Answer 1

One possible version:
Dear Mr. Smith,
I am writing to request the valuable chance to be one of the home-stay families for the American students. As an active girl studying in Guangming School of Tianjin, I’m quite good at English. My parents, who are kind and friendly, are in favor of my idea that I host an American student. We have a clean and comfortable house, which lies in a beautiful area of the city. Luckily, we have extra rooms for guests. My mother cooks well so the students will be able to enjoy delicious Chinese food. What’s more, my father is an excellent driver and we will be very glad to show foreign students around some local places of interest and some typical towns and villages in our area. I would greatly appreciate it if I could have the chance to make friends with them.
I’m looking forward to your early reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Jin

 
试题分析：本文是材料和图表结合的作文，通过认真读题，我们明白了写作要求和目的。本文要求写一封申请信，内容是关于住宿家庭的。应该用第一人称，时态多是一般现在时。写作前最好先根据给出的提纲，写出有关的短语和固定表达备用。最后串联起来。内容要点包括：我是光明中学学生，本人擅长英语；我母亲擅长烹饪，父亲会开车；家里的房子干净、舒适，有客房；计划带美国学生在周围游览；盼望回信。
【亮点说明】 本文做到了包含所有内容要点，语句通顺，标点符号运用正确。在150词左右的篇幅中，恰当地运用了一些短语和句式，如用动词的-ing形式和who、which引导的定语从句做定语，尤其是in favor of my idea that I host an American student运用了that引导的同位语从句说明自己的想法idea，还有appreciate、looking forward to等比较高级的词汇都可圈可点。
