Answer 1

【答案】Dear Johnson,

I’m sorry to hear that you feel depressed now. although it’s a shame that you got punished severely by your parents, it’s a useful experience and lesson for you. so you don’t have to feel so depressed, and just let it go.

As a high school student, it’s wrong for you to lie to your parents. We have been taught to be honest since we were very young. We should behave honestly and be ourselves in daily life. in addition, if you get into trouble and need your parents’ help, you’d better go ahead to say them out to them. In a word, don’t make up any excuse and lie to your parents. I hope you can feel better and come back to the normal life.

Yours,

Li Hua

【解析】根据题目要求你需要就Johnson因对父母撒谎受到严厉批评的事情向他写一封回信，题目中明确要求要有：进行安慰；指正错误；给出建议三个方面的内容。

首先，同学们要使用较为柔和的语气对Johnson进行安慰并达到平复其情绪的目的；然后要明确地指出撒谎是不正确的行为，要告诉Johnson撒谎会造成哪些不好的结果和影响以及为什么不能撒谎；最后向Johnson提出几条中肯的建议如多和父母沟通等等。

同学们要能适当把握三个部分的内容，使文章内容相协调，使用恰当的连接词，使语义连贯，连接顺畅。

【范文亮点】

范文有一些值得大家学习的地方，如：文章使用了很多优秀的短语：in addition 除此之外；go ahead 前进；make up编造，等等；文章也使用了多样的句式，如让步状语从句“although it’s a shame that you got punished severely by your parents……”，被动语句“we have been taught to be honest since we were very young”等等。
