Section Ⅲ Writing

Part A

51. Directions:

Write a letter to your university library, making suggestions for improving its service. You should write about 100 words on ANSWER SHEET2. Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter. Use “Li Ming” instead. Do not write the address. (10 points)

To whom it may concern,

I am writing the letter to make some suggestions for improving the service of our university library.

On the whole, I think our library functions pretty well, but its service is far from being perfect. Firstly, it is quite convenient to arrange an inquiry desk at the circulation hall, which enables the students to ask questions whenever necessary. Then, with the help of a professional librarian, students can go through the procedures more efficiently. In addition, it would be most helpful if the students have access to the latest Issues of foreign magazines. Lastly, you'd better maintain strict order at the reading room. I frequently found myself Disturbed by certain students chatting and smoking there.

It is my sincere hope that you will take my advice into consideration and I hold that it will benefit both the students and the university faculty as well.

Sincerely yours,

Li Ming

【真题解析】

　　首先就审题而言，诸考生们需要掌握应用文题型的审题技巧，以更快、更有效地掌握关键信息，节约做题时间。

　　1. 常规性规定部分

　　You should write about 100 words on ANSWER SHEET 2.

　　Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter. Use “Li Ming” instead.

　　Do not write the address. (10 points)

　　本部分规定的内容与前两年的规定内容基本一致。对于此部分，考生们只需在审题时关注一个内容即可，即应用文的署名。本题中规定为“Li Ming”，而这也是应用文考查历史中经常使用的署名规定内容。

　　2. 规定情景部分

　　Write a letter to your university library, making suggestions for improving its service.

　　本年的应用文中，规定情景部分较短，这也体现出了英语一小作文的命题特点，越来越简练，而给学生更多的发挥和写作空间，结果就是题目难度更高了。一般而言，对于此部分，考生们需要从中抓取四个关键信息：应用文类型、书信类型(如果应用文类型为书信)、收信人、应用文内容。

　　(1)应用文类型

　　就近十几年的应用文考查历史来看，应用文的考查类型基本分为两种：书信和通知。本题中，明确出现了letter这一个关键词，可确定本题要求书写的应用文类型为书信。

　　(2)书信类型

　　本题中，明确含有两个关键词：suggestions，可初步判断书信类型为建议信;其次，再结合此部分的内容(建议大学图书馆提高其服务质量)来看，说明可确定本题要求写的书信类型确实为建议信。

　　(3)收信人

　　本题的规定情景部分中，明确说明“to your university library”，也就是说收信人为大学图书馆。根据之前所写文章中收信人的格式使用情况，对于收信人，本题中并不知收信人为何人，故而本题中收信人可用“To Whom It May Concern,”。

　　(4)应用文内容

　　本题中规定书信内容为：making suggestions for improving its service，即建议图书馆提高服务质量。

　　其次，在已知本题规定写作类型为建议信后，根据之前文章中所解析的建议请信的写作方法，再结合本题的内容要求，本应用文内容可为：

　　自我介绍，表示相关，表扬在先，建议在后;

　　具体建议，附加原因;

　　表示期待。
