初中英语作文：A Letter to A Friend

　　在中考英语作文整篇文章中，建议同学们避免只是用一两个句式，要灵活运用各种句式。如倒装句、强调句、省略句、主从复合句、对比句、分词短语等。2、使用不同长度的句子，通过简单句和复合句，增强句子的连贯性和表现力。3、改变句子的开头方式，不要一味以主、谓、宾、状的次序。可以把状语置于句首，或使用分词短语等动词的非谓语形式。4、学会使用过渡词。如：1)递进：further more, moreover, besides, in addition, then etc.2)转折：however, but, nevertheless, after all etc. 3)总结：finally, at last, in brief, to conclude 4)强调：really, indeed, certainly, surely, above all etc. 5)对比：in the same way, just as, on the other hand, etc. 5、避免重复使用同一单词或词组。6、注意运用固定词组、习语、谚语来代替一些词表达意思，以增加文采。

　　Dear Lucy,

　　I am so glad to receive your letter and happy to know that you have a pleasant holiday. Please send my sincere wishes to your parents. I have a happy holiday just like you do. This holiday, I visited to Guangzhou with my parents. Guangzhou, also known as the Flower City, there are many flowers along the both sides of streets. It’s very beautiful. Besides, the environment is clean and the climate is comfortable. There are many skyscrapers in Guangzhou, especially in the downtown. We visited to many tourist attractions. They are all worth visiting. I hope you can visit there personally one day. You must like it.

　　Best wishes.

　　Sincerely yours,

　　Alva

　　亲爱的露西：

　　很高兴收到的你来信，并得知你度过了一个愉快的假期。请代我向你的父母送上最真诚的祝福。我也和你一样，度过了一个开心的假期。假期期间，我和我的爸爸妈妈到广州旅游了。广州，又名花城，在街道两旁有许多美丽的鲜花。另外，那里的环境很干净，气候很舒适。广州有许多高楼大厦，特别是市中心那里。我们去了很多景点，都很好玩，值得一去。希望你有一天能亲自去看看，你一定会喜欢那里的。

　　此致

　　敬礼
