[思路]

第一段說明學(xué)生的運(yùn)動(dòng)目的各有不同；

第二段詳細(xì)陳述兩種不同的觀點(diǎn)；

第三段提出自己的觀點(diǎn)：運(yùn)動(dòng)既要有興趣還要兼顧健康。

4.AThank-youLetterJune19th[l]DearSirorMadam[2]OnbehalfoftheStudentUnionofouruniversityIsincerelythankXcompanyAThank-youLetterJune,19th[l]DearSirorMadam,[2]OnbehalfoftheStudentUnionofouruniversity,IsincerelythankXcompany解析：這篇作文屬于應(yīng)用文寫作。在寫信的時(shí)候，首先必須把自己置于相關(guān)的情境中：明白寫信人(“我”)是誰，收信人(“你”)是誰，二者關(guān)系如何，寫這封信的目的是什么。在此基礎(chǔ)上，再根據(jù)outline的要求考慮如何把相關(guān)信息融入信中。這樣的信，才能得體。

以本作文為例，我們可以判斷：①寫信人是代表學(xué)生會(huì)動(dòng)筆的，不應(yīng)看做私人信件。這種信可以用DearSirorMadam作抬頭，也可以直接稱呼對(duì)方DearMr.Smith之類(當(dāng)然可以假定寫信人是認(rèn)識(shí)對(duì)方X公司的經(jīng)理或老總的了)。落款則應(yīng)寫自己的名字。②寫信的目的有兩個(gè)，首先是感謝對(duì)方的贊助(送禮也是表示謝意的方式)，其次是表達(dá)良好的祝愿。要辨明重點(diǎn)，應(yīng)該以表示謝意為主，祝愿的內(nèi)容只需最后簡短表示即可。③學(xué)生會(huì)這樣的學(xué)生團(tuán)體如果要給贊助過自己的企業(yè)表示感謝，應(yīng)該會(huì)送什么禮物呢?outline沒有明確說明，需考生沒身處地杜撰一個(gè)——這是本作文題的難點(diǎn)!絕不能太貴；一定要有紀(jì)念意義；該禮品注重精神價(jià)值而非物質(zhì)價(jià)值；該禮品應(yīng)該可以為公司收藏，可以放入公司“陳列室”里。從這些要求出發(fā)設(shè)想一個(gè)禮品出來吧!范文用記錄足球賽頒獎(jiǎng)典禮的DVD作禮品，就很好，很得體。(此外還可以考慮送什么禮物呢?書畫作品、相冊(cè)、都可以吧!)

Analysis

[1]這是公函的格式。

[2]把outline的第1點(diǎn)開門見山說出來。應(yīng)用文忌套話空話，直接點(diǎn)題是最好的辦法。注意“代表……表示感謝”的說法。

[3]寫信時(shí)的必背句型。無論求職求學(xué)還是別的場合，都有可能需要隨信附送別的文件/物件之類，就要用到attached/enclosedpleasefind…。

[4]說明送禮意圖。remembrance，用得好。此處也可以用gift等。

[5]對(duì)禮物的含義加以說明是必要的。下面的幾句話都是說明該禮物與公司贊助的活動(dòng)之間的關(guān)系的。

[6]再次表示感謝。

[7]緊扣outline的第3點(diǎn)。表示祝愿。注意文中“感謝”的表達(dá)方法：thank,gratitude，appreciate。詞語富于變化才能顯得有文采。
