Answer 1

【答案】Dear Evan,

It’s not easy being in your situation. It’s normal to have these feelings. But every coin has two sides. Being the eldest child in the family surely has its advantages.

Firstly. you used to enjoy all the love from your parents. You’re loved and admired by your brother and sister. You won’t feel lonely with them around you and you can learn how to share and how to get on with others. Together with them you’ll grow up more quickly.

Secondly, people of different ages have different duties. Think of your parents how hard they are working! As you are growing older, you are supposed to do more and do better than your brother and sister. Everyone has to grow up and we all have to do what we should do. We have to be responsible for ourselves.

So I think if you don’t compare with babies, just think of your duty, you will feel much better. Don’t complain about your situation. Try your best to do the things of your age.

Attitude is everything. You are sure to grow into an outstanding young man.

Yours truly,

Ron Todd

【解析】這篇習(xí)作的層次清晰，內(nèi)容飽滿，表達(dá)流暢。文中使用了非常好的短語，例如in the family，used to do，how to share，get on with，grow up，think of，do more and do better，have to do，compare with，complain about，try one’s best等。而You won’t feel lonely with them around you and you can learn how to share and how to get on with others./ As you are growing older, you are supposed to do more and do better than your brother and sister./ So I think if you don’t compare with babies, just think of your duty, you will feel much better.等復(fù)雜句式結(jié)構(gòu)的運(yùn)用，使本文內(nèi)容豐富，表達(dá)多樣。同時，F(xiàn)irstly、Secondly等詞使文章層次清晰、敘述自然，是本文的亮點(diǎn)所在。
