小作文考察的是一封邀请信的回函,要求写作内容包括:

  1、接受教授邀请给留学生做有关中国文化的presentation(介绍/演示)。

  2、提供介绍内容的关键信息。

  考官出题的套路并不好预测,和往年一样,让想依靠背模板来过写作关的同学眼前一黑,这完全证实了考研英语反押题反模板的一贯思路。不过从内容上看,写作手法也秉承了以往考研英语二小作文的思路----多种文体结合。

  此次写作完全可以写成一个感谢开头结合内容介绍的格式,思路简单但操作略有难度。写作过程中最难的地方在于有关中国文化的关键信息,对考生的基本功有一定要求。

  Dear Professor Williams,

  It is my honor to receive your invitation to give presentation about Chinese culture to international students. And I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude and provide the specific information about my presentation, which is about the brief introduction of Confucianism, the dominant philosophy of oriental culture.

  To begin with, the first part of my presentation is the brief introduction to Master Confucius and the Analects of Confucius. Relevant background about Spring and Autumn warring state period will also be introduced. In addition, the second part is about etiquette, one of the cores of Confucianism, which stabilized ancient Chinese society. Moreover, I would like to upload the e-book of English version of the Analects of Confucius to the official website of our university, so that the audience will be fully prepared.

  Thank you for your invitation, and I wish my presentation will be appreciated by the audience.

  Yours sincerely,

  Li Ming
