答案

Dear Roger,
Thank you for your letter. You have said you want to know something about Chinese festivals. And now I’d like to talk about the Lantern Festival.
The Lantern Festival is on the fifteenth day after the Chinese lunar New Year. It can date back to the Han Dynasty. When it came into the Tang Dynasty, the festival became quite popular. In the Song Dynasty, it turned into a festival which lasted for longest time. And in the Qing Dynasty, it developed to be the largest one.
There are quite a lot of traditions for this day. On this festival, we Chinese often enjoy lanterns, guess riddles written on the lanterns, eating yuanxiao(a kind of rice glue ball), step on stilts and row land boats, etc.
As a traditional festival, it has a profound meaning in China. It is the first day when the moon is full round in the Chinese lunar calendar, and it’s also the beginning of the year when spring starts. With celebrating the festival, people also celebrate the lasting of the New Year.
Lovely yours,
Wang Ming

解析

本文是考生非常熟悉的书信形式，介绍中国的元宵节(the Lantern Festival)。要点已经给出，考生要用适当的语言表达出来，不能遗漏要点，可以适当增加细节，对于考生的整理能力要求较高。写作时注意使用合理的连接词，First, What’s more等词的使用使文章更连贯，使用高级词汇和1,2两个高级句型，让文章更有档次。象这句话it turned into a festival which lasted for longest time.这是用了定语从句，On this festival, we Chinese often enjoy lanterns, guess riddles written on the lanterns, eating yuanxiao(a kind of rice glue ball), step on stilts and row land boats, 这句话出现了两个非谓语动词的用法，还有turned into和date back to这样的词组。运用的很恰当。
