Answer 1

分析 这是一篇谢绝邀请的信件，根据题目要求可知要利用第一人称叙述，时态以一般现在时态为主．内容主要分成三部分：一 表明书信的目的；二 说明谢绝的理由和推荐Mary的原因；三再次表达歉意． 
1．I strongly recommend my friend Mary，who（引导定语从句，who代指Mary） is the most suitable choice to take my place next week． 
我强烈推荐我的朋友Mary，她是下一周最适合代替我的人． 
2．She began to learn painting at an early age and （连接并列句）has a good knowledge of the traditional Chinese painting，which（引导定语从句，which代指主句），together with her active personality and perfect spoken English，will help to make your activity a success 
她在很小的时候就开始学习绘画，熟知传统的国画，再加上她活泼的性格和完美的英文口语，她肯定会有助于让你的活动成功．

点评 英语写作是一项主观性较强的测试题．它不仅考查学生的写作基础而且还考查学生在写作过程中综合运用语言的能力．在撰写时要注意主谓语一致，时态呼应，用词贴切等．要提高英语写作水平，需要两方面的训练：一是语言基础方面的训练，要有扎实的造句、翻译等基本功，即用词法、句法等知识造出正确无误的句子；二是写作知识和能力 方面的训练以掌握写作方面的基本方法和技巧．
