Question

  假定你是王明，最近参加了志愿者培训，在培训中你了解到：除了要学好外语外，还要了解不同国家的身势语，只有这样才能更好地帮助外国朋友。你想把这些情况写信告诉在外地的笔友——李平。现在请你以王明的名义写这封信，信要包括下面的要点：

1.身势语的作用；

2.对于不同的国家来说，身势语也不同；(举一至两个例子说明)

3.了解不同文化中身势语的重要意义。注意：

1.不要逐字逐句地翻译要点，可根据需要适当增加；

2.词数120词左右。(文章开头和结尾已给，不计人词数) Dear Li Ping，

Glad to write to you！These days I am attending some training courses for being a volun?teer. In order to be a good volunteer, we should learn about body language as well as foreign languages. I find it interesting. I'd like to share it with you.

                                                                                

                                                                                 

So much for these, I must stop now. Looking forward to your letter.

                                                                         Yours，

                                                                      Wang Ming

 写作支招

 写作定性

此文的文体虽为信件，但要求所写的段落却是说明文，先介绍身势语的作用，再举例说

明，然后加上评价。所以，本文由称呼(salutation) 、问候(greetings) 、正文(body) 、结束语(conclusion) 和署名(signature) 组成，可以分为三段。时态主要为一般现在时。句子多为陈

述句。

二) 难点突破

1.可用词汇

powerful, interesting, means, communication, culture, spoken language, shake hands, kiss in the cheek, stand close to,nod,misunderstanding, avoid

2.结构模仿身势语的重要性：

It can help you make yourself understood easily. Sometimes it is more powerful than spoken language.

举例说明:运用例子更有说服力，同时使文章有趣味性。

Take greeting for example.

For example/instance, the ways of... vary from country to country.

对身势语的评价:运用it及动名词短语做主语使句子形式富有变化。

It is necessary/important/interesting to study body language.

Knowing body language well will do good to our communication.

Knowing body language of a certain culture well will benefit us in communication.

3.参考句型

sb. tried to make oneself understood/heard某人尽力使自己被听懂/听到 I'd like to take sth. for example我想以某事为例…，for example, .../..., such as...例如avoid sth. /doing sth.避免某事/做某事 There is no doubt that…毫无疑问

Answer 1

 Dear Li Ping，

Glad to write to you！These days I am atten?ding some training courses for being a volunteer. In order to be a good volunteer, we should learn about body language as well as foreign languages. I find it interesting. I，d like to share it with you.

Body language, which is one of the most powerful means of communication, is used by people for sending messages to one another. Sometimes it is even more powerful than spoken language. Body language is very useful because it can help you make yourself understood easily.

As we all know,every culture has its own body language. Take greetings for example, the ways of greeting vary from country to country. The French, who are open-minded often shake hands and kiss each other on the cheek when they meet people they know. Men from Middle East and other Muslin countries often stand close to other men to talk,but they will never touch women. They just nod at women.

There is no doubt that studying body language will help reduce misunderstanding between people and avoid the difficulties in communication. Knowing body language of a certain culture well will benefit us in communication.

So much for these, I must stop now. Looking forward to your letter.

Yours， Wang Ming
