The college entrance examination English application essay is written like this to avoid traces of routines

As a communicative style, there are types of invitation, congratulations, suggestions, help, applications, complaints, apologies, thanks, and consultations. In a large number of exercises, students are basically familiar with various topics and become more and more comfortable with practical writing, but at the same time, they also develop some bad writing habits, such as too routine writing, too single sentences, too deliberate cohesion, etc. In view of the above situation, the author will analyze the practical problems that may arise in students' assignments, in order to help students enrich their applied language expression.

Avoid being too routine and single

01 begins with a single form

Students often start with a single subject, such as "I" in an application letter, "you" in a thank you letter, etc.

Example 1 (2019 National Volume I) Suppose you are Li Hua, studying in London during the summer, and you learn that the local art museum is going to hold an exhibition of Chinese paintings. Please write a letter to volunteer, including the purpose of the letter, 2) personal strengths, and 3. what you can do.

Example 2 (2019 Zhejiang Volume) Suppose you are Li Hua, and your friend Alex, who often helps you learn English, will return to your home country. Please write him an email that includes thanks, 2) a review of Alex's help to you, and 3) a parting wish.

You gave me so much tender care and generous help, help me practise my spoken English but you encouraged me to read more English classics to enhance my reading ability.

2. The ending is the same

When students write letter essays, they always use a fixed number of sentences, which leads to a single ending pattern of writing.

【习作问题】“Looking forward to your early reply.” "I wouldappreciate it if you could write to me earlier.” “I wish you a pleasant journey.” 等。 【解决方法】(1)增添联系主题的话语。 I hope I may be granted , where I can explain my qualifications more fully. I am looking forward to your reply. (申请) Your can surely add color to our trip and we are all looking forward to your involvement. (邀请) (2)增加沟通互动，有你来我往的交流交际之感。 This is all about my career plan. What are held ? If you have any questions,just . (3)首尾呼应，表达内心感激、期望、道歉、慰问之情。 I will be quite if I am offered the opportunity. Thank you for your time and consideration. Your presence if you are available. I sincerely anticipate what I choose will take your fancy. you will adopt my recommendations. Best wishes for your family! I'm and any suggestion you give counts. I am I have caused and hope to make up for it. I and your life could return to normal.

03 Deliberate transition

一说到衔接，学生总是想到 “Firstly,… Secondly, … Last but not least, …” “In addition,…” 等 。

【习作问题】衔接过多且刻意：I have a good command of English, means I can communicate with visitors well. I have learned Chinese art so that I can help them to understand the meaning of the paintings. , I have a strong sense of responsibility,which makes me fit for the job. (2019年全国卷I)

【解决方法】增强行文的逻辑性和语言的精炼度。 行文逻辑好了，语义自然衔接流畅，无需刻意地去过渡和衔 接。 学生应灵活使用过渡词或短语，但不宜过多，以合适 贴切为佳。 本例中应增强行文逻辑、加强细节拓展、减少刻意为之的过渡衔接。 Having a good command of both Chinese and English, I can communicate with visitors freely. And as a result of a three-year learning about Chinese paintings, it won't be difficult for me to help visitors better understand the works in your gallery. If accepted as a volunteer,I'll make every effort to do my job well.

Common bridal transitions are shown in the table below:

自然顺畅的衔接示范： it's so nice of you to offer me a class of practical learning skills. , I have made such unbelievable progress in English. It's indeed a pleasant surprise for me to even rank first in a recent English speech contest. Whenever, you always cheer me up and help me out, which fuels my enthusiasm for English and promotes me to regaintremendous confidence. No words are strong enough to convey how grateful I am. (2019年浙江卷)总之，连贯自然的表达多是基于紧密的行文逻辑的。 积累了大量的连接词或词组以后，学生可在行文的恰当之 处明承，更可依托上下文的逻辑关系进行紧密衔接。 这样， 行文会更加流畅自然。

04 sentence structure is bland and single

When students write, the language expression is single, and there is a lack of rich and diverse vocabulary and sentences. Example: Let's say you're Li Hua and your New Zealand friend Noah sends you an email saying that he is interested in ancient Chinese architecture and plans to visit it during the summer vacation. Please send him an email with the following information: 1. Recommend the building to be visited, 2. Arrange a time for the visit, and 3. Make other suggestions.

【学生习作】Dear Noah,I'm delighted to hear that you are interested in Chinese traditional architecture. I'm honored to show you around. In my opinion,the Summer Palace is what you can't miss. With a long history the Summer Palace shows the wisdom and courage of our ancestors. If you are interested in it,I think it's best that we pay a visit on July 4th morning. What's more, don't forget to make preparations for different clothes seeingthe weather difference. Hope that can satisfy your requirement. Looking forward to your early reply. Yours,Li Hua

The language expression is not rich and authentic enough, the semantic cohesion and logical relationship are not handled well, and the statement of point 3 deviates from the content of the topic.

【改正】Dear Noah,I'm delighted to hear that you traditional Chinese architecture. the Summer Palace and show you around. With a long history,the Summer Palace, the architecture wisdom of our ancestors,is what you can't miss. If you are interested in it, we pay a visit to it on July 4th morning, a special exhibition about the palace will be held. you'd better read relative books to have a better knowledge of Chinese traditional culture and architecture. if you need further information. Looking forward to your coming. Yours,Li Hua

Undoubtedly, the rich language expression will definitely make the marking teacher pleasing to the eye. However, the flexibility of vocabulary and sentence structure is inseparable from the accumulation of time, and there are no shortcuts. Therefore, students should pay attention to consolidating vocabulary, reciting more, and accumulating exquisite sentence patterns.
