“范文”

Dear Dick:

I came to see you but you happened to be out①. I would like to invite you to dinner at my house this Sunday evening. Now, let me tell you the way to② my house.

My house is at No. 25 Park Road. From your house you can first go eastward③ along Field Street. Then you’ll get to④ Riverside Road. Turn left and soon you’ll see a bridge. Please get across the bridge⑤ and go straight down⑥ Bridge Road. At the second crossing, turn to⑦ the south and at the end of Church Street ⑧ turn right. This is Park Road. Soon you’ll find a bookstore on the left. And next it is my house⑨. I am sure you’ll enjoy the dinner.

Yours,

Mike

“点评：”

这是一篇根据内容提示和图表展开的记叙性说明文，是一张便条。

首先文章使用了正确的便条格式。正文部分分两段，第一段作者根据内容提示，直截了当地告诉Dick你留便条的原因。然后用“Now, let me tell you the way to my house.”很自然地过渡到下文第二段，这样使文章层次分明，条理清楚。在第二段首句，作者开门见山先介绍了自己家所在的地方的名称，随后详细描述了应走的路线。在说明路线的过程中，使用了first, then, and soon, and, soon, and next to it等词组进行连接，使得文章结构紧凑，连贯，语言准确、地道，表达到位，是一篇优秀范文。
