【答案】Dear Bill，
Having learnt you are planning to study the Chinese language and that you cannot decide
whether to opt for the Listening and Speaking course or the Reading and Writing one，I，as a
Chinese native speaker，am writing to put forward my own idea that the first option might be
more suitable for you.
The reasons behind the choice，as far as I can see，can be analyzed in three aspects.To begin
with，as is universally acknowledged，listening and speaking is the very beginning and
foundation of learning a language，be it the mother tongue or a foreign language.In addition，
regarding the course is given twice a week，learning a foreign language intensively has been
proved more effective by linguists.Last but not least，that the teaching language is Chinese only
shall force you to listen attentively and speak earnestly，ensuring a fast progress in language
skills.
To sum up，the Listening and Speaking course will prove to be more relevant，effective and
efficient，which，by contrast，cannot be achieved by the Reading and Writing course.It is，
therefore，advisable that you choose the former.Hope the above might be of any help to
you.Thank you for your time and wish you a great success in learning Chinese.
Yours，
Li Hua

【点评】图表类写作题一向是书面表达中的难点。它不像看图叙事和提示作文那样直观
明了，文体多以说明文和议论文为主。考查时要求同学们根据所给的图表、数据等进行
分析、研究，阅读其中的文字和说明，弄清各种信息之间的关系，提炼要点，然后组织
语言进行写作，必要时还要加入作者自己的观点。
和看图叙事不同的是，写图表作文时对图表和数据内容不必全部描述，只需重点引用能
支持观点的一些数据。分析图表时切不可凭空想象，要善于抓住总的规律和趋势。时态
方面除特定的时间用过去时外，常用一般现在时。
