范文

Dear Tom,

    I’m glad to receive your letter.

    How is everything going? The novel coronavirus has spread throughout the world. After a tough fight, our country has achieved great success in controlling it and gradually returned to peaceful life.Currently, I go to school as usual, but still wearing a mask. Teachers record our temperatures every day.

    I have some advice on how to prevent it. The most important thing is to stay at home and reduce outdoor activities. Second, wash your hands often with soap and water. It is a useful way to keep you from the virus. Third, when you have to go out, you must wear a mask. Remember, if you have a fever or a cough, you had better go to see a doctor for further examination.

    We believe winter will finally pass, and spring is sure to come.

    Hope everything goes well with you.

Yours,

Li Hua

【点评】

文章开头表示了对疫情的关心，接着介绍现在中国疫情已经好转，及自己作为学生目前的情况。然后就如何防护提出了几条建议。最后表达对战胜疫情的信心。

在“注意防护”要点中，the most important、second、third等表示逻辑的词使文章条理清晰。

同时使用了不定式作表语、祈使句、it作形式主语、if条件句等多种句型，使文章表达丰富。

结尾部分化用雪莱的诗，表达了对人们最终战胜疫情的信心，也为文章增加了亮点。If winter comes, can spring be far behind? — Shelley “如果冬天来了，春天还会远吗？”

    Good morning, everyone! I am Li Hua from Grade 9. It is my great privilege toshare with you my opinions on Heroes in Harm’s Way.

    The person I would like to introduce to you is Zhong Nanshan. He is an extraordinary expert who made great contributions in the battle against the COVID-19. It is he who put himself forward without hesitation. He told us to stay at home, but he took the latest train to Wuhan which was the most dangerous place. Without worrying about his own safety, he treated the patients and studied the virus as quickly as he could. Thanks to his guidance, we recovered from this disaster.

    His responsibility and devotion (奉献) inspire me to study hard so that I can make contributions to the society in the future.

    Thank you for your listening.

【点评】

文章首先点明演讲主题，然后介绍人物钟南山，并按时间“去武汉”-“到武汉展开工作”顺序介绍具体事迹，最后表达钟院士的事迹对自己的启发，自己将努力学习，为社会做贡献。

表达上，作者运用了it作形式主语、定语从句、强调句、现在分词作状语等多种丰富的语法点，表现出了较好的写作水平，突出了钟院士不畏艰险，直上一线的形象。其中的词汇和短语等也值得借鉴。
