选项
答案Dear Mayor, I am a second year college student. I feel honored and obliged to (1) write to you about the traffic problems in the city. Recently, the city’s traffic is getting worse and worse. A lot of people complain that the city has become a big parking lot because in the rush hours(2), cars are jammed on the road and can hardly move. This will undoubtedly have a negative effect on(3) the city. On the one hand, with people spending so much time on traffic, their efficiency is greatly lowered and on the other, irritated by the jam(4), some drivers get impatient, angry and as a result, some of them display bad driving manners(5), which in turn causes more traffic problems. Traffic conditions can also affect a city’s image, which is linked to the investment environment and hence the economy(6). Therefore, it is important to solve this problem in time. First, the government can control the number of cars by raising relevant costs(7); second, we could better(8) the conditions and service of the public transport system and encourage people to take the public transport instead of driving the private car; third, we should improve the traffic management. It is hoped that this question can be taken into your consideration and our city can be turned into a better city with all of our efforts(9). Sincerely yours,
解析     书信体作文首先应注意信写给谁，从而据此确定该信语言的礼貌程度和正式程度。本文要求写给市长，因此，表达中应注意礼貌以及正式程度都与写给朋友的信件不同。另外，注意书信写作的格式。在考试中，一般需在书信正文的右上方标注日期，无需写地址，另外不能透露考生个人的信息。
    1．feel以honored and obliged to do sth．表示“感到荣幸且感到有责任做某事”。该表达增添了行文的礼貌程度。
    2．rush hour为“交通的高峰期”，此处用了复数形式，旨在表达“高峰时段”不止一个。中文中名词后没有复数标志，因此，考生应注意根据概念确定名词为复数还是单数形式。
    3．have a negative effect on sth./sb.表示“对……有负面影响”。
    4．irritated by the jam表示“被塞车弄得心烦”，注意此处选择的结构为过去分词结构，而没有使用句子“some drivers are irritated by the jam”，这是因为后面部分的主语为some drivers，在这种主语前后一致的情况下，选择用分词结构作原因状语，符合英文表达习惯。
    5．display bad driving manners意为“开车不守规矩/规则”，注意manners表示“礼节，礼貌”等，要用复数形式。Manner表示“方式”，考生应注意区分。
    6．investment environment表示“投资环境”，hence表示“冈此”，就用法而言，该词后既可接句子，也可直接接名词或名词性短语。
    7．raise relevant costs表示“提高相关费用”。考生应注意raise的拼写。
    8．better可作动词，表示“使……更好”；由于英文一般忌重复，此处选择用 better代替improve以避免重复。
    9．“It is hoped...”较“I hope...”正式；take sth. into consideration意为“考虑”。最后说“our city can be turned into a better city with all our efforts”增加了行文的礼貌程度，使该信更易被收信人接受：写信人希望通过大家的共同努力使城市变得更美好(而不是给别人提意见，自己什么都不做)。
