A Letter to Mother

April 6th

Dear Mother,

I feel bad today. I saw the doctor. At first I told him I had a fever and felt very tired. I was aching all over and got a sore throat. The doctor thought I caught the flu that＇s going around here. Then he looked at my throat and checked my pulse rate. After that he told me there was nothing serious. He asked me to have a few days rest and drink more water. At last he gave me some medicine. I think I＇ll get well in no time.

Don＇t worry about me.

Your daughter,

Jane

【寫法指要】

1）這是女兒給母親寫的一封信。信的內(nèi)容是根據(jù)上述對(duì)話中Jane找Doctor看病的經(jīng)過(guò)寫的。所以，信文實(shí)際上是一篇過(guò)程說(shuō)明文（process analysis essay）。過(guò)程說(shuō)明文最顯著的特點(diǎn)就是用表示時(shí)間先后順序的銜接詞語(yǔ)連貫全文，如本文中的“at first”，“then”，“after that”，“at last”就是這樣的詞語(yǔ)。

2）把對(duì)話改寫成短文時(shí)，最重要的一點(diǎn)就是把直接引語(yǔ)變成間接引語(yǔ)。這時(shí)，就要注意正確使用如文中的“I told him (that)…”，“The doctor thought (that)…”，“…he told me (that)…”，“He asked me to…”等具有轉(zhuǎn)述功能的句型。此外，還須注意人稱代詞、指示詞、時(shí)間或地點(diǎn)副詞的轉(zhuǎn)換和應(yīng)用。
