Dear Bob,

It’s very kind of you to write to me and let me know about your beautiful city. Now I’d like to tell you something about my hometown, Taiyuan.

The city stands on the bank of the Fenhe River. it is a good place for people to live in as the climate here is neither too hot nor too cold.. Its economy has been developing rapidly in the past ten years. New factories, houses and roads have been built. More schools and hospitals are available for its people.However, there are still some problems, such as water and air pollution and heavy traffic in rush hours.

In my opinion, Tiayuan should develop its economy scientifially. I would also think that the groth of its population should be brought under control so that we’ll have a better hometown in future.

Yours,

Xiaohua

题目分析：本文是一篇书信体作文。作文的主旨是：介绍家乡太原的情况。主要包括两大方面的内容：自然情况，成就，存在问题及对太原发展的看法。其中大部分要点都已经提示出来了，而且要点比较齐。只要适当增加细节，以使行文连贯流畅就行了。但在“对太原发展的看法”方面，内容是由考生自己拟定，故属于半开放类作文。考生可以自由发挥，写出两三个要点就可以了。

点评：注意回信作文首先要简短的提一下写信人的问题，用一个承接的句子，如本文中It’s very kind of you to write to me ...Now I’d like to tell you something about还可以记住一个通用的开头格式：Thanks for your letter. I'm very glad to hear from you.(谢谢你的来信，收到你的信我非常高兴)这是一个比较通用的回信开头。其他的内容要依据来信内容或者要向对方陈述的内容而定。
