Dear Andy,
I am Li Hua. I now study in Sunshine Middle school. I will come to your school as a short - term exchange student. I am writing to ask if I can take part in some voluntary work in your community or school.
I’m familiar with different kinds of sports events, and I am good at communicating with others. The most importantly, I have rich experience in doing voluntary work. For example, last summer holiday, I volunteered in old people’s home with my friends. We sang and danced for the old. This experience not only brought me happiness but also made me more confident.
I hope to get a reply soon. As a Chinese student, I haven’t been to any foreign schools before. So I can’t wait to pack my bag and get on board. Look forward to meeting you guys.
Yours,
Li Hua
[名师点评]
短文首先介绍自己的基本情况,然后简述一次志愿服务经历,最后表达对交换生活的期待,让读者体会到作者想做志愿者的急迫心情。
① 短文开篇点题,表明了自己写信的目的,想做志愿者；
② 短文使用了 the most importantly、for example 等词汇,使短文层次丰富,更具有说服力；
③ if 引导的宾语从句彰显了作者扎实的语法功底；
④ 固定短语 be familiar with、“not only... but also...”和 look forward to 的使用,是短文的加分项。
答案：I am kind and always ready to help others. In my free time, I love reading different kinds of books and travelling a lot, so I can get on well with people of different ages. Last summer, I worked as a volunteer in the community library. I helped sort out books and told stories to left-behind children there. The experience not only improved my communication skills, but also brought me a strong sense of satisfaction. I really expect to join in the voluntary work. I hope I can learn more about local culture and make new friends during my exchange stay.
解析：
本题是八年级要求的英文书信类自荐信写作，解题思路如下：
1. 明确写作基础要求：体裁为申请类书信，使用第一人称创作，时态以一般现在时（介绍自身情况）、一般过去时（叙述过往志愿经历）为主，总词数控制在90词左右，题干给出的划线内容不计入总词数，不得出现真实人名、校名。
2. 内容全覆盖题干指定要点：
① 基本情况介绍：补充说明自己性格温和、乐于助人，平时热爱读书和旅行，擅长和不同的人友好沟通，适配志愿服务的相关要求；
② 志愿服务经历：用for example引出具体的过往志愿事件，合理运用本单元核心短语not only...but also...等课内所学表达，让内容真实有说服力；
③ 交换生活期待：表达自己十分期待本次英国交换生活，说明希望通过参与社区志愿服务更快融入当地、了解本土文化的想法。
3. 写作时注意语气礼貌得体，逻辑衔接自然，适当运用宾语从句、固定搭配等知识点提升作文得分。
