        【評析】
        今年考研的這篇小作文考查的是大家比較為熟悉的書信形式。由于各位考生在復(fù)習(xí)備考過程中一直將書信的寫作練習(xí)作為小作文備考的重點(diǎn)，而且大家對“電影”這個話題一般也有話可寫，因此整體難度不高。
        除了書信的格式要注意以外，題目提示中給出了兩個要點(diǎn)：一是推薦電影，二是給出理由。
        書信的開頭采用標(biāo)準(zhǔn)格式，正文首段可以直奔主題。如果寒暄比較好不要超過一句。第二段可以首先簡介一下電影的故事梗概，一兩句即可，要注意連貫。然后講出電影的特色。一般來說好電影的特點(diǎn)無非就是故事精彩、特效驚人、手法獨(dú)特、配樂優(yōu)美等，點(diǎn)出其中一兩個特色即可。結(jié)束段可以再次強(qiáng)調(diào)自己的推薦，并提出自己的希望，比如希望對方喜歡，或者希望跟對方作進(jìn)一步討論等。比較后在正確的位置寫上Yours并署Li Ming，小作文寫作結(jié)束。
        考研英語寫作要求目的明確，要點(diǎn)完備，結(jié)構(gòu)清晰，語言流暢。小作文中，可以簡單句為主，如果能在此基礎(chǔ)上進(jìn)行一些并列和復(fù)合來增加語言的多樣性則更佳。
        【范文】
        Dear Liu Lei,
         I’m writing to tell you about a fantastic movie I have just watched, as we always share the same taste of movies.
        The movie is Avatar, which tells a story of a soldier who, on an alien planet filled with exotic life forms, finds himself torn between two worlds in a fight for the survival of the alien people. Besides the touching and thrilling story, the movie also features brilliant visual effects, thanks to the talented director and advanced computer technology.
        So I recommend it to you as one of the best movies I have ever watched. I’m sure you will love it as much as I do. I’m looking forward to discussing more with you after you watch it. 
 Yours,
