Dear Tom,
I am now back China and sound. In this letter I would like to convey my heartfelt appreciation to you for your kind assistance in my English learning when I was in New York. Additionally, your generous help and tender care made me feel warmly welcomed and transformed my first American trip into a unforgettable memory.
I have been missing our English professor, Mr. Smith whose unusual cast of mind, wide and varied knowledge, together with a singular personal charm, combined to exert a strong influence on me. What about him recently? I desire to contact him for some suggestions on improving my listening ability. However, his email address is not available. So would you mind delivering it to me via the online mailbox? From liuxuepaper.com.
I am more than delighted to invite you to join us to celebrate the Spring Festival -Chinese Lunar New Year so that I can repay your friendship. You can partner with me to have a try in lion dances ,which is extremely exciting. And the grand lantern festival parade will be bound to impress you. I assure you that you would enjoy visiting here as I did at you home.
With my best regards!
Yours cordially,
Li Hua

【专家简评】
李华，写信，海外学习背景，回国后的联系。和全国卷I短文写作的基本命题路数一致，是一种小心翼翼的翻版。
所给话题第三条“邀请Tom在春节期间来中国感受中国文化”不失为很好的思路。语言的学习离不开文化，语言的交流更离不开母语文化的输出，学习别国语言并不代表别国的语言优于母语，更不等于别国的文化优于母语文化，只不过各自文化的发展路径不一样，文化的优势结构也不一样，等等。
其实，文化的多元性和多样性只能说明我们这个世界丰富多彩，而不能由此得出自家文化不如别国文化的观点。所以，学习语言的目的不外乎两个，一是要“师夷之长技”，也就是要将别国的器物文化、制度文化到思想文化化为己用，使自己的文化更为先进和发达；另一个则是“自立于世界民族之林”，也就是要将自己的独特的灿烂的文化推介出去。
所以，分省命题六年来，大家都接受了这样一个观点，那就是不仅要掌握目的语背后的东西，更要关怀母语背后的东西。不仅要关注异族语言与文化的输入，更要关注母语及自家文化的输出。
