例4
假如你是报社的编辑西格蒙德(Sigmund)，收到了九年级学生安娜(Anna)的一封求助信。请根据来信内容，用英文写一封回信，帮助安娜解决问题。
Dear Sigmund,
I had a quarrel(争吵) about my hairstyle with my mother the other day. She insisted that I should cut my hair short because of the coming High School Entrance Exam, but I wanted to keep it long. I dream of a long hairstyle, but don't want to hurt my mother. What should I do? How can I persuade(说服) her?
Yours,
Anna
要求：
1. 词数100左右。短文的开头已为你写好，不计入总词数。
2. 不得透露学校、姓名等任何个人信息。
Dear Anna,
It's a pity that you haven't come to an agreement on your hairstyle, but it's common for parents and teenagers to have different opinions.
Best wishes,
Sigmund
【写作提示】
1. 题目解读:本文根据来信的问题给予建议，话题是“如何处理青少年烦恼”。学生要根据来信提出的问题:What should I do? How can I persuade her?给予建议。
2. 写作指导:本文是建议信。学生要使用表示建议的情态动词和句型，如should、need to、had better、why not ...、I suggest等。时态主要为一般现在时。要注意时态和人称的灵活使用。在文章内容组织方面，可以围绕两至三个要点阐述。如:(1)和妈妈好好沟通；(2)向妈妈保证留长发不会影响学习；(3)和妈妈讲你已经有能力处理好自己的事情等。本文虽然内容开放度较大，但是学生只要紧扣理解妈妈、处理好与妈妈的关系及自己的事情自己负责等要点进行写作，就能完成任务。
【参考范文】
Dear Anna,
It's a pity that you haven't come to an agreement on your hairstyle, but it's common for parents and teenagers to have different opinions.
As for your quarrel, an open talk is a must. First of all, you'd better make your mother believe your long hair will do no harm to your studies. I think that is exactly what worries your mother most and where your disagreement lies. If you can make sure of that, your hairstyle is up to you. Secondly, you are old enough to deal with your own affairs. Parents needn't be too worried about you. You must try your best to let her trust your ability and choice. Of course, parents love their children so much that they are sometimes too strict. You shouldn't be sad about that.
I hope my reply will be helpful to you.
Best wishes,
Sigmund

这是一篇建议信，需针对安娜与母亲因发型产生的矛盾给出合理建议。写作时采用一般现在时，运用should、had better等表建议的词汇和句型，可从和母亲坦诚沟通、向母亲保证留长发不会影响学习、让母亲相信自己有能力处理自身事务这几个要点展开，语言要得体，符合书信格式要求。
