Answer 1

One possible version: 
Dear editor,
I am writing to tell you about how children from different countries choose gifts for their mothers on Mother’s Day.
Lily is from England. She’d like to give a green scarf as a gift to her mother. Her mother’s favorite color is green and she really needs a scarf. Tom comes from the USA. He’d like to give his mother a hand-made card. Because it’s easy to make a card by himself and it means a lot.
My name is Li Tao. I’m from China. My mother is a teacher. I want to give her a nice cup. Then she can use it to drink a cup of tea and have a good rest after work. 
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Tao

試題分析：本文的寫作不難，首先對Lily的情況進行描寫，說明她送圍巾的原因Her mother’s favorite color is green and she really needs a scarf.然后對Tom的情況進行說明，并說明送這個禮物的原因Because it’s easy to make a card by himself and it means a lot. 最后介紹自己的情況，可以說自己的媽媽是老師，所以想送一個杯子給媽媽這樣媽媽就可以用它來沏茶，工作后可以得到休息Then she can use it to drink a cup of tea and have a good rest after work.
點評：本文難度不大，寫作條理性要把握好，對于初三的作文，不要求有很華美的詞語，重在培養自己連詞成句的能力，避免中式英文。在平時的練習中要多去背誦范文，對表達好的句子，短語要進行積累，并默寫，考試前再集中看一下，這樣做到有備無患。
