Answer 1

One possible version：
Dear Peter,
How is everything going? It seems that everyone is talking about whether we should have the 7-day holiday these days. Some people think that many places are too crowded during the holiday, especially the shops, the supermarkets and the places of interest. And there are too many cars on the highway and it will cause a lot of traffic accidents. What’s worse, it is bad for our environment, because too many cars will cause air pollution and if people throw rubbish, they will pollute the environment.
However, other people don’t agree. They think if they have a long holiday, they can have a good rest after long time of working. Besides, family can get together. Last, they can go travelling to places they like.
I think it is good to have a 7-day holiday. We can stay with our family, read some books or go to movies. If we want to travel, we can ride bikes to the nearby places. That’s a better way than travelling by car.
What’s your idea? Could you write to tell me about it ?
Yours,

試題分析：
這是一篇給材料作文，介紹是否恢復七天長假進行了正反方的討論，并給出自己的觀點。結合所給材料，可知本文主要考查一般現在時態，人稱為單數第一，三人稱，注意主謂一致問題，句子結構主要為動賓結構，注意一些常見句式的應用，比如：Some people think that......，it is bad for……， it is good to……，及They think……等句式的應用。寫作中注意運用代詞，注意多種句式交替運用。寫作中注意敘述順序，符合邏輯關系，注意文后要表達自己選擇適合自己的運動的理由。
【亮點說明】本文結構緊湊，語言簡練。開頭介紹了反對恢復七天長假的理由，接下來支持恢復七天長假的原因，最后指出自己的觀點。此處用了talking about，the places of interest. get together. stay with 等這些詞組的運用也讓文章增色不少。
