【试题分析】

题目要求考生以写回信的方式，汇报一下自己高中二年级选修课的一些情况。写作内容贴近学生生活，使学生熟悉的题材。回信的开头和结尾部分已经给出，因此考生无需考虑信件的格式问题。

题目要求考生从给出的11个选修课程中选取两个课程进行叙述，应该说给考生提供了非常大的选择空间，有利于考生选取自己最熟悉的题材，展示出自己最高的英语表达水平。

题目要求考生选取两个课程，并要求考生说明选取这两门课的原因。考生可根据自己的情况，任选两门自己最熟悉，最善于用英语表达的课程。说明原因的时候，一般应该说明选择该课程对自己未来发展有何种益处。如果只说“我对这门课感兴趣。”，就不能很好地表达题目要求传递的信息，得分就不会很高。

另外，给出的部分是半句话，结尾是一个介词，因此还要求考生要接着往下写，不可另起一个句子或段落。

这篇的人称应该用第一人称。时态的选择稍微复杂。在说到二年级的时候，该用过去时态；在说到该课程对自己未来的帮助时可以用现在时或将来时。结构以三段为宜。第一段接着about往后写，把句子完成即可。第二段写第一选修课程，第三段写第二选修课程。也可以再加一个总结段落，写成四段。当然，如果上下文连接比较清楚，像参考范文那样，两个自然段也能很好地解决问题。

【短语句型】

1.     take a … course

【参考范文】

Dear Jordan,

    I was happy to hear from you and now I am writing to tell you something about the selective courses that we took when we were in Senior Grade Two.

    The school provided many selective courses for us to choose from. In my case, I chose Photography and Badminton. The reason why I chose Photography is that I liked taking photos and that I wanted to learn how to take good pictures. In fact I learned a lot in this course and have begun to take better pictures now, two of which were awarded by the school last term. I took badminton class mainly because it was an easy form of exercise, which would benefit my physical health a lot. The badminton course taught me the basic skills as well as the rules of this game and I believe that I will be a better player with more practice. In a word, the selective courses have added to the enjoyment of our school life.

    Looking forward to your next letter.（153 words）
