Hyun Sil Choi的来信（二）

对于学习语言来说，我认为除了非技术层面的“信心和兴趣”首当其冲，非常重要以外，模仿是很重要的，不仅仅是口语，还有对写作的模仿；对于刚开始进行 笔友通信的筒子们，没话可说，不知道说什么应该是常见的通病，在这个时候，捕捉生活中的一些细节，做个有心人，同时也要善于运用一些基本的套路；

Hi Hyun Sil Choi,

 

nice hearing from you ,Here is Eric from China

• 开头这样写，是让对方回忆起自己到底是哪棵葱，姓什名谁。

I was very pleased when i got your mail 3 hours ago ,it was quite a

surprise for me cuz after i have registered my ID in XXX.com ,I

suppose that no one could ever drop me a mail ! Thank God ,I got two

mails .heh:)

It'll be my pleasure to exchange emails or snailmails with you as my

Korean penpal ,but now I would like to do some emailing ,i hope we

could start snail-mail after we know each other better in coming

several weeks .

 

I have been exchanging snailmails with one of my penpals in USA and

it's so fun and personal and classic ! :)

• Have been doing sth：过去完成进行时，表示之前一直在做，持续到现在，将来也可能继续会做的事情。E.g. I have been learning English for 10 years. 我英文已经学习了10年了；

• Penpals，大多见于美式英语，pal=friend,penpal就是我们熟悉的 penfriend；

okay ,let me introduce myself 1st

I am Eric Shore ,my Chinese name is Wang Xiao ,Wang the family name

,Xiao given name ,meaning "smile " .like this ----> ^_^

I am now a Junior student studying in university and major in

translation .i like internet chat and emailing with different people

and in my spare time ,i play some computer games such as CS ,some

flash games are also okay .

• 这里的语法没有什么好解释的；介绍的话，也比较老套；名字name，职业profession，爱好hobbies；延伸到introduction，还可以讲到family, country；另外要注意，随着相互了解的加深，细节的东西要凸显，这样才会给对方一个真实的你，越来越清晰的你；

• 其实也好像聊家常一样。说名字你可以一下就说出来，但是也可以说些有趣的事情；比如说名字，就可以联想说来，中文名字是什么，英文是什么，昵称是什么，网名呢？有什么意思？怎么得来的？发音是什么？这样一说就很多，可以拓展的细节点就很多了；

And I do some sports as football and pingpong as well .and I like

watching movies both made in China and Aborad.

So ,how about you ? do you work or study ? what's your hobbies ? do

you like pets ?

• 沟通是双向的，就好像相亲的大忌是只说自己的好，不顾及对方的感受，不给别人发言的机会一样。在通讯的时候，也要注意“我方唱罢你登场”的原则，介绍下自己，多问下“how about you”挖掘一下自己谈的事，在对方看来，在对方的角度和对方的文化中，怎么样看，如何处理？这样，才能再沟通中传播和学习；

Okay

Take care and Good luck

Eric
