Dear Professor Williams,
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to address the international students on Chinese culture. I would be more than happy to accept the invitation to discuss this matter further in the seminar.
The key points of the presentation will focus primarily on the ancient origins of Chinese culture and how they have shaped the contemporary cultural context. Besides, I will be discussing the social etiquette for foreigners in order to provide an open-minded understanding of international variances and standards within China compared to western nations.
Thank you again for the opportunity and I will do my best to provide a wonderful presentation contingent upon your highest institutional standards.
Sincerely yours,
Li Ming
本题需要大家写的是一封回信，围绕的主题是文化。往年出题一般是 Write a letter/email to…， 而 2017 年考查的是 Write a reply to …， 因此考生还是需要认真审题。从这一年的题目来看，研究生考试并不排斥考查热点，粉笔考研建议考生在备考期间，要持续关注时事热点，尤其是并不容易猜到的次热点。
本题题干主要内容为：假设威廉姆斯教授（Professor Williams） 邀请你给国际学生做一个关于中国文化的演讲（presentation）。 现写一封回信 ：第一，接受邀请；第二，介绍你演讲的要点。
本文的写作思路应当包含以下三个方面：第一，表示对邀请的感谢；第二，介绍演讲的要点（中国文化）；第三，再次表示感谢并承诺会准时到达等。粉笔考研温馨提示：对于书信类应用文，一定要注意格式，开头与落款都不能少。
