參考答案

習(xí)作修改

本篇寫的是李華寫信向Ms Jenkins求助，希望她能指點一下自己如何寫好申請書和個人簡歷。

1. written→writing 主語是I，主動發(fā)出動作，表明此時正在寫信，用writing。

2. the→ a 因do sb. a favor 為固定搭配，意為“幫某人一個忙”，故the改為a。

3. experiences→experience 因這里指獲得經(jīng)驗，experience意為“經(jīng)驗”時為不可數(shù)名詞，故沒有復(fù)數(shù)形式。

4. had→have 因本文為求助信，結(jié)合上下文此處時態(tài)應(yīng)為一般現(xiàn)在時，故改成have。

5. are→is 因此處主語是this，且結(jié)合上下文時態(tài)應(yīng)為一般現(xiàn)在時，故改成is。

6. or→and 因此處結(jié)合上下文應(yīng)該是指作者既寫了入職申請又寫了個人簡歷，故改為and。

7. 在pay attention后加to 因pay attention to為固定搭配，且前有其賓語anything，故加to。

8. hope→hoping 因此處為伴隨狀語，且hope與其邏輯主語I 是主動關(guān)系，故用hoping。

9. much去掉 因very副詞修飾形容詞grateful，無需再加much，故將其去掉。

10. real→really 應(yīng)該用副詞修飾形容詞thankful。
