[思路]

第一段说明学生的运动目的各有不同；

第二段详细陈述两种不同的观点；

第三段提出自己的观点：运动既要有兴趣还要兼顾健康。

4.AThank-youLetterJune19th[l]DearSirorMadam[2]OnbehalfoftheStudentUnionofouruniversityIsincerelythankXcompanyAThank-youLetterJune,19th[l]DearSirorMadam,[2]OnbehalfoftheStudentUnionofouruniversity,IsincerelythankXcompany解析：这篇作文属于应用文写作。在写信的时候，首先必须把自己置于相关的情境中：明白写信人(“我”)是谁，收信人(“你”)是谁，二者关系如何，写这封信的目的是什么。在此基础上，再根据outline的要求考虑如何把相关信息融入信中。这样的信，才能得体。

以本作文为例，我们可以判断：①写信人是代表学生会动笔的，不应看做私人信件。这种信可以用DearSirorMadam作抬头，也可以直接称呼对方DearMr.Smith之类(当然可以假定写信人是认识对方X公司的经理或老总的了)。落款则应写自己的名字。②写信的目的有两个，首先是感谢对方的赞助(送礼也是表示谢意的方式)，其次是表达良好的祝愿。要辨明重点，应该以表示谢意为主，祝愿的内容只需最后简短表示即可。③学生会这样的学生团体如果要给赞助过自己的企业表示感谢，应该会送什么礼物呢?outline没有明确说明，需考生没身处地杜撰一个——这是本作文题的难点!绝不能太贵；一定要有纪念意义；该礼品注重精神价值而非物质价值；该礼品应该可以为公司收藏，可以放入公司“陈列室”里。从这些要求出发设想一个礼品出来吧!范文用记录足球赛颁奖典礼的DVD作礼品，就很好，很得体。(此外还可以考虑送什么礼物呢?书画作品、相册、都可以吧!)

Analysis

[1]这是公函的格式。

[2]把outline的第1点开门见山说出来。应用文忌套话空话，直接点题是最好的办法。注意“代表……表示感谢”的说法。

[3]写信时的必背句型。无论求职求学还是别的场合，都有可能需要随信附送别的文件/物件之类，就要用到attached/enclosedpleasefind…。

[4]说明送礼意图。remembrance，用得好。此处也可以用gift等。

[5]对礼物的含义加以说明是必要的。下面的几句话都是说明该礼物与公司赞助的活动之间的关系的。

[6]再次表示感谢。

[7]紧扣outline的第3点。表示祝愿。注意文中“感谢”的表达方法：thank,gratitude，appreciate。词语富于变化才能显得有文采。
