How to Collct Stamps

Jan.18,1998

Dar Tom,

I＇m vry gladto know you ar intrstd in stamps and ar starting to collct thm now.

You ar asking for advic on stamp-collcting. I think first you should collct as many stamps as you can and trad th stamps you don＇t want with othr popl. I don＇t think you should collct th nvlop unlss it is unusual or it is a“first day covr”. Thn you hav to dcid whthr you want to collct a crtain kind of stamp, such as stamps with a bird dsign. You＇d bttr join a group. Othr popl will hlp you larn mor about stamps and thy will soon trad stamps with you. Hav you thought of going to stamp sals and buy whatvr you can afford? But at th bginning, you should buy usd stamps.

Stamp-collcting is fun and you may njoy th unusual and bautiful dsigns of stamps.

Good luck!

Lov,

Uncl Frd

【写法指要】

这封信写得很圆满。像一篇短文一样，有引言段、扩充段和结尾段。在扩充段中有主题句和铺垫部分：第一句是主题句，其中“stamp-collcting”是王题，“advic”是制约思想；铺垫部分围绕制约思想写了三层意思，第一层意思以“first”为标记，第二层意思以“Thn”开头，第三层意思以问句“Hav you thought of…?”启发对方。这样，Uncl Frd就为Tom提供了三条集邮的建议供其参考。在结尾段里，作者指出集邮的好处。
