一、邮件写作场景 你是 Li Ming,是家住北京的《经济学人》读者,一直喜欢《经济学人》的卡通。有一天你拿到新一期《经济学人》(如图) 封面故事是 Peak Valley: Why startups are going else where(注:大概意思是一直以来美国创业者会首选硅谷,但慢慢地他们都陆续离开硅谷了)。你一眼认出了上面的滑板男是 Peter Thiel(注:硅谷知名创业者、投资人、畅销书《从零到一》的作者),但很好奇前面踩电动滑板车的眼镜男是谁。你尝试了好多办法试图弄清楚眼镜男的身份,但一直没能成功。后来你找到了这幅漫画的作者 David Parkins 的个人网站,找到了他的个人电子邮箱。二、写作任务现在你需要向 David 写一封问询邮件。写作时:1)简要介绍自己,以及是怎样知道 David 的邮箱的2)清晰、简要描述这期《经济学人》封面,提出自己的困惑和问询内容 三、注意事项1)一定要有邮件标题2)仔细换位思考,看怎样写对方会更愿意回复你 3)不超过 130 个单词(含标点符号 字数122words 标题A question about your cartoon on the cover story of Economist P1: Dear David, I'm Li Ming from Beijing, a reader and big fan of Economist.
