範文賞析與建議​

以下範文獲得C1，範文末附上具體賞析（請見標號1-3）；另，也提供調整建議，以利全篇文章更為流暢（請見標號4）。​​

Dear Administrator,​
➊I am writing to express my gratitude for the opening of the new food court on campus, and one suggestion for improvement.​​
➋The opening of the new food court is definitely a great addition to the university and for students and staff to get food with convenience. It also increases the food choices available on campus and reduces the waiting time during lunch hours. ➍A big thanks to the school administrator for the effort. ➌While the new food court is quite small, there are two tea shops, which might be an over-supply. If I may make a suggestion, I would recommend changing one of the tea shops to another restaurant when the next opportunity opens. That will make an even better combination of available foods. Once again, thanks for the arrangements for the new food court.​
​
Sincerely,​
Lynn Pan​​
