给美国朋友Tom的回信
假设你是新华中学的学生李华，你的美国朋友Tom一周前给你发电子邮件，询问你暑假里的打算，但你因准备期末考试未能及时回复。请根据以下要点给他回邮件：
1. 未及时回复的原因；
2. 你假期的打算。
注意： 1. 字数：120~150；
2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。
【试题点评】
今年的书面表达题目延续山东省一贯的提纲作文命题习惯，时隔一年之后重新回到书信题的大框架中，考了一篇以道歉信为外衣，以活动安排为主体段的提纲作文，相当于10年山东卷和07年四川卷和合体。这种作文是我们平时经常练习的，因此套路很完善、套话很丰富。此外，本文中需要同学们翻译的难句不多，因此，只要在备考过程中有意识地了解过高考英语作文的提分方法，掌握了常用的亮点词汇、加分句型和过渡词，并加以针对性训练，这道题目应该不难写。
【经典套路】
第一段：问候+写信背景+写信目的
第二段：道歉部分
第三段：假期安排部分
第四段：补充说明+客套话

Dear Tom,
How are you doing? (问候) You asked me in your last letter about my plan for the coming summer vacation. I am sorry that I didnt reply without delay.
How I wish I would read and reply your email as soon as I received it. However, I was busy preparing for my final exam at that time, which is vital for me. As a result, I had no choice but to completely focus on my study. I believe that if you were me, you would make the same choice.
By the way, I have a busy schedule for my summer vacation. First and foremost, I would do a part time job, so that my interpersonal skills would be improved. Additionally, I will take a short trip to Beijing to take a summer course in the New Oriental School. Last but not least, maybe I will work as a volunteer for the school as a teaching assistant.
These are my plan for the summer vacation. Whats yours? I am looking forward to your earliest reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
亲爱的汤姆，

你怎么样？你在的最后一封中问我我的暑假计划。我很抱歉，我没有立即回复。

我多么希望我能阅读并回复你的邮件，当我收到它的时候。然而，我正忙着准备在那次考试，这对我来说很重要。结果，我只好完全专注于我的学习。我相信，如果你是我，你会做出同样的选择。

顺便说一下，我的暑假很忙。首先，我会做一份兼职的工作，这样我的人际交往能力会得到提高。此外，我会做个短途旅行去北京新东方学校参加暑期课程。最后但并非最不重要的，也许我会作为一个志愿者参加工作，在学校当助教。
These are my plan for the summer vacation. Whats yours? I am looking forward to your earliest reply.
这是我的暑假计划。你的是什么？我期待着你的早日答复。
美好的祝愿，
李华
