You would like me to tell you something about California, so now I am writing to you. California, the third largest state in size in the USA with a population of about 38 million, is located in the west of the United States on the Pacific in the west. It is said that the first settlers were Indians who got there 15，000 years ago and only in the 16th century did Europeans come to settle. ;In the 19th century, people from all over the world came rushing into California with the dream of becoming rich. It is believed that in the future more people, attracted by the climate and lifestyle, will keep immigrating to California. As for language, 58% of Californians speak English as their native language, while the others speak other languages. If you want to know more, you may go to http：///wiki/California#History. Best wishes to you. Yours ever， Li Hua;—— 名 师 点 睛 —— 1．行文逻辑：写信目的→情况简介→信息渠道。 2．词汇短语：运用了较高级的词汇和短语。如：in size，with a population of(有……人口)，as for(关于，至于)等。;　 3．句式句法：运用了多样化的句式结构。如：①it作形式主语的主语从句：It is said that the first settlers…， It is believed that in the future more people…；②定语从 句：who got there 15，000 years ago；③部分倒装结构：only in the 16th century did Europeans come to settle； ④非谓语动词短语：attracted by the climate and lifestyle;⑤while连接的并列句：As for language, 58% of Californians speak English as their native language, while the others…；⑥状语从句：If you want to know more…/等。;Ⅰ.单词荟萃 1．________ adj. 清晰的；明显的；明确的→_________n. 差别； 区分；卓著 2．________ n．手段；方法→________v．意思是；打算;意味着→________n．意思，意义→_____________ adj.有意义的→______________adj.无意义的 3．________n．大多数；大半→________ adj.主要的，最重要的→________n．少数；少数民族 4．____________ n．百分比；百分率→________n．百分之几 5．________vt.指出；标示；表明；暗示→___________ n. 象征；标示；表明；暗示;6．________ adj.人种的；种族的→________ n．种族；比赛 7．________n.申请人→________v.申请；应用→_____________n．申请；应用 8．________ n. 社会主义者；社会党人a
