【分析】本篇书面表达属于应用文，要求考生写一封慰问信，表达对朋友的关心和帮助。
范文内容完整，要点全面，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系。作者在范文中使用了较多主从复合句，如：I’m awfully sorry to hear that a horrible and severe hurricane unexpectedly hit your hometown and caused a great loss.这句话运用了宾语从句。Shocked to learn the terrible news, I feel upset about your suffering.和Thinking about your present situation, I feel sincere pity for you,运用了非谓语动词作状语；Though sorrowful, you have to be tough to stand up to any bad conditions.和If necessary, I will call on my classmates to make a donation to you to help you go through the difficultly.运用了状语从句的省略。使用了一些固定词组，如get through, bring about等。全文中没有中国式英语的句式，显示了很高的驾驭英语的能力。另外，文章思路清晰、层次分明，上下句转换自然，为文章增色添彩。
