學語言:
1.第一段中使用了You wrote that ...; I understand quite well that ...; You think that ...,由此可以看出,作者在建議信的開頭,語氣比較委婉禮貌,三個賓語從句的使用展現了作者的語言功底。
2.第一段中的anxious與terrible突出表現了對方的擔憂心情。
3.第二段中表達建議的句式:
(1)I recommend that you talk to your friend about his behaviour.
(2)I think you should encourage your friend to try new hobbies.
(3)Why not discuss the problem together
4.第二段中運用it作形式主語(It is not unusual ...to be attracted ...);動詞-ing短語作主語(spending too much time online is ...);it作形式賓語(...makes it very difficult to focus on ...),顯示了作者較強的語言運用能力。
5.第二段中focus on, become addicted to, concentrate on等詞匯生動地說明了花太多時間上網的危害。
學結構:
　　正文分為兩段:第一段回應對方的問題;第二段說明了網癮的害處,并提出解決問題的建議。
