试题分析：
2019年连续两次出现应用文，这可能让长期将备考重点放在议论文上的同学茫然无措。所以备考时应全面掌握各种文体的写法。
此次作文考题与2014年6月类似，要求考生向外国朋友推荐一处学习英语的地方。全文可按如下思路完成。第一段：对于外国朋友的想法表示赞同，并标明写信目的。第二段：举出推荐城市，并简单说明理由，理由要具体，清晰。第三段：表示希望对方采纳意见，并祝愿。
另外要注意书信格式。
参考范文如下，同学们可以根据自身情况选择采纳。

中国汉族人的全名由姓和名组成。中文姓名的特点是，姓总是在前，名跟在其后，千百年来，父姓一直世代相传。然而，如今，孩子跟母亲姓并不罕见。一般来说，名有一个或两个汉字，通常承载父母对孩子的愿望。从孩子的名字可以推断出父母希望孩子成为什么样的人，或者预期他们过什么样的生活。父母非常重视给孩子取名，因为名字往往会伴随孩子一生。
