One possible version:
Dear Bob,
I'm writing in the hope that you will be kind enough to do me a favor. When it comes
to papercutting,there is no denying that it enjoys a great reputation in my hometown.For a long time I have been longing to write an appealing article to make it better known.However,only when I put the idea into practice did I find that my English is far from satisfaction.
As far as I'm concerned,you have a good command of written English,which impresses me a lot.Would you like to do me a favor to have my draft polished?I will pay you a visit at your earliest convenience.
I would appreciate it if you could take my request into consideration.
Yours, Li Hua
【如何充实核心】
1.交叉使用长句与短句
在英语写作中,过多地使用长句或过多地使用短句都不好。正确的做法是,根据实际情况在文章中交替使用长句与短句,使文章显得错落有致,这样不仅使文章在形式上增加美感,而且使文章读起来铿锵有力。
【典例】中午我们晒着太阳吃野餐。休息一会儿后,我们唱 歌的唱歌,跳舞的跳舞,还有的讲故事、下棋,大家玩得很开心。
一般句:
At noon we had a picnic in the sunshine. Then we had a short rest. Then we began to play happily. We sang and danced. Some told stories. Some played chess.
优秀句:
At noon we had a picnic in the sunshine. After a short rest,we had great fun singing and dancing,telling stories and playing chess.

2.避免同一词语的重复使用
为了使文章更生动、更富表现力,同学们在写作时应尽量避免重复使用同一词语来表示同一意思,尤其是一些老生常谈的词语。如有的同学一看到“喜欢”二字,就会立刻想起 like,事实上,英语中类似意思的词和短语很多,如 love,enjoy,prefer,appreciate,be fond of,care for 等。
【典例】我喜欢读书,而我的弟弟喜欢看电视。 一般句:
I like reading while my brother likes watching television. 优秀句:
I like reading while my brother enjoys watching television. 3.适当使用短语代替单词 【典例】他已决定长大了当老师。 一般句:
He has decided to be a teacher when he grows up. 优秀句:
He has made up his mind to be a teacher when he grows up. 4.恰当套用某些固定表达方式
【典例 1】他太累了,不能再往前走了。 一般句:
He was very tired. He couldn't walk any further. 优秀句:
He was too tired to walk any further.
【典例 2】生活中总有一些充满挑战性的事情。除了面对我 们别无选择。
There is always something challenging in our life. We have no choice but to face it. 5.灵活改变句子开头
在通常情况下,英语句子的排列方式为“主语+谓语+宾
语”,即主语位于句子开头。若根据情况适当改变句子的开头方式,比如使用倒装语序或以状语开头等,就会增强文章的表现力。
【典例】直到那时,我才意识到言语在积极方面和消极方面 都那么有影响力。

一般句:
I didn't realize words could be so powerful in both positive and negative ways until then.
优秀句:
Not until then did I realize words could be so powerful in both positive and negative ways.
6.适当运用非谓语结构
非谓语结构通常被认为是一种高级结构,适当运用非谓语结 构,会给人一种熟练驾驭语言的印象。
【典例】听到这个消息他们都高兴得跳了起来。 一般句:
When they heard the news,they all jumped with joy. 优秀句:
Hearing the news,they all jumped with joy. 【举一反三】
(1)惊诧于他们的熟练程度,我决心要像他们一样好。
Because I was amazed at how skillful they were,I determined to be just as good. 用过去分词作状语将其转换为→Amazed at how skillful they were,I determined to be just as good.
(2)看到一辆车朝她飞驰而来,我伸出手把她拉了回来。
When I saw a car running towards her,I reached my hand out and pulled her back. 用现在分词作状语将其转换为→Seeing a car running towards her,I reached my hand out and pulled her back.
(3) 这里曾有一家生产化肥的工厂。它每天释放出大量有毒气 体,污染环境。
There was a factory here,which produced fertlizer. Every day it gave out a lot of poisonous gas,which polluted the environment.
将第二个定语从句转换为现在分词短语→There was a factory
here,which produced fertilizer. Every day it gave out a lot of poisonous gas,polluting the environment.

7.合理安排句型
注意把意思相近、相似、互为补充的句子合为一个复杂句,使重点突出,并且要明确内在的逻辑关系。
一般句:
When it is my birthday,my mother will cook some dishes to celebrate my birthday,or she will give me some money to buy whatever I want.
优秀句:
To celebrate my birthday,mother always cooks some dishes or gives me some money to buy whatever I want.
改后的句子由两句变为一句,句意更易理解,逻辑更清楚。注意中文和英文两种语言结构上的差别。
(1)英文常用被动语态,而中文常用主动语态。 【典例】 明天讨论这个问题。
The problem will be discussed tomorrow.
(2)合理恰当地使用省略句,不仅可以使文章精炼、简洁,而 且会使文章更具文采和可读性。
【典例】 他可能很忙,要是这样,我以后再来拜访。要是不 忙,我现在可以见他吗?
一般句:
He may be busy. If he is busy,I will call later. If he is not busy,can I see him now? 优秀句:
He may be busy. If so,I will call later. If not,can I see him now? (3)恰当运用各种从句
【典例 1】如果他们在考试中经常作弊,他们就会养成一个 坏习惯,这将会对他们的生活产生坏的影响。
If they often cheat in the exams,they will develop a bad habit, and it will have a bad effect on their life. →If they often cheat in the exams,they will develop a bad habit, which will have a bad effect on their life.
【典例 2】这正是我所想要的。
It is just the thing I prefer. →It is just what I prefer.
