经典英语作文

对于考硕、考博得考生老说，这是一篇经典的不能再经典的英语范文，值得我们深思领会基础上熟记。
其中，最后一句，包含了英语语法的“省略”。原文“the interest of not only the Chinese people but also in other parts of the world.”应该为“the interest of not only the Chinese people but also people in other parts of the world.”为了简洁，避免重复拖沓，“of”后面两个并列宾语the Chinese people和people in other parts of the world省去了后一个people.
2019年1月开始我恢复学习英语，从学习和背诵考研作文开始，曾经认为这是一处严重的语法错误，经过2年英语不断深化，查漏补缺，现在看来，这是一篇经典中的经典，必须背过，不可错过。
以下是作文的要求和原文：
介绍信
Directions: Write an email to a group of international students, and introduce one of the most famous Chinese celebrities.
经典范文
Dear Friends,
I am writing the email to introduce one of the most prestigious Chinese celebrities to you, Confucius.
Being a great thinker, educator and founder of Confucianism, Confucius is an ancient sage during the Spring and Autumn Period. His words and life story were recorded by his disciples and their students in The Analects. As an enduring classic of ancient Chinese culture, The Analects has influenced all thinkers, writers and politicians in the over-2000-year-long history of China after Confucius. No scholar could truly understand this long-standing culture or the inner world of the ancient Chinese without this book.
Much of Confucian thought on Heaven and people represents universal human values. This is perhaps why Confucian thought in the 21st century still remains the interest of not only the Chinese people but also in other parts of the world.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
