写作1
Dear parents，
I know it's hard for you to accept the fact that your son has made it the first choice to go toQinghuaUniversity in Beijing for further study. For eighteen years you have looked after me with great care，and in your eyes I have always been a good boy who is willing to follow your advice. But this time I do hope you can allow me to make my own choice.
As is known to all，Qinghua is one of the best universities in China. It's a place where every young man in my age wishes to study. In addition，students who graduated from Qinghua have more chances to find good jobs. In this competitive society I expect I can prove myself an outstanding talent who can make better contributions to the country.
I know you are worried that I can't look after myself if I leave Shanghai. However，living independently will give me a chance to learn how to solve problems in my daily life and how to standon my own feet，which will benefit me in my future. Dear mom and dad，it is my hope that youwill understand me and support my decision.
Your son，
Xu Lu

Dear Editor，
I have lost a friend. He doesn't want to talk to me．When I asked him why，he said，
teacher came up to me and talked to me for a long time. He asked how many students in
our class like playing computer games. He listed four．Apart from me，two of them were
my friends. I didn't answer. In fact，I said nothing.
I tried my best to explain the whole thing to my friend，but he didn't believe
me．What shall I do?

Dear Shi Hui，
I feel sorry that your friend misunderstood you. I don't think you have done something wrong. When the teacher asked you about the list，you said nothing. It was obvious that the teacher already knew who were playing computer games. As I see it，it might have been quite all right even if you had said something. Maybe your friend played computer games too often. It's necessary for your teacher to know this and then do something to help him. At present，many students spend lots of time on computer games and it makes their studies get worse. That's
thereason why teachers are usually caring about this.
I suggest you have a heart-to-heart talk with your friend. He may be reasonable about this and you'll make friends again. If he goes on ignoring you，you might just wait and see. If he sticks to his own opinion，I think you won't feel regretful for losing a false friend.

Dear Mr. Liu，
I was astonished to learn that you were suffering from heart trouble. I imagine it's hard for an active man like you to stay in hospital. For many years，I know，you hoe been devoting all your energies to teaching. But you must remember that you are no longer young and have to take goodcare of yourself.
I haven't written to you for,a long time. The reason is that I've been busy with my studies“I'm now a Senior Three student. I expect to graduate with honors and enter into a famous university. My dear teacher, I was once. naughty boy in your class，but with your help and instruction I made great progress，and later was admitted into the best senior high school in the district. I'm determined to achieve new success in my study so as to repay you for your kindness.
Wish you a quick recovery.

作文4：一位研究生因乱穿马路被罚款, 但是她不接受处罚。这件事在报上刊登后引发了讨
论。看了报导后以“江涛”的名字给编辑写一封信，说明你的看法。信的开头如下：
Dear editor，
Passage 4
Dear editor,
After reading the article about the girl post-graduate who refused to pay the fine when she
was caught breaking the traffic rules, I really felt ashamed for her behavior. I’m writing to share my opinions with other readers.
It’s a common sense for us all that everybody should obey the traffic rules, let alone a post graduate like her. Having received high education, the girl should have realized it was her fault. However, she acted as if she didn’t have the least idea what to do and what not to do. It’s really a shame for her to do so. Of course it’s a little embarrassing for her to admit the mistake in public, but I believe if she could draw a lesson from the incident, she would never risk her life again.
So, for the sake of everybody’s safety, those who disobey traffic regulations should get punishment. (148)

作文5：你是学生会干部。发现许多学生倒掉学校午餐到校外购买小吃，于是在同学中做了调查。然后以学生会主席王海的名义给校长写了一封信，分析了原因并提出具体的建议。 Passage 5
Dear Principal,
Recently we noticed that many students didn’t have their lunch in the dining-room. Where
did they go? Later they told us that they just poured their food into the garbage and then went to buy some snacks at the nearby stands by the road. Afterwards, we made an investigation among all the students, through which we found that almost 70 percent of the students were complaining about the food our school provided, especially the taste.
Lunch is very important for students’ health, so measures must be taken to prevent such
things happening again. Our suggestion is that we’d better have a students meeting every week, listening to their advice. At the same time we should let them know eating snacks for lunch does no good to them. They need to have a balanced diet as they grow up. If necessary, our students’ union can collect the opinions and suggestions for school to help solve the problem. Would you please let us know your decision as soon as possible?
Thank you for your consideration! (175)
Yours sincerely,
作文6：以下是大明同学写给报纸编辑的一封信，。请以编辑的身份给他回一封信。
Dear editor，
I’m a high school student. My father was not satisfied with my performance on the college
entrance examination this year, but I did my best. Now I’m in school and preparing again for the exam. My father always thinks that I don’t study hard and spend too much time playing. Actually I study very hard. I want to tell him about this, but the generation gap between us prevents us from reaching an agreement. What’s more, teachers in school regard me as a bad boy because I am absent from some classes. I feel very sad. What should I do?
Yours,
Daming
Passage 6
Dear Daming,
Have you ever considered why your parents are not satisfied with your academic performance while you yourself think you are doing very well in your studies? According to what you said in your letter, there aremainly two reasons. It’s obvious that your failure in the college entrance examination disappointed your parents. Then your lack of communication prevents you from understanding each other. Do you agree?
My suggestion is that if you want to prove that you’re working very hard, you should show your school work to your parents, otherwise how could they believe that a boy who is often absent from classes is making every effort in school? Besides, talk with your parents and tell them your feelings and difficulties. The communication will narrow the generation gap and help your parents and teachers understand you better. I believe that they will certainly help you with your studies. Try and let me know whether it works. (156)

Dear Sandy，
Thank you very much for writing to me. You said you didn't study well and some of yourclassmates even didn't like to talk to you. It seems you are very sad and you lack the ability to dothings successfully. But as a matter of fact，what you lack is self-confidence. Madam Curie oncesaid，“Life is not easy for any one of us. We must work，and above all we must believe in ourselves.”So confidence is power一the power to attract，influence and succeed.
To build your confidence，you need to find happiness in yourself. Don't focus too much onwhat you want because the mind'creates reasons why you can't have it. This leads you to dwell onyour weaknesses. Try to set aside time each day to mentally list all good things about yourself.Believe that you can and will succeed. Learn to like yourself, and then others will like you，too.
In short，I believe self-confidence to be the most important factor in success. Rememberthis，and self-confidence can be yours. Take it and be happy！
Yours，
Editor

只有工作没有娱乐的家庭生活是不快乐的，所以写一封信给你的爸爸妈妈，建议他们放下工作，一家人一起放松心情。
Dad and Mum，
Maybe you are surprised when you get my email.I preferto communicate with you in thisway rather than talk to you face to face.
You usually work long hours and I have school onweekdays and have homework to do atnight. It seems that we aresobusy that we really haveno time to stay with each other even atweekends.But although we arein today's fast-paced world，I think you would agree that familiesneed timeout from work to relax. Taking a family vacation may help. Vacations can be a learningexperiencefor everyone. We can get a chance to try something new like traveling by sea，hikingin a mountain orexploring some interesting sites. It will be a time to get away from work，phone calls，etc. And this is a great opportunity for the whole family to spend time together and get a better understanding of each other. We'll have a lot of experiences and memories to share in our life.
Isn't it a good idea? Why not plan for a family vacation since the winter holiday is approaching? I love you，Dad. I love you，Mum. I do hope we can have more time to stay together

Dear Wang Ming,
I am sorry to find you are not happy these days. Seldom do I see smiles on your face. I am eager to share my opinion with you.
Since you are a newcomer here, you may feel it is not easy to be adapted to the new class. Teachers are teaching in the ways different from your former teachers. Classmates are chatting on topics not familiar to you. Thus you feel like an outsider. To tell you the truth, that was exactly what I felt when I came here one year ago. It’s quite natural.
I think it is due to your shyness. I find you are even more timid than I was. You seem to lack confidence in yourself, which makes you feel helpless and lonely.
Why not gather your courage and talk with us? Be more active and approachable. You may introduce your hometown to us, which will surely arouse our interests. Many classmates as well as I are members of “Bowling Club”, why not join us? If we can chat and play together, I am sure you will feel much better.
Don’t be depressed any more. I am willing to be your friend. So are many classmates. If you have any trouble in study or life, please turn to us for help. Smile every day, will you?
I will be looking forward to your reply!
Yours,
Chen Min
