Dear Mr. John,
How are you getting on in Beijing?
I am writing to tell you a piece of good news. I am the champion of the Spoken English Competition held in the city. The success is owed to your help. Before you went to Beijing you spent much time on my spoken English so that I made great progress in it. As a result I got the first place in the competition. Thanks a lot.
I heard that you and your wife would visit my school. I am very happy and expect to see you soon. I am sending you a telescope as a small gift. I hope you will like it.
Best wishes.
Yours,Liu Jie

Dear ,
How are you? It has been a long time since we last contacted each other.
How are you doing in University? Is it stressful? Mine is great. I feel more relaxed and we have more freedom now.
Next month, we will be holding a New Year celebration, which will also be our class reunion. I really hope that you will be able to attend. It will be a great chance for us to catch up with one another and I believe we will have a great time.
I will be anticipating you reply! Hope to see you soon.

Dear dad and mum,
I have been very happy in the school. Sometimes, at night I cry in the bed because I miss you very much. You always say “Learn well and I will be happy.” So I work hard in the school every day. After class I play with my classmates. We skip rope, play cards and ball and so on. I spend a lot of time doing my homework. After lunch we have to do Kumon. When I finish, I play Pingpong with my friends. Then I spend some time reading my English notes. At six o’clock I have my evening class. Then I have my evening snack at twenty past seven. After that, I have some free time. At eight o’clock, I go to bed. This is a day in the school. Mum, you always tell me “Happiness is very important in our life.” So I want to be happy every day. If you are not happy, call me please.
Yours,
Laura

Dear Sir or Madam,
In an advertisement I know that your company is in need of a secretary. I would like to apply for the job.
I am a student of business management in Xiamen University. My name is Li Min. I am twenty-three years old and will graduate this summer.I am able to operate computer skillfully. I think this is very important for office work. I have learned English for ten years. I am very good at English, so I have been an editor of my department's English Paper in the past two years. My grades are among the best ones in my department. Besides,I like office work very much and I can be competent in it. I will be quite appreciative if I am offered the opportunity.
Thank you for your consideration. I wish to get your answer soon.
Yours faithfullyLi Min
Dear Sirs：
Thank you for your letter of 20 January 20xx. We are disappointed to hear that our price for Flame cigarette lighters is too high for you to work on. You mention that Japanese goods are being offered to you at a price approximately 10% lower than that quoted by us.
We accept what you say， but we are of the opinion that the quality of the other makes does not measure up to that of our products.
Although we are keen to do business with you， we regret that we cannot accept your counter offer or even meet you half way.
The best we can do is to reduce our previous quotation by 2%. We trust that this will meet with your approval.We look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully，
Tony Smith Chief Seller
Dear Mum and Dad,
I'm writing to you in Beijing.
I'm very happy to visit Beijing again. To my surprise, GREat changes have taken place here recently.
Today I went to Wangfujing Street. Now the streets are cleaner and nicer than before. There are many flowers everywhere and there is a fine smell of the flowers in the air. There are more new buildings, modern shops and large markets in it. People in Beijing are happy. Everyone has a smile on the face.
I know they are working hard for the 20xx Olympics. I hope they will have a good luck.
Yours,
Jack
Dear Mr. John,
How are things going with you in Beijing?
I am writing to show my thanks to you. You tutored me in my spoken English before you went to Beijing. With your help I made such rapid progress that I won the first place in the Spoken English Competition of the city. My achievement is owed to your help. Thank you very much.
I have heard that you and your wife will pay a visit to my school. I am very glad at the news. In that case we can see each other again. I am looking forward to your coming. I am sending you a telescope as a small gift. I hope you will like it.
All the best.

Dear Mother,
How are you in Beijing? It has been ten days since you went to Beijing. I miss you very much. I know it is dangerous to take care of SARS patients, so I' m very worried about you. But I' m very- proud of you.
Don' t worry about me and my study. Every morning I get up early and do morning exercises for half an hour, and then I read English for twenty minutes. After breakfast at about eight I turn on TV and get ready for lessons on it. In the afternoon, I usually do my homework. Every day the teacher makes a call to me and asks me about my temperature. I think all the people around me are taking good care of me. I' m thankful.
Now the people in the country are fighting against SARS together. I believe we can win the war.
I wish you healthy! I' m expecting you to come back soon.
Yours,
Nannan
