Dear Sir,
I saw your advertisement for "the perfect lighter" in Sunday Times last week and immediately sent off a ￡2 postal order and the completed form for the lighter.
Imagine my surprise when all I got in return was a box of matches! I could understand a mistake. I might even pardon a joke. But in this case, your advertisement is a deliberate lie since a friend of mine who also sent the coupon got the same result.
I think it's a shame to promise an economical lighter when in fact you are not selling a lighter a1 all. Instead of saying it works quickly, you should admit that you are offering matches. And what about "only" ￡2: I usually pay 10 pennies for a box of matches, and they are often given away free.
I regard your advertisement as a serious deception and demand that you send me my money back immediately. Otherwise I will take active steps to make sure the Consumers' Association hear about it.
Yours faithfully,
Peter Li

Dear Sir,
Dear Ann,
Thank you for your letter. I’m glad you like your school.
I go to school from Monday to Friday. We have four classes in the morning and two classes in the afternoon. We have many things to do after class. On Monday and Thursday afternoon we have sports. On Tuesday afternoon some of us have a singing class and on Wednesday afternoon we practise speaking English. My classmates are very friendly. We learn each other and help each other.
On Saturdays and Sundays I don’t go to school. Very often I go to the parks and have a good time with my family there.
Yours,

Dear Zhang Hui,
I have received your letter of August 15. I’m surprised to learn that you have lost heart in your English and that you want to give it up.
In my opinion, English is an important subject for us middle school students. It’s wrong for you to give it up. I hope you’ll go on studying English. You should have more confidence and when you are learning a language you will make mistakes, this is part of learning. Where there is a will, there is a way. Besides, you must develop a good way of learning. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask your teacher for help. I’m sure you’ll make great progress in your English very soon.
Yours,
Zhou Hai
Dear Mum,
How are you? I haven' t seen you since you left for Beijing.I miss you very much.
I' m proud of you as you are fighting against SARS.
I' m OK now. When my teachers and classmates know you are taking care of the SARS patients in Beijing, they look after me well. Every day the teacher phones me and asks me about my temperature. My classmates often ask me if I need help.
Every morning I get up early and go out for exercises. After breakfast I watch TV. There are teachers giving us lessons on it.In the afternoon I do my homework. When I have some questions,I can telephone my teacher or my classmates. They can give me answers. Mum, take care of yourself. I expect you to come back soon. Yours,

亲爱的小倩姐，小琳姐：
展信快乐！
我走后，你们都要好好的。
不哭，要知道，你们笑一次，我会高兴好几天；哭一次，我却要伤心好几年。你们要很快地忘了我噢！因为你们都不是寂寞的小孩，只有寂寞的小孩才会躲在角落里忧伤地牢牢细数每一个出现在自己生命里的身影。
不要失落，记得永远爱这个世界。要明白，不是因为住在象牙塔才说出我爱世界这种话；而是看尽了世界的黑暗丑陋后，还大声说出它。也千万不要为了迎合这个世界，而改变自己，不要信奉野蛮才是王道，像老赵说的，让淑女变成了贬义词。
小琳姐，每天要好好吃饭，才有力气一二一大步向前方迈进，不要蠢到去减肥，但是要适量运动。不要学会无病呻吟，不要太情绪化，致使你讨厌的人也讨厌你；不要让你的梦占据了生命的全部，也不要让它少与50%。
小倩姐，每个周末，看连续剧不要太久，你知道电脑对眼睛的伤害；上帝给你一双眼睛，并不想让你用两块厚玻璃遮住。面对别人的要求，无论对方笑得多灿烂，哭得多狼狈，只要你自己不乐意，那么就拒绝他(她)吧！
亲爱的，谢谢你们照顾我，并且一直都那么迁就我
可是，对不起！小倩姐，我不应该为了一小盒饼干就大发脾气，还很久不搭理你；我不应该让每天理所当然地等我；我不应该明知道你怕鸡，还死命把你往市场里拖对不起！小琳姐，我不应该为了你一句不要对我太好了，分别时会舍不得，然后就真的对你不冷不热，我真不应该
最后一次了，小琳姐，小倩姐，谢谢你们陪我哭过笑过，谢谢你们曾那么了解我。记得好好的！
我走了，记得不要任何人再伤害你们第二次，包括我。
My dear little sister sister Lynn Xiaoqian:
Happy show!
You all have to be good after I go.
Do not cry, you know, you laugh once, I will be happy for a few days; crying once, I will be sad for several years. You have to forget me soon! Because you are not lonely children, only the lonely child will hide in the corner and count each of the figures that appear in their own life.
Don't lose, remember to love the world forever. To understand, not because I live in the ivory tower to say I love the world, but to see the dark and ugliness of the world, and to say it aloud. Don't be in order to cater to the world, change yourself, don't believe the savage is king, like Zhao said, let the lady into a derogatory term.
Xiao Lin, to have a good meal every day, only have the strength of 121 strides forward, do not be stupid to lose weight, but to exercise. We do not learn, do not be too emotional, that you hate people hate you; don't let your dreams occupy the whole life, don't let it less than 50%.
Her sister, every weekend, watching TV not too long, you know computer damage to the eyes; God give you a pair of eyes, do not want to let you covered with two pieces of thick glass. Face the demands of others, no matter how bright the other person laughs, cry more embarrassed, so long as you are not willing, then refuse him (her).
Dear, thank you for taking care of me and all the time.
But, I'm sorry! Xiaoqian sister, I should not be in a box of biscuits on the big temper, a long time not talking to you; I should not let every day I behoove I should not know; you are afraid of chicken, also take you to the market pulled desperately sorry! Little sister Lynn, I should not be to you a not too good for me, when will bear, then really for you I really should not be neither hot nor cold.
The last time, little sister Lynn, two elder sister, thank you laughed and cried with me, thank you ever know me. Remember well!
I've gone, remember no one to hurt you second times, including me.

Dear Zhao Tao,
I’ve been in Beijing for several days. I miss you very much. Does everything go well at home? Now let me tell you something about Beijing.
Beijing, our capital, is a very beautiful city. There are too many people, cars and big buildings in Beijing. There are all kinds of shops. They sell all kinds of things. There are lots of places of great interest. Now it’s the best time to visit Beijing. Too many travellers have come here.
Yesterday my father and I visited the Great Wall. How great! I was very excited when I saw the Great Wall. We took lots of photos. I saw lots of foreigners, they’re very interesting. We enjoyed ourselves very much there.
Zhao Tao, have you finished your lessons? I’m going home soon.
Please tell my mother not to worry about us.
Yours,

亲爱的迪克，
非常高兴能够收到你的回信。你想知道关于中国学校的事情。自从我们呼吁减负以来，学校在这方面有了许多改善。我不知道其他学生，但是我以前会在周末上课，还要写写不完的作业。如今，我有了更多的业余时间。我可以做一些我感兴趣的事情，例如读书、参观博物馆、上电脑课。晚上，我可以在电视上看新闻，或是读报纸。更重要的是，我可以早些睡觉。我对现在的安排非常满意。
祝好，
敬礼!

Dear Sir,
I was very interested in your advertisement in today's edition of The Evening Post and I should like to apply to be a member of the Amazon Expedition team.
I am twenty-three years old and have an honors degree in Botany from Bath University. Since leaving university I have been working in a research laboratory but my contract comes to an end in six weeks. I would particularly like to join the expedition for the opportunity it would give me to study the plant life of the area.
I enjoy several outdoor activities including rowing and rock climbing and I consider myself to be both fit and healthy enough to undertake such an expedition.
If you would like me to attend an interview, I would be able to come at any time convenient to you, (J1) my employers have agreed to give me time off for the purpose.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,

秋季，是最美好的季节，最诗意的季节，也是最悲戚的季节。遥想那个微风与落叶并存的秋，遥想那个菊花盛开而又哀伤的秋。浮现在我眼前的竟是你的音容笑貌，你的点点滴滴。
你最喜欢的花是菊花。你说菊花是有着高尚的气节的，她是清高而又孤独的。记得那时的我还是十分好奇的凑近你，笑嘻嘻的反驳你。你只是微笑着，目光似是透过我看向远方：傻丫头，她才是最清高，最孤独的呢。只是当时我的真的很愚蠢，不明白你的悲戚，你的伤怀，只是更好奇的凑近你：为什么呀，为什么呀？你的目光渐渐的收起。一手将我的头推开，你嬉皮笑脸的对我说：呵，你太笨了，不明白的。一番打闹后，我们又谈起了菊。从不是花中偏爱菊，此花开尽更无花，到轻肌弱骨散幽葩，更将金蕊泛流霞，从秋满篱根始见花，却从冷淡遇繁华，到采菊东篱下，悠然见南山。我才惊觉，你是如此的爱菊，关于菊的一切的一切，你都铭记在心，似乎你和菊是一体的。
一天又一天，秋风已经不是微凉的了，而是掺杂着微微的寒意。是谁让风舞我沁凉的袖，让这点点的凉，穿透衣裳，寒透所有的过往。大概就是这样的吧。
冬季初到却已是漫天飞雪，我和你一同走在晶莹的道路上，不时的小跑，溜冰。只是我万万没有想到，因为我的贪玩，我的淘气便使你的生命从此不再绚烂多彩，而是在一滩血色中归于寂静，从此永驻于石碑之上。
直至在你生命的最后一瞬间，直至你的母亲匆忙赶来，直至我看到你家的破败后，我才真正的了解到，菊果真是清高而又孤独的。而你就是菊，是高尚的菊，是清高的菊，是孤独的菊，是美丽的菊
如今的秋季依然美丽而哀伤，菊花依旧缤纷而悲戚，不同的是，这世上只徒留我一人在低语，呢喃。
Autumn is the most beautiful season, the most poetic season, is also the most sad season. Imagine that the breeze and autumn leaves coexist, thinking of the chrysanthemum in full bloom and sad autumn. In front of me was your voice and expression, you bit by bit.
Your favorite flower is chrysanthemum. You said there is a chrysanthemum noble, she is aloof and lonely. I remember when I was very curious about you, laughing and refuting you. You just smile, eyes through I look into the distance: silly girl, she is the most lofty, the most lonely. I was really stupid, don't understand your sadness, your sad, just curious to you: why, why? Your eyes are getting back. A hand pushed my head, you said to me: "Oh, you are very stupid, do not understand. After a lot of fun, we talked about the chrysanthemum. Not from the preference chrysanthemum flowers, the flowers do not flower, to light muscle weak bone powder and PA, but the golden pan Rui Liu Xia, from the beginning to see full autumn hedgerow root flowers, but from the cold in the bustling, to picking a chrysanthemum, leisurely to see the mountain. I was shocked, you are so Aiju, everything about chrysanthemum everything, you have in mind, it seems you and the chrysanthemum is one of the.
Day after day, autumn is not cool, but with a slight chill. Who let the wind dance my cool sleeves, let this little cool, penetrate clothes, cold through all the past. That's about it.
At the beginning of winter to have snow all over the sky, you and I walk together in the crystal on the road, from time to time to trot, skating. But I never thought that, because my playfulness, my naughty life will no longer make you colorful, but in a pool of blood and return to silence, and will always be on the stone tablet.
Until the last moment of your life, until your mother came in a hurry, till I see you broken home, I really understand that it is aloof and lonely. You are a noble chrysanthemum, chrysanthemum, chrysanthemum is lofty, is lonely chrysanthemum, beautiful chrysanthemum
Now the autumn chrysanthemum is still beautiful and sad, colorful and sad, is different, this world only Tuliu I whisper in a whisper.

Dear Mr. Seaton，
Thank you very much for taking me with you on that splendid outing to London. It was the first time that I had seen the Tower or any of the other famous sights. If I'd gone alone, I couldn't have seen nearly as much, because I wouldn't have known my way about.
The weather was splendid on that day, which I thought was rare. I still remember some people told me that in Britain there was weather and no climate. During the same day, it might snow in the morning, rain at noon, shine in the afternoon and be windy before the night falls. So I think I was lucky.
I think the river trip was the best thing of all. London really came alive for me as we saw it from the Thames during that wonderful journey down to Greenwich. It was all tremendously exciting － a day that I shall never forget.
Thank you for giving me such a great birthday treat.
Yours sincerely,
Linda Chen
Dear Editor-in-Chief,
Congratulations on the 5th anniversary of Global Mirror!
I’m a regular reader of your newspaper. I like it so much that I hardly miss any copy.
There are many advantages of Global Mirror. Firstly, Global Mirror covers both national and international news. By simply turning the pages, I can know all important things that have happened both home and abroad. Besides, the success stories of world-famous people are also attractive to me, which help me learn a lot from them. In a word, thanks to Global Mirror, we are well-informed and keep up with the changing world.
As a young student, I wish that I can be a master of English language. Therefore, I suggest that Global Mirror provide articles about English learning for us.
Finally, I hope that Global Mirror will become more and more popular. Thank you for your time!
Sincerely yours,
Li Hua

Dear parents,
How are you? How time flies! I’ve been in Yunnan for nearly half a month.
All is beautiful here and so are the people. All the year is just like spring, and there are flowers of friendship here and there.
Here’s a big family and we are brothers and sisters. They take good care of me, for they are afraid it can’t fit a friend from the Northeast. So I’m very happy here and you needn’t worry.
Hope you come and visit here after farm work.
Yours loving,

Dear Sue,
I’m Li Hua, one of your students in China. It’s almost a month since you left us. We all miss you and are very grateful for what you did for us.
We are busy as usual. We had an English speech contest the other day. I won the first prize! This again reminds me of all your kind help. Do you still remember the trees we planted together on the hill behind the school? Yesterday, we went there and watered them. The tree you planted yourself is growing well, and the whole class decided to name it Sue Wood. Will you come back to see Sue Wood?
How is everything with you lately? We hope to know more about you and your American students. Hope to keep in close touch.
All the best.

Dear Mr/Ms,
As our telephone negotiation this morning was very brief and proceeded so smoothly, I thought it might be advisable to summarize the agreement:
I offered US$56/kg CIF EMP
You asked for US$60
I countered US$58/kg
You accepted the figure
I look forward to signing the contract when we meet next week.
Yours faithfully
假设你叫王明，昨天收到了笔友David的e-mail，得知他不久要到北京来学习中文。他想了解如何学好中文。请你用英文给他回复一封e-mail，介绍学习中文的体会和方法，提出你的建议，以及表达你帮助他学好中文的愿望。
例文：
Dear David,
I'm glad you'll come to Beijing to learn Chinese. Chinese is very useful, and many foreigners are learning it now. It's difficult for you because it's quite different from English. You have to remember as many Chinese words as possible. It's also important to do some reading and writing. You can watch TV and listen to the radio to practise your listening. Do your best to talk with people in Chinese. You can learn Chinese not only from books but also from people around you. If you have any questions, please ask me. I'm sure you'll learn Chinese well.
Hope to see you soon in Beijing.
Yours,
Wang Ming
Dear Mr. President,
I am writing to express my concerns over the library service on the campus.
As a major in English, I find that most of the books in English in the library are outdated. So far, I have not come across a single book published after 1995. As a result, we fail to get the latest information of academic development both at home and abroad. In addition, the light in the reading room is far from bright, which does harm to our eyes. Worse still,there is no air-conditioning and we are sweating heavily while reading. Last but not least, the newly developed electronic information system does not work well and needs further improvement. A great number of books should have been listed in the system.
There is no denying that the library has helped us a lot. But it is in urgent need of improvement. When improved, the library is certain to provide much more help with our study. Thank you for your time. I am looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Qiang
Dear Mr Smith,
I was so pleased to hear from you and I am writing to tell you something about my school.

On the other side,where the playground used to be,now stands another new building-our library.In it there are all kinds of books,newspapers and magazines.The playground is now in front of the school.We have also planted a lot of trees in and around the school.I hope you come and see for yourself some day.
Best wishes,
