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 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,
Li Hai

Dear Mary,
Thanks for your last letter. I'm so glad that you have been able (at last! ) to arrange a holiday in Australia. As I fear I won't be able to meet you at the airport when you arrive, nor will I be able to be home until later in the afternoon, so here are some instructions and suggestions.
There is a bus from the airport to the city. It is much cheaper than a cab. Take the bus to the city and ask to get off at Town Hall railway station.
To get to my place in the eastern suburbs you have three options. You can either take a cab, a bus or the train. I suggest you take the train, since the airport bus will leave you right at the station. Get off at Cliff Station. From there you can either walk to my place (about ten minutes) or take a taxi. Probably you should take a taxi as you will have luggage.
When you arrive at my flat, ring the intercom for Flat 2. My friend Lillian will be at home and she will open the front door for you and let you into my flat.
Presumably you will be tired and want to sleep. But if you feel like some exercise after that long flight, you could stroll down to Cooper Park, which is only ten minutes away ? you can see it from the window.
Cheers and looking forward to seeing you.
Yours sincerely,
Annie

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.
Yours

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 David,
Im glad youll come to Beijing to learn Chinese. Chinese is very useful, and many foreigners are learning it now. Its difficult for you because its quite different from English. You have to remember as many Chinese words as possible. Its 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. Im sure youll learn Chinese well.
Hope to see you soon in Beijing.
Yours,
亲爱的大卫,
我很高兴你能来北京学中文。汉语非常有用，许多外国人现在正在学习汉语。它对你来说很困难，因为它与英语有很大的不同。你必须记住尽可能多的中文单词。阅读和写作也很重要。你可以看电视，听收音机练习听力。尽最大努力与中国人交谈。你不仅可以从书本上学到汉语，还可以从你身边的人那里学汉语。如果你有什么问题，请问我。我肯定你会学好中文的。
希望不久能在北京见到你。
你的，

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 Dad,
You’re so busy every day that you don’t pay much attention to your health. I’m worried about your health all the time. I’d like to give you some suggestions. I hear walking is the best sport. Your company isn’t far from home, is it? Why not walk to the office? You’d better take exercise at least once a week, such as playing tennis in the gym. Going to swim is also a nice choice, too. What’s more, it’s necessary to have healthy food. Try not to stay up too late. Having enough sleep can help your brain work better.
Dad, please accept my advice. I really wish you healthy!
Your loving son，
Tom
Dear Dick,
How nice to hear from you again! You want to knowwhat is going on in schools in china. In short, thingshavebegun to improve since we called on school toreduce learning load.

I can follow myown interests, such as reading books, visitingmuseums, and taking computer lessons. In the evenings, I can watch news on TV or readnewspapers. What’s more, I can go to bed earlier. As far as I know, everyone is happy about thenew arrangement of things.

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 Mercy,
亲爱的梅斯，
How is everything going! Last time you said you are anxious now because you find it hard to learn English well. Don’t worry. I think you have to improve your English step by step. And I will right behind you. In my view, you should develop you interest on English first. According to my experience, I think watching English movie, listen to some wonderful English songs and talk in English on the Internet would be helpful. Secondly, you have to prepare lessons before class that will help you understand what the teacher says in the class. I know you feel bored in the class, but you have force yourself to be concentrated. A few days later you will feel it a little easy to learn English. The left steps I will tell next time. By the way, we have not seen each other since your family move to Hunan a year ago. Have you ever thought about going back to visit me and learn English together in the coming Summer vacation. Looking forward to your reply.
过得可好。上次你说你现在很焦虑因为你觉得很难学好英语。别担心。我觉得要提高英语你得一步步来。我会帮你的。在我看来，首先应该要培养你对英语的兴趣。根据我的经验，我认为看英文电影，听美妙的英文歌曲以及在互联网上与他人用英语交流会有很大的帮助。其次，你要预习，这样可以让你理解老师在课堂上说的东西。我知道你觉得上英语课很无聊，但你必须强迫自己聚精会神的听。一段时间后，你会感觉到学习英语变得容易些了。剩下的步骤下一次我会告诉你的。顺便提一下，自从一年前你们家搬到湖南后我们就没见过面。你有没有想过暑假的时候回来看看我，我们可以一起学习英语。期待你的回复。
Best wishes,

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 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,
Nannan
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 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
