The people of China have been very much in my thoughts over the past two weeks as I have watched, with mounting concern, the effects of the devastation caused by the terrible earthquake in Sichuan Province. It has been most impressive to see the marvellous way in which the Chinese humanitarian operations have brought swift and effective relief to those affected. I am
particularly pleased that the Wenchuan Earthquake Orphan Fund has been established, to help the children who have lost their parents in the disaster.I wanted to take this opportunity to send my deepest sympathy following this terrible tragedy to the people of China, and my most heartfelt condolences to all those who have lost loved ones.
My Prince's Charities are engaging ever more closely in China, including work to assist, in a small way, with the preservation of China's rich and diverse heritage. It would give me the greatest pleasure if we were able to develop these ties still further with, in particular, practical assistance from my Prince's Foundation for the Built Environment in planning the reconstruction of parts of Sichuan Province.Charles

写给受伤的人的慰问信要尽量简短、中肯。信中不必查问事故是怎么发生的，是谁的过错，或有无见证人;而应表达你听到友人受伤后的难过心情，以及希望他不久就能痊愈等等。换言之，你关心的不是事故的前前后后，而应该是受伤者的身体和恢复情况。

3》dear james, in today’s newspaper, i read about the recent events in your town and i am writing to extend my deepest condolences.
it broke my heart to see all those pictures of those whose homes have been destroyed in the tragic hurricane. i couldn’t believe my eyes when i saw a little girl crying on the roof of her house asking for help. i am really worried about you and your family, and all your friends there. i am crossing my fingers for you now in hopes that you are all safe and sound.
i can only imagine how difficult this time must be for you, and i want to extend to you my unwavering support. our government and many nongovernmental organizations are initiating various campaigns to urge people to donate money and necessary things to send to america. i donated all my allowance that i have been saving for years.

4》the earthquake which happened two weeks ago in sichuan province is an enormous disaster for our whole nation. it has caused both financial and life loss. until now, fifty thousand people lost their lives due to the earthquake and much more injured seriously. five million people have no homes to return as the majority of the buildings were collapsed
we are sorry about this accident. it’s a pity that many children lost their parents and many couples lost their lovers. i could not help but cry when hearing of the moving stories that happened during the disaster
our whole nation is a big family, every member would like to give a helping hand to the people who suffered from the earthquake. we must show our warm-heartedness and make donations to the stricken area so that their broken heart can be warmed.
a series of actions has been taken since the earthquake happened. i believe the stricken area will soon be restored with the soldiers and other warm-hearted people’s help. the future will be bright, cheer up!
yours sincerely

Dear Jane,
I am terribly sorry to learn that you didn’t do well in the final examination of computer. I know you must be very depressed about it, but please don’t lose your heart. You have done what you can and there is no permanent winner. I think all you need is to sum up your mistakes and make a good preparation for the next time. I believe you will make it. Come on, my dear friend.
Yours truly，
Tiffany
Dear [David]:
I am afraid that you will think me unpardonably negligent in not having answered your letter dated [7, December] sooner, but when I have told you the reason, I trust you will be convinced that the neglect was excusable. When your letter arrived, I was just in [Hong Kong]. As my family could not forward it to me during my absence, it has been, therefore, lying on my desk until the moment when I took it up. Now the first thing I have to hasten to do is to write to you these few lines to express my deep regret.
I enjoyed many pleasant sights during my trip. I shall be pleased to give you an account to of them when I see you next.
Yours,
june 29, 20xx
dear bill,
what shocking news to me when i was told by mr. lewis that you could not pass the entrance
examination. this means you have to wait for another year to attend the next entrance examination.
i quite understand how you feel now. still you have many more chances to try. so i hope that you
will not take this to heart, and will get ready to try again. i am sure you will easily succeed next
time.
yours,
elizabeth

Dear Sir，
The news of your accident just reached me this morning. I’m greatly shocked to learn that you were knocked down by a car yesterday. How are you feeling today
The only good thing about it is that your mother told me that you are progressing nicely, I hope that you are doing well after the operation, and that you’ll be out of the hospital in about a week. I’m coming to see you on Sunday and trust that your condition will remarkably improve by then.
A little package from Rose and me will reach you a day or two. We hope the small thing will interest you.
Sincerely yours,
Li Ming
