Dear Xiao Wang,

I’m very glad to learn that you’re going to visit me during the week-long

holiday. My parents will also be happy to see you again. I am sure you will

enjoy every minute here.

I have arranged our schedule for the holiday as follows. On the first day

you arrive, I’ll show you around our campus. On the second day, we’ll visit the

art gallery and the music hall. Next day, we’ll climb a hill in the northeastern

part of the city. On the top of the hill, we can have a wonderful bird’s eye

view of the city. During the next three days, we’ll make some short trips to

some places of interest nearby, such as the Swan Cave, the Golden Lake, etc. On

the last day, I’ll see you off at the railway station.

Please remember to call and tell me your train number and time of arrival

so that I can meet you at the railway station. By the way, it’s very hot here

and we have a lot of sunshine, so don’t forget to wear you sunglasses.

I’m looking forward to seeing you soon.

Sincerely yours,

Zhang Ying

Dear Professor Smith,

I am Li Hua, chair of the Students’ Union of Xinhua Middle School. Our school will have the Second Culture Festival next weekend and I am writing to invite you to give us a lecture about the cultural differences between America and China, which will begin at 9 o’clock and end at 11 o’clock on Nov. 28th in Classroom 201 of the third teaching building.

As an expert in international culture, you must have a good knowledge of the cultural differences between America and China, so we hope you could help us increase our knowledge and clear some cultural confusion.

Could you please contact us in advance at Englishtec @163.com if you could come to our culture festival? We are looking forward to your reply.

The conception of money is different for the old and the young. The old

generation believes that money should be saved in case of the urgent situation,

while most young people think that money should be spent to realize its value.

When I was struggled about the different opinions, I saw the news report about a

man got back his money that he saved in the early 1990s, which was about 1000

RMB. People made their comment that this amount of money meant so much at that

time, which could buy a nice big house, while today it was just a big meal in

the restaurant. This news inspired me to make reasonable plan of money. The old

way to treat money is not suitable, because money will lose its value as time

goes by. I choose to spend part of money while saving another part of it.

老人和年轻人对于钱的概念是不一样的。老一代认为钱应该存起来，以防紧急需要，然而大多数年轻人认为，钱花出去才能实现它的价值。在我纠结这两个不同观点时，我看见了一则新闻报道，是关于一个人拿出了他在19世纪20年代存的钱，大约1000元人民币。有人说这钱在当时就是一大笔钱，可以买一栋漂亮的大房子了，但是现在只能在餐馆大吃一顿。这个消息激发了我要合理规划金钱的想法。老一辈对待金钱的方式是不对的，因为钱随着时间的流逝价值也会贬值。我会选择花一部分、存一部分。

Dear Mike,

Your letter and package reached me yesterday. You really give me a great surprise. I was wondering what was in such a nice package until I carefully opened it and found that you sent me an attractive present for my birthday. Thank you very much for your kindness, and I like the present, which will give me pleasure for a long time to come.

Again it is thoughtful of you to send me the present on my birthday. Yesterday evening my colleagues held a birthday party for me, including John Liu---I think you can remember---a nice tall boy, who invited you and I to his birthday last October. We enjoyed ourselves, and all of us mentioned your stay with us. We hope that you will come to China soon, if possible.

Please accept my sincere thanks and best wishes.

Yours,

Peter Wang

Last Saturday--April 28th, my classmates and I went to the park near my

school. Can you guess what we did there?Not for amusement but to take part in a

volunteer labour.

上周六,4月28日,我和我的同学去了学校附近的公园里。你能猜猜我们去做什么了吗?不是去玩而是去参加公益劳动。

We reached the park at nine oclock. The whole class was divided into three

groups. I was in Group Three.

我们九点钟到达公园。全班被分为三组。我在笫三组。公益活动

Each group had different tasks. Group One planted trees and watered

flowers. Group Two was told to pick up litter left by the tourists and cleaned

all the benches. The group that I was in wiped all the equipment in the

Childrens Playground. All of us worked hard.

每组有不同的任务。第一组种树和浇花。第二组被告知去接游客留下的垃圾,清理所有的长椅。的我在擦儿童游乐场的所有设备。我们都努力工作。

Before noon we finished working. Each of us felt a little bit tired, but we

were happy because we had done a good deed.

中午之前我们结束了劳动。我们每个人都感觉有点累,但我们很快乐,因为我们做了一件好事。

Dear Bob,

I’m sorry to say that I cannot go to the bookstore with you on Friday

afternoon. I have just found that I have to attend an important class meeting

that afternoon. I hope the change will not cause you too much

trouble.

Shall we go on Saturday morning? We can set out early so that we’ll

have more time to read and select books. If it’s convenient for you, let’s meet

at 8:30 outside the school gate. If not, let me know what time suits you best. I

should be available any time after school next week.

Yours,

Li Hua

我决定写一封信向他道歉英文7

Dear Shelley,

I’m writing to apologize for not watering your jasmine, which caused

its death, while you were away.Now let me explain what

happened to me and my family.

I was so busy preparing for the coming exam that I had no time for

other things. What’s more, my mother had her ankle

injured while she was walking, so I had to take good care of her, who stayed at

home alone. That was why I failed to water your favorite plant. I would like to

buy a new one as a compensation for your loss. Please forgive me.

I sincerely hope you can accept my apologies.

Yours,

Li Hua

It was the final day that I got to spend time with my friends; because

tomorrow I would have to move where my aunt lived. My friends were very sad, and

I myself was also too. We huddled there for a long time, until our parents

called us home. The next day we woke up early and packed everything up; then we

took the train and started out for my aunt’s home. That day was so very hot, and

we had to climb a mountain before we arrive. Actually, I got to say that that

was quite amazing.

Not to mention hat during the climbing, I heard something that had shocked

me very much. Which also meant that I didn’t get to care as much as I was

supposed to; and it also gave me a very good idea that depends on my braveness,

actually not that idea sort of.

Here is how the story went on: When we arrived at the station, I got off

and said that I had missed my friends very, very much; but my mother said that I

could see them in the future.

I was very angry about hose words, and ran off as quickly as I could; but

my dad caught me since that he was in the first. I was very angry about that; my

dad said that we were going to climb a mountain.

When we arrived, dad showed me the map, and that we were going to have a

climbing race. My dad won of course, and I was the last. I was very sad; but my

mom said that was matter. Then I said, “Because first I got to lose my friends;

then I became angry because you said that I could see them in the future; then

everything went wrong.” “Like what?” asked my mom and dad together, “Like losing

the climbing game;” “So, it was just for fun like playing video games in the

house. Or trying to blow up your body in the lab, and besides tomorrow you can

see your friends again; we are only staying here for one whole night,” at these

words I was very astonished; even surprised of my wits.

That was when the next morning, I went back, and could play with my friends

once more. It was a very funny story since it was a real one, and I thought that

we were going move there. My friends questioned me about it, and yes I only had

one answer, I was playing with you and didn’t listen carefully.

Flowers in full bloom in this, green grass of early summer, we have ushered

in a grand festival of Children - June 1 International Childrens Day, I am very

honored to share with the children together in this beautiful holiday. On that

Nothing is difficult if you put your heart into it. Nothing is easy if you

don’t try your best.

We often hear people say, “Never give up.” A person who believes in these

words will keep trying to pursue his goal no matter how many times he fails. In

my opinion, the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have.

Therefore, I believe that we should never give up.

One reason is that if we give up easily, we will achieve nothing. It is not

unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new, so we should not

feel discouraged. Besides, if we always give up when fail happens, we will can

not develop new skills. Finally, we should never give up because as we work to

reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us succeed

in other areas of our lives.

Probably the greatest example of persistence is Abraham Lincoln. Born into

poverty, Lincoln was faced with defeat throughout his life. He lost eight

elections, twice failed in business and suffered a nervous breakdown. He could

have quit many times - but he didnt and because he didnt quit, he became one

of the greatest presidents in the history of America.

Lincoln was a champion For the reason that ---he ,never gave up.

In short, no matter you succeed or not, you can learn something, no matter

what we learn will help us to become more confident. If we give up, we have no

chance to make our dreams come true, if we keep trying, there is always a

chance, that we will succeed one day. Thank you very much!

世上无难事，只怕有心人。如果你不努力，没有什么是容易的。

我们经常听到人们说:“永不放弃。”一个相信这些话的人，无论失败多少次，都将继续追求他的目标。在我看来，成功的决心是很重要的。因此，我认为我们不应该放弃。

一个原因是，如果我们轻易放弃，我们将一事无成。我们第一次尝试新事物时失败并不罕见，所以我们不应该感到气馁。此外，如果我们总是在失败的时候放弃，我们就无法发展新的技能。最后，我们永远不应该放弃，因为当我们努力实现我们的目标时，我们会建立信心，这种信心能帮助我们在生活的其他方面取得成功。

也许最伟大的坚持就是亚伯拉罕·林肯。林肯出身贫寒，一生都面临失败。他在8次选举中失败，两次失败，并经历了精神崩溃。他本可以放弃很多次，但他没有，因为他没有放弃，他成为了美国历史上最伟大的总统之一。

林肯是一个冠军，因为他从不放弃。

总之，无论你成功与否，你都可以学到一些东西，无论我们学到什么都会帮助我们变得更加自信。如果我们放弃，我们就没有机会实现我们的梦想，如果我们继续努力，总有机会，我们终有一天会成功。非常感谢!

I always imagine how nice if I can fly, I am so free, I can fly to the

place I want to go to. If I have the wing, I will fly to my hometown and see its

beautiful scenery, the trees must be so green and the water must be so clean. I

also want to fly to the Great Wall, I have heard about it long time ago, I want

to appreciate its beauty.

It was all that could be done for the whole wide world, for there was only

one of the man that care mostly for him than it is to other things or objects or

things like that; well mostly he cared for himself as I said.

One day he was going to work when he found a very big rock. He loved it and

so carried it to work; when he was there his companions argued with him because

rocks were not allowed in his office or his work area I said.

The man didn’t care for as I had said before this greedy man cared the most

was him and not others. When it was at the end of the day the man went home and

of course went to the mirror to look at himself perfectly. When it was time for

another day at work, the man was very, very, very sad; for his rock was gone.

Now it all happened that there was this rock collector that wanted to collect

all the rocks in his country.

When his companions told him about that he was not happy to hear it, and so

the man had decided to go on an adventure to find the one that had stolen his

rock; even though he didn’t even know what he looks like, but he had a sick plan

which will fool the one that won’t confess his fault. After giving or preparing

the things he’ll need, he hopped on his scooter and drew off to find the guy

that he was searching for.

The guy was soon found out and when he had been caught by the police, then

that time was the guy’s end. Everybody was happy to get their rock back, and

even though they knew that rocks didn’t have their lives; they were still happy

together. Now you know the meaning of rebound, it means: When you do a bad thing

then another bad thing will happen to you. I hope this story will teach you

something important.

And for the one that had stolen the rocks from other people, he knew his

own fault, but it was too late to confess it…

Even if the guy didn’t go to jail, he still knew his own fault and I am 100

percent sure that he will confess it too you know…

Dear Sir,

I would like to apply for the post of Works Manager, which was advertised in The Guardian of I2 October 2004. I feel that my qualifications and experience are ideally suited for the position.

I was born in 1968, and I went to school from 1973 to 1988. In 1987 I took the General Certificate of Education, and I got good grades in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. After leaving school, I attended the Orient Technical College, where I first studied Fiber Technology and Color Chemistry; later I studied other subjects related to textile manufacture, and in 1991 I obtained the Diploma in Textiles.

After completing my studies, I joined the Top Clothing Company where I worked until 1996. In that year I moved to Prior Productions, who was pleased with my work, and as a result, in 1998, I was promoted to Assistant Works Manager there.

I enjoy my work, and I am prepared to work hard. Moreover, I am sure that Prior Productions would give me an excellent reference. I therefore feel that my application deserves your serious consideration.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Mary Ma

敬爱的吴老师：

您好!不久,我已经踏上六年级的阶梯.吴老师,您为我们付出了许多汗水.今天我在这里和您谈谈心里话.

您是一位关心学生的好老师.记得有一次,我班的一位同学由于身体不舒服,在课堂上有些头晕.当消息传到您的耳中时.您就叫那位学生扒在桌面上好好休息,给他一杯热水,还向他问寒问暖.

还有一次,您给我们讲课时,一会打哈欠,一会揉揉鼻子,我们都知道,我们都明白,是你的感冒使得你如此.我想：“吴老师,您怎么不在讲台上休息一会儿呢?”可是我知道,您是为了我们而在顽强地给我们讲课……

在将近期末考试的时候,老师比我们更为紧张,所以常常放学后多上一节课,给我们补课.有些学生埋怨老师不应该放学留下.但您不在乎听他们所讲的话.时时帮助不会的学生,教他们解决的方法,给他以容易的理解,让他能够明白.我们遇到不会的问题便向您请教,您也耐心地给予我们讲解.

In January

Last night, I watched a movie, it is about two teenagers, they have cancer,

but the boy is positive about life while the girl is negative about life. They

meet each other, then the girl is affected by the boy, she starts to see the

beautiful things in her life. I am so moved by the movie, though the ending of

the movie is not so perfect, we see the change of the girls life. The topic of

the movie is to tell people to be positive about life, no matter what happens,

even the bad fortune they get, they still need to smile every day. People need

to find the beauty of life, so they wont life live without meaning.

昨晚，我看了一部电影，那是关于两个青少年，他们身患癌症，但是男孩对生活很乐观，然而女孩子却对生活很悲观。他们遇见了彼此，然后女孩受到了男孩子的影响，她开始看到了生活的美好食物。我被这部电影深深地感动，虽然电影的结局不是那么的完美，但是我们看到了女孩生活的改变。电影的主题是告诉人们要对生活乐观，无论发生什么事情，即使他们遇到不幸，仍然需要每天乐观面对生活。人们需要发现生活的美，这样他们就不会活得没有意义。

Xiao Ming,

Hello!

You are always my best listener to help me analyze problems and solve

difficulties, and I often play your analysis, but since you started practicing

eloquence, I have not only failed to encourage you, but also started to feel

bored with you. But you not only dont mind, but you have always been

considerate of me. I am very sorry for you, and thank you for being willing to

be my listener after that. Thank you for your tolerance and forgiveness.

Today is your birthday. Congratulations on youre one year older. Happy birthday!

小明：

你好!

往常你总是做我最好的听众帮我分析问题解决困难，而我也时常扮演你的分析，但自从你开始练口才的当下，我不但没有鼓励你还开始对你感到厌烦。可是你不但不介意，还一直体谅我。我对你感到很抱歉，也谢谢你在那之后还是愿意做我的听众。谢谢你一直以来对我的包容和宽恕。

今天是你的生日，恭喜你成功老了一岁，生日快乐!

姓名：__

今天，我做了2件好事。第一件事帮奶奶从山上打了一桶水回来。因为我知道每天都要提着四个桶上山打水，我觉得奶奶非常累，就帮奶奶提了一桶水。奶奶夸我长大了，懂事了。

Today, I did two good things. The first thing is to help grandma get a

bucket of water from the mountain. Because I know that I have to carry four

buckets of water up the mountain every day. I think grandma is very tired, so I

helped her carry a bucket of water. Grandma praised me for growing up and being

sensible.

下午，我又给妈妈一个大惊喜了。妈妈走进我的房间一看，非常惊讶，说：“你真是一个懂事的孩子。”得到了奶奶和妈妈的表扬，我非常高兴。

In

the afternoon, I gave my mother another big surprise. When my mother came into

my room, she was very surprised and said, "you are really a sensible child." I

am very happy to be praised by my grandma and

mother.

外婆说，要大笑、要做梦、要与众不同。人生是一场伟大的冒险。

每个人的心里都住着一位超级英雄又或者是曾经住过，而外婆则是爱莎心里与众不同的超级英雄。外婆是个天才，虽然在世人眼里她更像个“怪人”，“疯子”，但那也许是天才的代名词吧，毕竟天才与众不同嘛。不过话说回来：救人性命和把人逼疯都是外婆的超能力，这让她有点儿像是个“精神失调”的超级英雄。但这个活泼过头，四处闯祸的外婆却是爱莎唯一的朋友。不管发生什么，外婆都会无条件站在爱莎这边，为她可以放弃全世界，去跟全世界拼命，与全世界为敌。

外婆爱笑。她的眉梢扬起，笑眼仿佛托起了整个世界，额头上浅浅的沟壑，流淌着厚重的历史长河。外婆喜欢给爱莎讲童话故事，熠熠的光晕剪出她的侧影。能感受到她的肃穆与沉醉，宛如那一刹，世间就只剩她和她的童话，只剩那由时光来牵线的心灵的交汇。外婆目光回旋，将爱莎揽入怀中，宠爱的眼神化作一滩清水，环成一个温柔乡，笑容在她眼角绽成花朵。外婆爱笑，准确来说，外婆会在任何情况大笑，不管是好的还是坏的，因为笑是一切强大力量的载体。

有人说，人生只有三天：昨天，今天和明天。昨天已成为无法追回的过往，明天又还是未知数，而能将它们联系在一起，让它们都具有意义的，就是今天。所以，要学会笑对人生。南非前总统曼德拉说过，生命中最伟大的光辉不在于永不坠落，而在于坠落之后总能再度升起。没有勇气面对现实的人怎么可能再度升起?不能学会笑对人生的人怎会抑制坠落的趋势?

外婆爱疯。她会埋伏在雪地里吓唬邻居，半夜从医院溜出来带爱莎翻进动物园，用彩弹枪射击推销员……她几乎得罪过她所有的邻居，但对于爱莎，她却像是世界上最柔情之人。所以爱莎爱她，包括她的疯，她的一切。

其实，疯也是人生的一种态度，有时疯疯癫癫也未尝不可。对于那些不想听的，不想看的亦或是不想面对的事情，装疯卖傻也是一种不错的选择。遇到不顺心的事，就用好料盖过去。

外婆爱做梦。外婆总喜欢去不眠大陆的密阿玛斯，和爱莎一起，随心所欲。氤氲的雾气凝住，有泛着柔光的月曛打着旋儿。最后几秒钟，迷雾袭来，模糊了意识与感知的边界。骑着云兽，穿过色彩斑斓的天光和轻柔的微风，徜徉于不眠大陆梦幻的长卷中，陶醉于童话甜美的意境间。

我曾经也喜欢做梦，在梦里，我就是心灵的女王。而我现在却爱上了脚踏实地的感觉，梦毕竟是虚幻的，是心灵的避风港。当一切落幕，还是要回归现实。

我们的生命就如同烂漫的花朵，无法选择出身，无法挑选背景，但我们可以选择面对，可以选择微笑，可以通过努力向世界证明自己来过，留下自己的痕迹，可以让自己像花朵一样绽放。

每个人都是与众不同的。我们无法选择自己，但可以选择生活。只要我们不怨天尤人、自暴自弃，只要我们足够勇敢、乐观积极，只要像花朵一样努力开放，我们就不会辜负作为一个人的尊严和权利。

I have a house. It is big and new. There are eight rooms in it. They are a

living-room， a kitchen， three bedrooms， one study and two bathrooms. I watch TV

in the living-room. I do my homework in the study. I have dinner in the kitchen.

This is my house. I like it.

Dear Mr. Cao

happy new year!

On the night of new years Eve, my parents and I went to Lianhua Mountain

to visit Deng Xiaoping after the reunion. The streets are deserted, and many

people have returned to their hometown. I think of the 23rd day of the twelfth

lunar month when my grandparents were busy cleaning the house and buying all

kinds of new years products. I am curious: why is the Spring Festival so busy?

Why are so many people desperate to buy tickets back home for the new year? What

are the customs and traditions of Chinese Spring Festival? Why do my parents

take me to pay a new years visit to grandfather Deng?

With these questions, I immediately found a book about Chinese Spring

Festival folklore when I went home. The book introduces many customs, including

pasting New Year pictures. It is said that the characters in the New Year

pictures can ward off evil spirits, eat reunion dinner, legend of new year

animals, offering sacrifices to the kitchen and sweeping the Chen, meeting the

God of wealth, etc. One of the most impressive is the kitchen and sweeping the

Chen.

Among the people, the traditional Spring Festival begins on the 23rd of the

twelfth lunar month and ends with the Lantern Festival. As the saying goes, "23,

sacrifice to the kitchen official." The kitchen official is the monitoring God

of the world. At this time of year, the kitchen official will go to heaven to

report everything on earth, so the people will worship him on the 23rd of the

twelfth lunar month. No matter how small the household is, they should clean up

the stove, several cases, pots and pans, and prepare kitchen cakes and sugar for

sacrifice. The kitchen cake is the dry food that the kitchen god wants to bring,

and the kitchen sugar should be put on the kitchen gods mouth. The cooking

sugar is made from malt. It tastes very sweet and sticky. It is put on the

kitchen gods mouth to let him "say good things from heaven and keep peace in

the lower world".

After the sacrifice, the kitchen was cleaned up. In the old days, it was

called "sweeping Chen", and "Chen" was homophonic with "dust", so sweeping Chen

was to sweep the dust in an all-round way. This is more detailed and

comprehensive than the usual cleaning. The places that are not easy to clean at

ordinary times, such as spider webs on the roof, dust, furniture corners, doors

and windows, etc., should be wiped clean with bamboo poles and rags. Bed sheets

and quilt covers will also be removed and cleaned. Some people even paint the

walls and paint doors and windows to make the interior look brand new.

There is no custom of offering sacrifices to the kitchen in our family. We

will "sweep the Chen" every year. This is the traditional virtue of the Chinese

nation, which loves to be clean and clean. In the future, I will also help my

family to clean up the house together.

There are also a lot of folk stories, I will tell you slowly after the

beginning of school.

Best wishes

Good health and good luck!
