I would like to thank you at the end of our middle school education. You have been very kind and helpful since we knew each other.
You have given me so much help that I will never forget. Last term, I caught a bad cold and had to stay at home for a week. When I was worrying about the lessons, you came to my home after school and helped me with every subject. With your help, I didn’t fall behind others. Since then, we have become very close friends.

+ 加入清单Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m Li Hua from Class One, Senior Two. As far as I am concerned, I believe to teach English for pupils from Chen Xi Hope School will be good for both the primary-school students and high-school student tutor, which thus will result in substantial social benefits.
I think I am qualified for being the pupils’ English coach, because I have good character, being independent in life and proficient in English. That’s why I apply for the position; I hope I can join the instructive activity.
My plan for coaching the pupils is to teach them by listening, speaking, reading and writing. What’s more important is to stimulate their interests in learning English as a foreign language, creating a good learning environment. I hope you can offer the opportunity.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

+ 加入清单There was once a family, and they were all happy. Although they did not
have much money, the children still thought that working is the best!
In their country, lived a wise king, and you may guess, that this king was
proud and unkind; most people don’t like him, and so had driven him away through
the woods, and into a small boat, which they sent him away.
The king was not happy about this, and so went to see General Lord, to let
him help to win back his crown. And suppose, you may guess, that this proud king
had an evil Roman prince. It was already dawn and the sun was setting, General
Lord gave five horses to them; and told them to follow him. They galloped
further and further, until they came to a dark cave; curled with thick thorny
bushes, but this was no ordinary cave; oh no, this was a palace cave, which
lived the king of all animals.
And the king of all animals was nobody but the great tiger! Yikes! Most
people thought tigers weren’t very nice, but General Lord saw him years ago; and
they had been friends ever since. And so there was a pretty good chance General
Lord said, “Go in,” The proud king, and the selfish Queen; with their son, the
wicked Roman prince, entered the mouth of the cave. General Lord led them
inside, and there sat the big tiger. This tiger said, “Hello dear friends,”
“Ah!” cried the king, “A talking tiger!” “Of course,” said General Lord, “Kings
were supposed to learn everything.”
“Now,” said the tiger, “What can I do for you General Lord?” “I want a
party!” “A party?” asked the proud king, “I just want you to help me win back my
crown!” he shouted, “Yes,” said General Lord, “But a party could show your
people that you love them and care for them.”
The king accepted the offer of General Lord, and so took the party
decorations, and decorated the main hall, and then made the treats, and invited
all the people here, “What do you want proud king?” “I want to give you a party,
to say that I am sorry for all the bad deeds I have done.”
“It’s about time proud king. Ha!” and then the music began; they danced all
night, and sang. Everybody thought that the king just wanted them to give him
back; but they already realized that they had already made Milan the king. And
so they went to the palace, and told him that they wanted the old king back; and
that he should get off the throne.
Milan was very angry by these words, and so sent guards to arrest him. Just
then the old king approached, he knew that Milan loved to dance, and that he
couldn’t bear not to. He took the music box here, and began to dance. As he
said, Milan began to dance, and he pushed him aside; which allowed him to sit,
and that was how the old king became king again.”

+ 加入清单Laba is celebrated on the eighth day of the last lunar month, referring to
the traditional start of celebrations for the Chinese New Year. La in Chinese
means the 12th lunar month and ba means eight.
Legends about the origin of this festivity abound. One holds that over
3,000 years ago sacrificial rites called La were held in the twelfth lunar month
when people offered their preys to the gods of heaven and earth. The Chinese
characters for prey and the twelfth month were interchangeable then, and ever
since La has been used to refer to both.
Since the festival was held on the eighth day of the Last month, people
later appended the number eight (ba in Chinese), giving us the current Laba
.
The majority Han Chinese have long followed the tradition of eating Laba
rice porridge on the Laba Festival. The date usually falls in mid-Janua.

Dear Sir,
I am working on a new project which is called A Survey of New Industry in the Maywood District. According to the design of our district, we need information about firms that have recently moved into this area. Your firm is one of the largest of these, so I shall be very grateful if you can spare the time to help me.
Three points are specially important to the project. The first one is the training schemes for school leavers. The second one is about the transport arrangements to overcome poor road and rail links in this district. The third is the plans for expansion.
Any other information will be useful, but those points are the ones with which I most need your help.
I am enclosing an information form for you to fill in. I hope you can post it to us as soon as possible. I apologize for adding to your work with this request, but I do hope that you will feel able to assist me.
I would be most grateful for your favorable consideration of this request.

篇11:他写了一封信给我英语
全文共 7682 字
+ 加入清单My Darling McGeorge
You said that things seemed clearer when they were written down. Well, here
with a very boring letter in which I will try to put everything down so that you
may read and re-read it at a horror at your folly in getting involved with
me.
Deep breath. To begin with ,I love you. With a depth and passion and I have
felt for no one else in this life. And if it is astonishes you, it astonished me
as well. Not, I hasten to say, because you are not worth loving. Far from it.
Its just that, first of all,I swore I would not get involved with another
woman. Secondly, I have never had such a feeling before and it is almost
frightening. Thirdly, I would never have thought it possible that another human
being could occupy my waking and sleeping thoughts to the exclusion of almost
everything else. Fourthly, I never thought that even if one was in love one
could get so completely besotted with another person so that a minute away from
them felt like a thousand years. Fifthly, I never hoped,aspired, dreamed that
one can find everything one wanted in one person.
I was not such an idiot as to believe this was possible. Yet in you I have
found everything I want: youre beautiful, gay, giving, gentle, idiotically and
deliciously feminine, sexy, wonderfully intelligent and wonderfully silly as
well. I want nothing else in this life than to be with you, to listen and watch
you, your beautiful voice, your beauty, to argue with you, to laugh with you, to
show you things, to share things with you, to explore your magnificent mind, to
explore your wonderful body, to help you, protect you, serve you ,and...bash you
on the head when I think you are wrong...
Not to put too fine a point on it, I consider that I am the only man
outside mythology to have found crock of gold at the rainbows end. But, having
said all that, let us consider things in details. Dont let this become public,
but, well...I have one or two faults. Minor ones,I hasten to say. For example I
am inclined to be overbearing. I do it for the best possible motives, all
tyrants say that, but I do tend, without thinking, to treat people underfoot.
You must tell me when Im doing it to you, my sweet, because it can be a very
bad thing in a marriage.
Right, the second blemish. This actually is not so much a blemish of
character as a blemish of circumstance. Darling, I want you to be you on your
own right, and I will do everything I can to help you in this. But you must take
into consideration that I am also me in my own right. And that I have a head
start on you. What Im trying to say is that you must not feel offended if you
are sometimes treated simply as my wife. Always remember that what you lose on
the swings you gain on the roundabouts. But i am an established ‘creature’ in
the world, and so on occasions you will have to live in my shadow. Nothing gives
me less pressure than this. But it is a fact of life that has to be faced.
Third, a very important and nasty, blemish. Jealousy. I dont think you
know what jealousy is, thank god, in the real sense of the word. I know that you
have felt jealousy over Lincolns wife and child, but this is what I call normal
jealousy, and this to my regret, is not what Ive got. What I have got is a
black monster and any goodness that I have in my make-up. It is really a Jekyll
and Hyde situation... my Hyde is stronger than my good sense and defeats me,
hard though I try. As I told you, I have always known that this lurks within me,
but I could control it, and my monster slumbered and nothing happened to awake
it. Then I met you and I felt my monster stir and become half-awake when you
told me of Lincoln and others you have known, would you like to end with your
letter my monster came out of its lair, black, irrational, bigoted, stupid,
evil, malevolent. You never know how terribly corrosive jealousy is; It is a
physical pain as though you have swallowed acid or red hot coals. It is the most
terrible of feelings. But you cant help it at least I cant and god knows Ive
tried. I dont want any ex-boyfriends sitting in church when I marry you. On our
wedding day I want nothing but happiness both for you and me, but I know I wont
be happy if there is a church full of your ex-conquests. When I marry you I will
have no past, only a future. I dont want to drag my past into our future and I
dont want you to do it, either. Remember I am jealous of you because I love
you. You are never jealous of something you dont care about.
Okay enough about jealousy. Now let me tell you something. I have seen a
thousand sunsets and sunrises, in a thousand sunsets and sunrises on land where
it floods forest mountains with honey-coloured light, at sea where it rises and
sets like a blood orange in a multi-coloured nest of cloud, slipping in and out
of the vast ocean. I have seen thousand moons. Harvest moon is like gold coins,
winter moons as white as ice chips, new moons like baby swans feathers. I have
seen seas as smooth as if painted, coloured like shot silk or blues as a
kingfisher or transparent as glass or black and crumpled with foam, moving
ponderously and murderously. I have felt winds straight from the south pole,
bleak and wailing like a lost child; Winds as tender and warm as a lovers
breath; Winds that carried the astringent smell of salt and the death of
seaweeds; Winds during the moist rich smell of a forest floor, the smell of a
million flowers. Fierce winds that churned and moved the sea like yeast, or
winds that made the waters lap at the shore like a kitten. Ive known silence:
the cold, earthy silence at the bottom of a newly dug well; The implacable stony
silence of a deep cave; The hot, drugged midday silence when everything is
everything is hypnotized and still moved into silence by the eye of the sun. The
silence when great music ends. Ive heard that summer cicadas cry so that the
sound seems stitched into your bones. Ive heard a tree frogs in an
orchestration as complicated as Bach singing in a forest lit by a million
emerald fireflies. Ive heard the Keas calling over the grey glaciers that
groaned to themselves like old people as they inched. Their way to the sea. Ive
heard the hoarse street vendor cries of the mating Fur seals as they sang to
their sleek golden wives, the crisp staccato admonishment of the rattlesnake,
make the cobweb squeak of the Bat and the belling roar of the red deer knee-deep
in purple heather. Ive heard wolves baying at a winters moon, read howlers
making the forest vibrate with their roaring cries. Ive heard the squeak, purr
and grunt of a hundred multi-coloured reef fishes. I’ve seen hamming birds
flashing like opals round a tree of scarlets blooms, humming like a top. I have
seen flying fish skittering like quicksilver across the blue waves, drawing
silver lines on the surface with their tails. Ive seen Spoonbills flying home
to roost like a scarlet banner crossed the sky. Ive seen Whales, black as tar,
cushioned on a cornflower blue sea,creating a Versailles of fountain with their
breath. I have watched butterflies emerge and sit, trembling, while the sun
irons their wings smooth. I watch tigers, like flames, mating in the long grass.
I have been dive -bombed by an angry Raven, black and glossy as the Devils
hoof. Ive lain in water warm as milk, soft as silk, while around me played a
host of Dolphins. I have met a thousand animals and see a thousand wonderful
things.
All this I did without you. This was my loss. All this I want to do with
you. This will be my gain. All this I would gladly have forgone for the sake of
one minute of your company, for your love, your voice, your eyes, hair, lips,
body, and above all for your sweet, ever surprising mind which is an enchanting
quarry, in which it is my privilege to delve.

Today smoking is a widespread habit ali over the world. Not only the old,

cancer, from which many people have died in the past years. It can also cause
many other diseases. In a word, if you smoke, you do have a much greater chance
of losing your health. Furthermore, scientific research shows that smoking is
not only harmful to smokers themselves, but also a threat to public health,
especially to women and children. Therefore, many countries have made laws
forbidding smokers to smoke m public places such as cinemas, stations,
hospitals, and so on Giveup smoking! If you don’t smoke, don’t start. Give
upsmoking for the sake of your health, for the sake of your family, and for the

吸烟与健康
现在,吸烟是一个世界范围的习惯,不仅老年人、青年人吸烟,就连中学生也加入到这个行列中来,他们中的许多人认为吸烟是一种潇洒的象征。
然而,吸烟对人的健康是有害的,它会引起肺癌,在刚刚过去的几年中;许多人因此而丧命,还可能引发其他的疾病。总之,如果你吸烟的话,你就很可能失去拥有健康的机会,更进一步说,科学研究显示,吸烟不仅危害吸烟者本人,而且对公共健康来说,也是一个凶兆,尤其是对妇女和孩子。因此,许多国家都制定了不准在公共场合吸烟的法规,例如:电影院,车站,医院等地。

+ 加入清单dear teacher,
it has been a long time since i wrote the last letter. nowdays, people write letters less and less, instead, they make a call or send a sms. however, it is still a good way for us to communicate with each other by sending a letter
its my honour to get the chance to write to you. "approachable" is my first impression of you, because you always keeps smiling. students may fear the teachers that are serious both in and out of class. smile makes a teacher popular with his students, you are a teacher of this very kind.
you always arrive at the classroom ahead of any of the students, from which we could imply that you are a diligent man with regular habit. before the class, you like to talk to us, at this very time, you are more a friend than a teacher. to be honest, i was surprised in the first class when i learned a teacher at your age could speak english insuch a fluent way.(i didnt mean you are old, youre young at heart.) moreover, you know well how to keep your class attractive. youve got such an active mind that you can keep talking during the whole class without a pause. i always appreciated your ideas and enjoyed listening to you. in your class, i learned not only the writing skills but also the presentation skills as well as much knowledge of other areas. thanks for your excellent teaching.
ive got some suggestions for you. it seems that we students have got few chances to participate in discussion during the class time. most of the time, we are listening. seldom did we express our own ideas. i suggest that teachers should interact with students more frequently in the class. besides, id like to practice writing more, so would you please leave us more assignments?
happy new year.
with every good wish.
yours sincerely dali wang

for the personal values. I remember you gave me a book as a present of the
Spring Festival. You are the first teacher who gave me a present which I was
moved for a long time.
我衷心的感谢你教会了我什么是责任。你帮我找到最适合自己的位置并和个人价值。我记得你曾给我一本书作为春节的礼物。你是第一个给我礼物的老师,这让我感动了很久。
I would further say that you gave me so good memories that I wish I could
go back to that time again. It was you who encouraged me to overcome obstacles.
It was you who cared about my emotions. I appreciate all you have done for me,
which meant so much to me. I hope that this letter brings my best wishes to you
and I once again thank you for giving me those precious memories of my life,
which I shall cherish forever.

+ 加入清单Everybody knows that people often wrote stories for fun, but this story
tells how a little boy hates writing stories, but he then learned a valuable
lesson on a dangerous adventure.
Once, there was a boy called Moni, Moni was a very cute little boy, and was
always proud to show off at some time. Moni’s mother loved baking pies, but she
always scolded Moni for eating them without her permission.
One day his mother said that he was old enough to write stories. Moni had
no idea what the word story means, but mother said, “It is to write interesting
tales of children who goes on adventures.” She said to Moni. Moni always thought
that playing was fun, but he also heard her say that writing stories was more
fun. But as he began to first word of his story, he began to feel bored. “This
is no fun!” he cried, “It is even more bored than going to school and learn
lessons!”
Moni did not like writing stories, but his mother waited until he had
finished his first story; then she will let him go outside and play. It all
happened that Moni knew every secret about the house; he could easily find
another way out. And so he ran up to the attic, and started to crawl out between
two logs. Moni got out, and saw a beautiful pine tree; He climbed up, made a
platform, and started to feast upon the fruits.
Moni was having such a great time, that he had no idea that a pond was
nearby; and he had no idea, that there was a crocodile down waiting for him to
come down so that he could feast upon Moni.
Moni was eating the last few fruits, and then he got thirsty; so he looked
down, then he found the crocodile. Moni had no choice but to cry out for help.
“Help!” he cried, “Help!” Moni’s mother heard his cries, and ran out into the
garden. There, she saw the crocodile; and Moni up in the tree. “Hold on, there
Moni!” she cried, “I shall save you!” She ran inside the house, she used a
stick, and killed the crocodile as he was looking up. And then Moni got down
from the tree, and confessed his fault.
When he got back to his room, he began to write stories; he figured that it
as much more fun to write stories, than it is to be free. Of course, he wrote
the adventure he had, and how his mom saved him. And you could probably guess,
that the 《Three Little Pigs》is a story that he wrote. And he was soon known as
the great writer, “Moni Frank”.

+ 加入清单Now I have already told you a story about an old man that thought he knew
everything, and had been asked a hard question to answer by the king’s
professor; and had been crowned king. Well in this story, I am going to tell you
how the old man got back to thinking he knew everything, and was asked another
hard question by the king’s professor.
It all happened that one day, when the professor was feeling sick, the old
man happened to be on the stage. Now he had a throne too, but not as fancy as
the professor’s. And so he decided to sit on it. When other people are standing
in line to ask for questions, the old man said, “The professor has quit, and so
I shall rule this stage and this kingdom!”
All the people gave him a slow clap, and at last began to ask questions.
Two more days passed and the professor got better, and walked to the stage. But
he found that on his throne was the old man. “Ah! Professor!” shouted the old
man in an angry tune, “You quit! I heard you say that a week ago!” “I said that
I was going to quit about two days because I was sick,” explained the professor
smiling.
“I think I should be king rather than you!” shouted the old man, “Fine! I
shall ask you a hard question, if you could answer it; then you ask me one. But
if not, the guards shall make you my breakfast, next month!” “Deal,” said the
professor, still smiling. And so the hard question contest began.
First the old man asked, “What’s the answer of 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1?” “That’s
easy,” said the professor, and he wrote it on a paper. When he is finished, he
handed the paper over to the old man; it said, “If you want to find the answer,
you said eight 1. All you have to do is use multiplication to find the answer:
8﹡1.” The old man was astonished, “Your right!” he shouted; “Now you ask me
one!” “1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1﹣1﹣1?” “Do you want to know the answer now?”
asked the man, “No,” said the man, “I just want to count how many ones did I
count?”
