Dear Ms. Fu,

亲爱的付老师，

I would like you to know that I appreciate the help and support you gave to

me when I was in junior high school. I enjoyed being taught by you immensely.

You are an excellent teacher and inspired me to continue learning with an open

and positive mind.

我想让您知道我非常感激在我上初中的时候你给予的帮助和支持。我非常喜欢你做我的老师。你是一个优秀的教师，鼓励我以开放和积极的态度继续学习。

I would like to convey my heartfelt gratitude to you for teaching me what

is responsibility. You helped me how to find the best place for myself and look

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.

我还想说你给了我这么美好的回忆，我希望我能再次回到那个时候。是你鼓励我克服困难。是你关心我的情绪。我很感激你为我所做的一切，这对我来说是很重要的。我希望这封信能给你带去我最好的祝福，我再次感谢你给我的生活带来那些珍贵的回忆，我会永远珍惜它的。

Sincerely yours,

Yang

A boy lives near my house and I never know his name. Every day, he will

bring some food to the homeless dogs and cats. Sometimes when I am passing

through, I see what he does. He is so kind that I decide to make friends with

him. He is talkative and have a lot of funny things to share. What a lovely

boy.

Hello everybody! My name is Chen Xuanlin. It is my pleasure to be here to

share my opinions of growing pains.

Grow up, like a boat in my life, driving the wave surface. Sometimes, be in

calm, sometimes be in rough. But the boat I was growing up, not everything is

going. For me, sour,sweet,bitter,ho t,everything .

Now, as I grow up, are becoming adults, so in the eyes of parents, I was no

longer to be a kid. Sometimes, they say "youve grown up,not a children!" When I

listen to this,my head will be pain.

When I was a little boy, my life is so relaxed.But now, in front of the

waves are bigger, and more twists and turns the sea,I become a middle school

student, that I have all gone past. Im taller, homework more, study more

subjects,have more test.When I was a boy, I am wrong no matter what happened, no

one to blame me.But now,if I do something wrong,my parents will shout. The

relaxe time will far away from me.I will be more busy.

Study pressure always troubling me. Grown up, more work gradually like

hills. After school, I do not dare to play, to see their favorite book, Im

afraid I cant complete the work, I can only try very hard to make the pen in my

book on wave, for example, I have to run on the way home. The course also

gradually heavy. Every home in the evening review, I looked at a lot of books, I

really do not know to study what subject, is Chinese? Or math? Or geography?

Or……

What should I do? To look life in the future.

敬爱的布朗老师：

我谨以此向您表达我最真诚的谢意，感谢您在过去两年里对我的帮助。在过去的两年里，成为您的学生，我学到了许多。首先，您对教学和学生的认真态度使我深受感动。您鼓舞着我不断地努力学习。其次，在您的影响下，我深深地喜欢上了英语。作为一名理工科学生，我以前一直认为英语对我毫无用处，但您使我认识到了英语的魅力所在，带我走进了一个全新的世界，培养了不同的思维方式。最后，您的鼓励总在我遭遇困难或挑战是鼓励着我。您曾经说过：“每一件事情到了最后都会变成好事，如果不是，那说明还没有到最后。”每当想起您说过的话，我就有了坚持下去的动力。

最后，请允许我再次向您表达我的感谢，接受我真诚的谢意。献上最美好的祝福。

Holidays,I visited my grandparents with my family this holiday. Both of my

grandparents are very happy to see us. They cooked many delicious dishes for us.

I enjoy the food very much. After spending a few days with them, it is time to

go back home. I will miss my grandparents.

Dear Sir,

I am a December 2003 graduate from the University of San Francisco (USF) with a bachelors degree in International Business. As part of my career planning, I am very interested in supplementing my international business education with a basic knowledge of the Chinese language. This I hope will help me enter into business commerce with business organizations partnering with Chinas economic development.

I already have information from BLCU and hope to study there for at least one full year starting with this summers program continuing through the fall and spring semester 2006. Can your office advise me if such scholarships might be available to me?

I have been studying Chinese for one year now. I am not sure what level I belong to. I was told that there will be an HSK test in our university in September. I am planning to attend the test. But I dont know if the result of the test is recognized by your university. If so, can it be a help for me to apply for the scholarship?

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours faithfully,

Tom Jolly

My mother always tried to let me make my own choice. She wants me to be

independent. Sometimes I make mistakes, but my parents wont blame me. So even I

chose the wrong road, but I learn the precious lesson. It helps me become

stronger. Never to be afraid of making mistakes, because nobody can take the

right road all the time.

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.

Dear Ms.vvv,

I write this letter because I want to talk to you about thepunishment of copying the sentences on the English book.

I don’t think this punishment is fair.

Firstly, I am quite sure that I did complete my homework before. Itis a weekend assignment. Li Peiqi goes to myhouse every Friday. We do our homework together. She can prove thatI did it exactly.

Secondly, I remembered that I handed in the paper.

Thirdly, I don’t know the rule of punishment before. Besides, Idon’t know my paper disappear.

Last, I still like you so much while I would like you to know thetruth.

Love,

Dora

There was once a little boy, who was my grandpa; lived in a little cottage

near the king’s palace. He was a jolly fellow in his life.

One day, he went down to the brook to pick some flowers. Close to the brook

was a little log, on it was a tinker. Beside him was a tool box, and in it were

some tools. “He must be the one that fixed the pluming machine in my backyard!”

my grandpa gasped as he said that. The tinker was having his lunch: One or two

pieces of bread, a bit of cold meat, and a cold potato. It looked such poor

lunch; that grandpa ran into the house, and grabbed two fresh apples, and gave

it to the tinker. The tinker thanked grandpa and ate the apples. And then he

went down to the brook to have a drink. When he came back, he said, “Now my boy,

we shall plant a tree!” “A tree?” asked grandpa, “But I thought only god makes

trees!’’ “True,” said the tinker, “Only god makes trees. But sometimes we could

help him. And the tinker pulled out a stick, and dug a hole in it. In which he

found a bark. He took the bark out of the stick, and gave the stick to grandpa,

saying, “Here my boy; wash it in the brook.” And so grandpa went to the brook,

and washed up the stick. And then he went back where the tinker was standing

with the bark in his hands.

There he found the tinker, dragging some grass from the ground. And then he

took the stick in grandpa’s hand, and used the grass to tie up around with the

bark. Then he slipped the bark back in the stick. And then he took it out,

squeezed the water out, and told grandpa to wash it up again. When he came back,

he put the bark back in it again. And then fitted it into a hole, which he had

dug; and used the end that didn’t have a hole, and fitted it in the ground; a

few months passed, and the tree grew as strong as the strongest man.

Today, my friend was ten years old and his family gave him a big party. He

asked me to join his party, which was such a big party. His home was full of

balloons. What a lively atmosphere was. We sang the birthday song to him and

sent our best wishes. We played funny games and had a great time.

Our art teather is not too young and not too old .He has black hair two big

and black eyes ，a small nose and a big mouth .Look， he is wearing a white jacket

，a blue hat ，brown pants and a pair of old shoes.He is very funny.He is a good

art teather .We all like him .

老婆大人：

Dear Kate,

This term I moved to a new house and studied in a new school. But I always

missed my friend. My old house was move comfortable than this new house. I

wanted to go back to my old house.

Everything was strange for me,so I couldnt study better. I felt nervous in

the first test. And I got bad scores,I felt very sad. The teacher shouted at me.

And then,I felt under too much pressure and very tired. My parents were also sad

with me. When my classmates knew this thing,she helped me,and gave me some

advice. Later,I thought I can be better next time.

I hope to get on well with everyone and get a good mark soon.

Yours，

Mr. Zeng

Hello! Winter vacation for a long time, did not see you, so want to write a

letter to you, talk about my new years interesting events.

On the second day of the first month, my parents and I went to visit aunt

mans house for new years greetings. We met four cousins and cousins. Mother

saw that our children had no fun staying in the yard, so she proposed to climb

the mountain. We were overjoyed and rushed to say yes. It should not be too

late. Mother and aunt Jingjing set out with five children. The road up the

mountain is extremely rugged, and to the back is almost full of dense jungle. I

led two cousins to rush forward through all kinds of difficulties to open up a

passage for my mother and two sisters. Later, I felt that I was the biggest boy

and should not not take care of my sister, so I went back to the back to protect

my sisters. For a moment, I plucked the trees for Kiki, and then led Xi Xi Xi

across the pit. We took care of each other, and finally climbed to the top of

the mountain. My mother took some pictures for us as a souvenir. It began to go

down the mountain again. We ran into a house with dogs. We three "little men"

came back home to protect our two cousins and two mothers.

My aunt and grandmothers house is backed by green hills and facing the

fields. After dinner, we happily went to the fields to play! As soon as we saw

the haystack, we would sleep, roll and play on it. We had a lot of fun. The

lovely smiling faces on the haystack entered the mothers camera. The haystack

that others have painstakingly piled up has been broken up. We feel sorry for it

and try to pile it up again.

On the fourth day of junior high school, we went to my uncles house to pay

New Years greetings. His family has a unicycle, usually used to carry grain or

farm tools. Seeing this special "rustic" car, I was very happy and invited

brother hang and brother Yi, who came to pay New Years greetings, to play with

me. Yi Di and I were sitting on the wheelbarrow, and brother hang came to push

the wheelbarrow, which was much more fun than riding in the car! However,

brother Hangs strength was too strong, the speed was too fast, and there was no

safety guarantee, so we screamed nervously!

Mr. Zeng, you see, in such a vast country, we have spent a healthy, happy

and beautiful spring festival in the city for a long time. Did you have a

colorful spring festival?

Best wishes

Everything is as good as you wish!

Dear Miss Wang

How are things going? Thanks for you very much. You make your English class

so interesting that we all like you and your class very much. I still remembed

when you was my English teacher at the beginning, I was so weak in English and I

nearly gave up. It was you that talked with me and taught me how to learn

English well. You often helped with my English after school. With your help, I

have made great progress in English. Now, I am good at English and I always get

good grades. Thanks so much for your help and your education. I will study hard

in the future.

Yours

THE ONLY MAGICAL THING----Map There was only one thing in the world that

wanted to play, and that guy’s name was Jack. He wanted to be a pirate one day,

and found treasure in pirate islands… He had a conversation with his mother one

day for certain. It was about being a pirate one day for once in his

lifetime…

“Mom, I want to be a pirate one day, and find treasures in buried islands

and…” “Whoa! Hold there son, what do you mean by, you what to be a pirate?”

asked his mother, “Well it is that I just want to hunt for treasure instead of

just being a regular boy like usual…”

His mother laughed so very hard, “Then why don’t you ask the sorcerer of

the wicked castle?” his mother suddenly added, “What do you mean of: Wicked?”

“Well,” replied her mother, “It all happened in…” “Wait!” shouted Jack, “There

is no time for you to explain the whole thing, if you could show me this ‘Wicked

castle’ then I could be a pirate sooner or later.

And so his mother showed him a riddle clue, which had many words written on

it, “All you have to do is answer the riddles and you will arrive at your

destination;” so Jack took the map, and head out for the wicked castle

immediately, “Now let us see, two choices to make; which one is it that I need

to take?” then he suddenly felt a little twinkle among his eyes, he looked at

the map; “That’s it!” he opened the map and placed it upon him. “Now, I just

need to figure this one out.”

He read it out loud, “Choose the path that has round hard things the most…”

then he thought about it, he looked at each side; first, he checked the left;

“There is nothing very hard on this side, or even round!” the he checked the

other side, known as the right; “Look, there is a pile of rocks here, they are

very hard; and round, and there are plenty of them!”

He walked to the right, and then he went straight on. At last he came to a

big castle, it has many traps; and so Jack decided to use the map and find clues

so that he won’t get lost…

He first came to the front door, and then he opened the map, read the

riddle; “Watch out for the monster, with two pairs of wings; and come in the

spring, it is giant, I warn you…” then he answered, “The only flying thing that

has two pairs of wings is a dragon fly!” when he said “Dragonfly”

d-r-a-g-o-n-f-l-y; a giant dragonfly flew past his eyes!

“Whoa!” shouted Jack, he then read the riddle, “look around you; use the

one, as sharp as a knife;” Jack looked around himself, then he found a big sharp

needle; it was huge! He used all his might and picked it up, and then he sprang

it to the monster. The monster fell down immediately, as if dead.

Then Jack had beaten the giant ‘Dragonfly’d-r-a-g-o-n-f-l-y, he was ready

to see the sorcerer. He was casting a spell when Jack came in, he interrupted

him; and so the sorcerer shouted, “What are you doing stranger?” he asked, “Can

you make me a pirate?” “What! Nobody has ever done that spell before;

never!”

And so Jack had to keep on being a normal boy, he was satisfied sometimes,

but also was glad that he didn’t turn into a pirate. “The map is ‘the only

magical thing’ in this world…

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.

Sincerely yours,

Tom
