Dear Mary,

I have been living in Beijing for some time now and I find it very interesting here.

There are so many similarities between Beijing and London. They are both the capital of the country and are both very important cities. Both places have huge populations. They are both the economical, political and cultural center. They both have many historical and cultrual

I also found many differences in the two cities. In London we drive on the left side of the road, while in Beijing they drive on the right side. Most people in London go to work via public transportation, here in Beijing most people rides bycicles. In London the weather is always cloudy, here in Beijing most the the time it s sunny. And in London most student don t spend their time efficiently, but here in Beijing many people speak English cause they study hard.

Regards,

Peter

尊敬的潘爷爷：

您好，你还记得我吗？我就是和几位同学一起来拜访您的潞中七（五）班学生-邢秀敏呀！也许“您贵人多忘事”把我忘了，但我却永远无法忘记那一幕幕，说不清为什么，可能是出于我对军人的敬佩，可能是您的大无私精神让我久久不能忘怀，也可能使您那和蔼可亲的笑容已深深印在我的脑海中吧……

新学期还未开学，我和班上的几位同学同班主任一起去拜访了您，一路上我们边骑车边议论着见到您的情形，还在一遍一遍的联系着怎么样与您打招呼，因为我们敬重你，敬重军人，敬重党员！

下了车，我们迫不及待的冲到你的家门前，我激动的“砰—砰”直跳怀里想踹了几只兔子似得。老师按下了门铃，过了一会，屋子出来一位老奶奶，我们向他说明来意：想探望一下潘爷爷。奶奶十分热情，把我们请到家中。刚走进你家首先映入眼帘的就是一张毛主席的画像和几张海陆空的海报。我的眼前好像浮现出当年的那个热爱共产党，热爱中国人民，热爱中国，理想远大，热爱军队，军纪严明的那个您！

老奶奶交出了您，只见您缓缓地从楼梯上走下来，步伐沉重，固然没有了当年的身姿矫健！老奶奶说如今的您，脸上早已有了岁月“走”过的痕迹，—皱纹似调皮的像个小孩似得在您额头上安家落户了！白发也毫不留情的在您的头上扎了根，岁月告诉您，您老了。但岁月无法改变的是您骨子里透出来的那与别人不同的风采，我看到了！

我们几个甜甜地对您说道：潘爷爷“您好！”您也是慈祥地答应：“孩子们，你们也好，也好啊！说完，您便客气的让我们坐下，坐下后，您便谈起来以前您和您的战友之间的故事。我们听地可入迷了！

您叹了口气，眼角里含着些许泪花，说道：“我以前有个战友，我和他是一辈子的朋友，战场上，我们是兄弟，生活上我们可是挚友，我们曾许下诺言‘不求同月同日生，但求同年头月同日死！，但他却……撇下了我一个人走了”说到这儿您哽咽了，从您的眼神里，我看得出您对战友的爱！“那是在一次战争中，他为了救另一个战友自己牺牲了，临死前，是他唯一的一个心愿：“希望我好好活下去，才支撑我活到现在！”在您的身上我懂得了朋友是永远的，友谊是永恒的！然而，听了您下面的这番话！我惊呆了。您说，那个战友之前跟你关系不好，他曾今害你差点受到处分，而您却不计前嫌，再一次战争中救了他的命。之后，您便于他成为了特要好的朋友！潘爷爷，我被您的无私深深感染了，一丝敬重之情油然而生！

爷爷，在和您交谈中我受益匪浅，我从您身上学到了自律与无私。作为一个团员，平时在班上，我并没有很好的起到带头模范作用，而在您身上，我看到了那中以身作则。从那以后，我便更加严格要求自己，做好本职工作，给同学们树立起良好的榜样！

潘爷爷，你是屹立在悬崖峭壁的寒梅，暗香浮动您是蔚蓝的辽阔无垠的蓝天，底色长青！

祝您身体健康，万事如意！

此敬

敬礼！

邢秀敏

Dear John,

Long time no see, how is your summer vacation? I’m really sorry for writing

so late. I have been too busy at this moment. I am happy to hear that you have

traveled to Tibet at this summer holiday. How I wish I could go there with

you!

Let me tell you something about my summer holiday. My summer holiday is

rich and colorful. My parents take me to Hong Kong. That’s a beautiful place. I

buy a lot of funny things at there. Such as pretty dresses, cute dolls and the

snacks I never eat before. I really want to stay there and never come back! In a

word, I really appreciate the life there.

I’m really looking forward to your reply!

Truly yours,

Zoey

书信我们分为两部分：信封和内容。

1、信封的写法。

英语信封正面的左上角，写发信人的姓名和地址。在信封的正面中央偏左一点，写收信人的地址和姓名。

英语信封上的地点名称由小到大，视其长短可占二至五行不等。

寄信人只写姓名，不写头衔。但是，收信人一般都在名字前加上头衔，以示礼貌和尊敬。对于没有官衔和学衔的人士，通常在姓名前写上Mr., Mrs.,或Ms.。

信封的写法，一般来说，很少出现在中考英语的作文中。

2、内容。

英文信一般可以分为下列几个部分。

1)信端(Heading)即写信人的地址和发信日期。

2)收信人姓名地址

3)称呼

4)信的正文

5)结束语

6)签名

有的时候，出题者会让考生写e-mail。e-mail的写法和书信的写法基本一致。只不过少了书信在信封上的繁琐。

根据中文大意，写出意思连贯、符合逻辑、不少于50词的短文。

假设你叫王明，昨天收到了笔友David的e-mail，得知他不久要到北京来学习中文。他想了解如何学好中文。请你用英文给他回复一封e-mail，介绍学习中文的体会和方法，提出你的建议，以及表达你帮助他学好中文的愿望。

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,

Wang Ming

With best wishes. I’m looking forward to your reply. I’d appreciate it if you could reply earlier.

Last year, I went to Guilin for travel, it was a great trip for me. I not only had a look at the beautiful scenery, but also made friends. I knew a lovely girl from America, we met each other on the train. As we were almost at the same age, we communicated a lot. We shared our opinion about the culture and learned a lot. When our train reached the destination, we needed to separate, we promised to keep in touch by the Internet. Now a year has passed, we make our promise and keep in touch all the time. I have improved my English and she is so interested in China. It seems that we can never finish our topic, because we always have so much to share with each other. I am so lucky to make a good friend.

去年,我去了桂林旅游,对我来说这是一次完美的旅行。我不仅看了美丽的风景,也交到了朋友。我认识了一个可爱的来自美国的女孩,我们在火车上相遇。由于我们几乎在同一个年龄,我们交流了很多。我们分享各自的文化,学到了很多。当火车到达目的地时,我们要分开了,我们承诺通过网络保持联系。现在一年过去了,我们旅行了承诺,保持着联系。我提高了我的英语,她对中国也感兴趣。似乎我们总有说不完的话题,因为我们总是有那么多东西要相互分享。我很幸运交到了一个好朋友。

[一位来自美国的朋友英语作文

After entering junior high school, everything changed. Environment better, homework more, even friends also changed. In this completely unfamiliar environment, I made a new friend, wang.

I met with him in the first day of school, when he was sitting in front of me, because I want to ask him a question, he turned his head, I see his appearance, pianpian head, a little fat face, healthy wheat color skin and tall. Well, look good, you can make a friend with him. I thought at that time. So, I make the junior high school of the first friends.

With the deepening of our friendship, I to his influence is also getting better and better. But I sit up and take notice, or another thing.

It was over a weekend, many classmates and I went to a strange place to play, including wang, playing to a half, I suddenly found that I lost my wallet, I immediately have no interest in playing, anxious to think: how to do? Wheres my wallet? If I went back for it, the students will surely leave me a person, and I dont, how to do? I immediately like ants on a hot pan - around.

Aside wang saw my anxious, what was asked. I lost my wallet told the students, the students no response, is blunt I said: "you lost the wallet will go to bai, we not to accompany you, bye bye!" Alas, worry about a thing was happened, they were abandoned me, alas! Sighing in my heart.

All of a sudden, wang stood out in silence, he patted his chest, ambitious to say: "dont be afraid, I accompany you to!"

The words that I already hurt my heart, nice to get up: this is a true friend, a time of crisis, to help a friend obligatory, this is a true friend! I sighed with emotion.

Afterwards, I couldnt find my wallet, but compared to harvest a real friendship, compared to the wallet again calculate what? Xiao wang, is my true friend!

进入初中后，一切都变了。环境变好了、作业变多了、连朋友也换了。就在这完全陌生的环境中，我结交了一位新朋友——小王。

我和他的相识是在开学的第一天，那时他正坐在我前面，因为一个问题我想向他请教，他转过头来时，我看清楚了他的长相，扁扁的头、稍微有点胖的脸、健康的小麦色的肌肤与高高的个子。嗯，长得不错，可以和他交一下朋友。那时我心里想着。于是，我结交了初中的第一个朋友。

随着我们友谊的加深，我对他的影响也越来越好。但令我对他刮目相看的，还是另一件事。

那是在一个周末，我和很多同学一起去一个陌生的地方玩，其中也包括小王，玩到一半，我突然发现我的钱包不见了，我立刻没有了玩的兴趣，焦急的想：怎么办啊?钱包去哪了?如果我回去找，同学们肯定会丢下我一个人的，我又不识路，怎么办啊?我顿时像一只热锅上的蚂蚁——团团转。

一旁的小王看出了我的焦急，忙问什么事。我把我钱包丢了的事告诉了同学们，同学们没什么反应，都冲我说：“你钱包丢了就会去找呗，我们不陪你了，拜拜!”唉，担心的事情果然发生了，他们果然丢下了我，唉!我在心里叹着气。

突然，在一旁沉默不语的小王站了出来，他拍拍胸脯，豪言万丈地说：“不用怕，我陪你去!”

这句话令我本来已经伤了的心又好了起来：这就是真正的朋友啊，危急时刻不离不弃，帮朋友的忙义不容辞，这就是真正的朋友啊!我在心里感叹着。

后来，我还是没有找到钱包，但是比起收获了一段真正的友情相比，钱包又算得了什么呢?小王，是我真正的朋友!

I have many friends, but Jim is one of my best friends. He is not handsome,

but kind-hearted. We know each other at primary school. He was the tallest in

our class at that time. He is good at study and playing basketball, while bad at

playing table tennis. Everytime he has delicious food, he will give it to me.

Moreover, whenever I feel sad, he will play with me and comfort me. However, he

is not spoilt me. For example, everytime I meet difficulties in study, I would

like to copy his, but no matter what I say, he never give his homework to me to

copy. Instead he teaches how to do it. All in all, no matter what difficulties I

meet, he will help me. It is him make me realize that a friend in need is a

friend indeed.

The word, friend, covers a wide range of meanings. It can be a nodding acquaintance, a comrade, a confidant, a partner, a playmate, an intimate colleague, etc.

Everyone needs friendship. No one can sail the ocean of life single-handed. We need help from, and also give help to, others. In modern society, people attach more importance to relations and connections. A man of charisma has many friends. His power lies in his ability to give.

As life is full of strife and conflict, we need friends to support and help us out of difficulties. Our friends give us warnings against danger. Our friends offer us advice with regard to how do deal with various situations. True friends share not only our joys but also our sorrows.

With friendship, life is happy and harmonious. Without friendship, life is sad and unfortunate. I have friends in high positions and friends in the rank and file. Some are rich and in power. Some are relatively poor and without power. Some are like myself, working as a teacher, reading and writing, content with a simple life. We all care for each other, love and help each other. We feel we are happiest when we chat and exchange ideas with one another. With my friends, I know what to treasure, what to tolerate and what to share.

I will never forget my old friends, and Ill keep making new friends. I will not be cold and indifferent to my poor friends, and I will show concern for them, even if it is only a comforting word.

[参考译文]

“朋友”这个词的意义很广。朋友可以是点头之交、同志、知已、伙伴、玩伴、亲密的同事等。

人人都需要友谊，没有人能独自在人生的海洋中航行。我们给人以帮助，也需要别人的帮助。在现代社会，人们更重视关系和联系。一个有非凡魅力的人有许多朋友，他的力量在于他的奉献能力。

生活充满矛盾和斗争，我们需要朋友的支持，以帮助我们摆脱困境。朋友提醒我们警惕险滩。朋友主动给我们以忠告，告诉我们如何应付各种不同的局势。真正的朋友与我们同甘共苦。

有了友谊，生活幸福、和谐；没有友谊，生活变得悲伤、不幸。我有地位高的朋友，也有地位低的朋友；有的有钱有权，有的较穷且无权无势。有的和我一样教书，读读写写，满足于简朴的生活。我们都互相关心，互相爱护，互相帮助。我们觉得朋友们在一起闲谈交流思想时感到最开心。对我的朋友们，我知道该珍惜什么，容忍什么，分享什么。

我决不会忘记老朋友，同时继续结交新朋友。我对穷朋友绝不冷漠，而是关心他们，哪怕只是一句安慰的话。

Zeng Qiao is one of my friends. She is a beautiful, outgoingand good-tempered girl. She smiles frequently. I think it’s her smile that makes her beauty. We live in the same dormitory, so that we always stay together, no matter going to classroom or having dinners. At first, I don’t like her very much, because she is always talking. It seems that she can’t stop open her mouth. I am a little bit quiet and introverted, so I seldom talk to others. But gradually, I find that she can have influence on others by what she says. Zeng Qiao likes sharing interesting things with others. For example, she likes telling us her funny stories of her childhood or her former classmates. She always tells me that I should be more extroverted and learn to talk to others. Under the influence of her, I communicate with others more frequently and I find that it feels so great. I am so grateful that I can have such a good friend.

曾巧是我的一个朋友，她是个漂亮活泼，脾气又好的女孩子。她很喜欢笑，我觉得是她的笑容使她看上去漂亮。我们住同一间宿舍，因此不管是去教室还是吃饭都形影不离。之前我并不喜欢她，我认为她太喜欢说话了，总是停不住她的嘴。相反我性格内向，喜欢安静，很少跟别人说话。但是渐渐地，我发现她是个善于用言语影响别人的女孩子，她喜欢跟别人分享有趣的事，那些童年的故事或是以前同学的事情。她经常开导我要变得外向，多试着跟别人说话。在她的影响下，我跟别人交流也更多了，并且发现这感觉非常好。我觉得有这样的朋友很幸运!

There is an old Chinese saying: Top students come from strict teachers.

Perhaps affected by this saying for a long time, we believe it right. However,

as time flies, lots of things have changed. Therefore, I am eager to discuss

what relation is the best between teachers and students.A teacher can treat a

student in two ways .One is strict, and the other is friendly. Most teachers

prefer the first way.To start with, we certainly have to admit that strictness

is very effective, especially to the naughty pupils.

As pupils we aren’t able to control ourselves well or fix our attention on

one thing for a long time. We do most things because they are interesting or we

feel like doing. We are always looking out of the window in class. Sometimes, we

get to play games and forget our homework. On this occasion, strictness is a

must. It not only forces us to do the right thing, but also helps us develop a

good learning habit, which is of great importance during our whole life .In

other words, it is the first step to success.Still, everything has two sides.

Its weak points are very obvious. You see, there’re top students in a class,

where average students make up the majority. Then teachers’ orders or

suggestions are for the majority, not for top students. However, top students

always have their own study plans and prefer special homework, so orders usually

won’t take great effect on them.

Maybe you have thought out that teachers can give orders only to the

majority and set some freedom to top students. However, it’s impossible .For a

whole class, teachers couldn’t give order to part of the class, for the majority

would question why they needn’t do such work, but we need? It would be probable

that they think teachers treat them not equally, and will not obey teachers’

orders any more. This is a difficulty for teachers.It also has another

disadvantage——the communication problem .Since teachers are strict, we never

tell teachers our personal affairs or secrets. Mostly we just tell them to our

friends, but as students too, they couldn’t help to solve our problem, such as

puppy love, communication problems or study problems .Not being solved

completely, they always disturb us, influencing our daily life and study. I’m

sure that you think that making friends with teachers can solve the problem, and

you are eager to do so as well. But if we do so, new problems will come out .You

see, an adult couldnt control himself well at times, let alone us students.

However if teachers are our friends, I doubt whether their orders will take

effect any more .You see, have we ever treated our friends’ orders as orders? We

think they’re only jokes. This is another difficulty for teachers.Additionally,

our parents have the same problem. Yes, we need to be friends, but not complete

friends. We need to keep a certain distance, making us communicate well and

willing to take your orders. I remember a story.One day, a lady had her rest

room decorated. And a skilled worker was bricking up the wall. Seeing large

cracks between the bricks, she questioned why. The worker told her after this

summer, the bricks would become bigger, and those cracks would disappear.That is

not only decoration, but also communication. The principle is the same.

Mike is my good friend. Any time I need help, he will come to me. One day after school, I had to stay and clean the classroom with Group Three. But they were still playing outside without any sign to go back. So Mike came and helped me clean the floor. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
