感谢朋友的英语作文以信的方式（汇编20篇）

There was once a little turtle that wanted to be the fasted animal in the

jungle, everybody laughed at him and said that he could never be the fasted

animal ever. But the turtle didn’t listen to them, and instead, he decided to

learn and study from the wild hare; he was the fasted animal in the jungle oh

yes. In fact, every animal went to learn from the hare had become the fasted

runners too. When the turtle told the hare that he wanted to be the fasted

runner in the jungle, the hare laughed high over heels aloud; “Oh, oh!” cried

the hare, “Turtle, if you want to be the fasted, then you must get that big

shell of your back, Ha-ha!”

The turtle was not very happy about what he had just heard from the hare,

and he eventually decided to prove to him that it was his duty to be the fasted

runner of the jungle. “How about this, I and you have a race;” said the turtle

suddenly, the hare laughed aloud again, “Oh turtle, turtle; please don’t tell me

that you are not going to give up!” “I am not, I have the heart inside my body,

and I do not believe that I couldn’t be the fasted runner in the jungle!” the

hare then finally agreed to race with him.

When the time arrived, the turtle got ready; when the sound began to blow,

the turtle walked along slowly. While the hare in the other case hopped about

happily. “Does he really think that he could beat me?!” shouted the hare, “That

would be a dream in his brain;” said the hare again. When he was almost at the

finish line, the hare said to him, “I shall take a rest, then when I get up the

turtle still behind my tail; and I cross the finish line, using my rest energy;”

saying that, the hare lay down asleep. The turtle still didn’t give up; he soon

found the hare, and crossed him quietly, when he reached the finish line, he

cried out loud; when the hare woke up, found the turtle still wasn’t in front of

him.

He hopped about happily, and when he reached the line, he found the turtle

already resting on a rock. The hare was so shocked that he lay down on the grass

just like that he fainted. And so the turtle became the champion; nobody ever

laughed at him ever again, and whenever some animals wanted to learn running,

they did not go to ask the hare; since he was not yet the fastest any more,

instead they went to the turtle to get advice from their new jungle running

lesson teacher.

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

北京的小朋友：

你好!我参加了一个“手拉手”的活动，所以我想给你——远方的小朋友写一封信。

虽然我们未曾见过面，但我非常想把我那颗真诚的、渴望友谊的心献给你——远方的小朋友。哦!对了!我叫张朱喆，今年十一岁半，有一头超炫的小黄毛，有一双魅力的小眼睛。最令我自豪的是，我有高大挺秀的身材，全身布满着运动细胞，我喜欢参加有关运动类的活动。

我非常羡慕你们北京的小朋友。因为北京有雄伟壮观、蜿蜒盘旋的万里长城，历史悠久的故宫，还有美丽壮观的立交桥。写到这里，我就想迫不及待的想和你见面，听你们说说还有什么美不胜收的景点和让人垂涎三尺的美食。让我们拉上友谊的小手，一起等待我们见面的那一天吧!

经过我们热烈的讨论，这次的“手拉手“活动有以下几点内容：

第一，互访活动，你们可以来我的家乡，在湖北荆州，那里的风景美不胜收，空气是那么清新，天空是那么明朗。鱼糕、辣肠，都是我们家乡的特产。我们那里是一座古城，所以有很多旅游景点，比如说有历史悠久的关公庙，高大雄伟的大关公雕像，还有游乐胜地——万达广场。如果有机会，我可以当你的小导游带你游玩我的家乡。

第二，带你们去我的学校，我在广东顺德的__小学读书，学校里书声琅琅、鸟语花香、空气新鲜。有宽阔的操场，有种满奇花异草的植物园，如果你来的话，我会带你来参观我的学校，一起学习，并且互相交流把!

我的计划怎么样?假如你愿意，请尽快回信，让我们再次拉上友谊的小手，一起去等待见面的那一天吧!

祝你：

学习进步!

亲爱的郭PP：

见信好!请允许我这样称呼你，因为这样很好玩，我也有好多好多话想对你说，也许我和你说过……

我认为我和你很有缘，虽然小学时有段时间“羡慕嫉妒恨”过你，因为你总是哭，总是能哭的出来。还记得那次体育课吗?是你问我还有另一个同学的问题的，我们回答你，但却被老师批评说话罚跑10圈，而你倒好，大哭!老师都那你没办法!我也真想哭，我好委屈。还有，小学时，我的作文《我的同学》《我的朋友》《我喜欢的一个人》我都写你，那时是因为作文书中就有一大段写哭的好句，凑字数正好!=v=……没想到，到初中我们就成了朋友!我们一起玩，一起学习，一起去w.c，一起回家……这都使我感到很快乐。每次发课本，你总是会想到我，帮我拿一本;去看成绩，也不忘问我的成绩;每次无聊打你电话，你都乐意陪我聊天;你送我到车站，陪我等车，你陪我一起看电影……每一次我都会想：有你这样的朋友真好!跟你在一起我总是有话说!

记得有一次，你对我说：“小乌鸦，你是我最好的朋友”我一愣，被信任的感觉真好!我也想，你确实是我最好的朋友，你尽可能多的陪着我玩，但我感到我的责任也更重了，我们彼此都真心相待。

但我总是想逗你玩，说你的头发像“北京人”，哦不，是“山顶洞人”;把你的头发头发揉成一团糟，说这是鸡窝;每次吃好饭用我湿哒哒的手在你背后的衣服上印上我的美丽的杰作……我知道有时你有些小生气，不过你还是让着我，跟我玩……真的，很感谢有你这么好的朋友!

我有时竟然会因为你不回我短信而感到有些生气，现在想起来真的好可笑!也许是因为没看见，也许……每个人都有自己的想法和感受，我已不是小孩子，我正努力地换位思考，这样，我们彼此之间的矛盾也会减少。

中考成绩出来的那天，你让我帮你查分，“您已被宁波三中录取”(定向保送)好惊喜!我当时的心情是多么的激动，我们将要12年同校了，虽然我们将要不同班，但是我相信我们的友谊将会持续，而且会越变越坚固的!还有，别忘了我们小学时的好朋友，初中时我们“三人帮”之一，我们班的考神大大——徐莹!我们都为她考进效实中学而感到高兴!在高中的三年中，学习将会变得更紧张，我们三个尽管不能常联系，但是!时光不老，我们不散!!希望我们以后传来的都是好消息!

祝你

天天快乐

朋友们，亲爱的朋友们，你们感到孤独吗？寂寞吗？有时感到焦虑吗？如果有的话，那就和我们一起打开窗户吧！看看天空还有鸟在飞舞吗？你还能听到鸟的欢叫声吗？没有。眼前有的只是高高的水泥围墙。是的，是我们自己设置了这一道道的围墙，是我们自己不当的行为伤害了我们的朋友，使我们的朋友远离了我们，使我们再也听不到了那个久违的声音。记得孩提时代作文里描写天空的词汇非常丰富，比如莺歌燕舞、鸟语花香、鹊上枝头、喜鹊叫喳喳传来好消息、矫健的苍鹰盘旋在空中、“两个黄鹂鸣翠柳，一行白鹭上青天”等等精彩的画面，在我们今天物欲横流的时代，早已经看不到了，我们离自然越来越远，我们丢掉了本不该丢掉的东西，这是我们人类的悲哀。大自然的恩赐难道我们不要了吗？难道我们穷的就只剩下自己了吗？

我们的生活方式决定了我们的生活环境，我们的城市虽然美了，物质充裕了，但我们生态环境恶化了，我们的朋友越来越少了，我们与自然和谐相处的意识弱化了。找回来吧！找回来本该属于我们的那片天空，找回来我们曾经的记忆。还好我们的政府已经意识到了，把建设生态文明的中国放在了首位。这是民族之大幸，国之大幸。那么我们这些佛弟子该做些什么呢？现在我们“鸟人爱心”团队为此发出倡议，每年的5月2日为爱鸟日（放生日）。“鸟人”真诚敬告，希望朋友们、居室门、有爱心的人士转发此倡议书，传递一份爱心。记住我们的约定，让我们从自己做起，让我们的生活更加美好，让我们的社会更加文明、更加和谐。利及子孙，功德无量！

请记住“5.2鸟人爱鸟日”，阿弥陀佛。

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!

12 May 2006

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

I was one day reading the newspaper when I saw a little kid falling down

from the sky; I was the only one who can save him in time for I was on the first

floor. I rushed out of the building, and ran outside. I knew that this was very,

very extremely dangerous, but if the child falls down he will probably die of

pain. He brought a big blanket, and then a pillow, he calculated the area was a

100 percent sure that the child would not die. The child came falling, and

falling; “Poof!!” He landed on the pillow.

I was curious and glad that the child still had his life, and got a reward

of fifty pounds of gold and one bag of silver. I was very happy. But when it was

night time, I heard an “I’m coming,” noise. I woke up, and saw a big light, then

appeared a little flying cat! That was very, very strange. I rubbed my eyes, and

pinched everywhere to make sure that it wasn’t a dream. But it was true. The cat

said, “Hello, I am Plad, and I am a hero; with me you can transform and save the

day every time.”

I was astonished and said, “Excuse me, but why did you choose me?” the

flying cat replied. “Because that you saved a falling kid, and that was a

challenge to defeat. You are now my rightful owner.”

I put on a ring that the flying cat gave me, and went back to sleep. In the

morning, I decided to test out my transforming, “Plad, claw set!” and then a

strange thing happened, I transformed into “Cat no r !” I tried my powers, and

then I saw a sort of bug that I recognize, “Ladybug!” I was going to find her

when I found out that my ring was flashing, I said, “Claws off!” then I

transformed back. I was very excited to enjoy my first lesson of being cat no r

. I was quite astonished, and happy

At night, I thought I heard another noise, “Not again!” suddenly a round of

ball came to me again and said, “Don’t worry, I am Teeky, and you cat no r is

going to work with ladybug to defeat villains.”

I was astonished again, and then Teeky vanished from sight,

I decided to follow her, but I thought maybe next time, for I didn’t want

to bother the kid or girl or other people from sleeping.

And so I have got a job from Plad to save the world.

亲爱的远方朋友：

你好!

我们一起生长在祖国妈妈的怀抱里，一起感受祖国妈妈的温暖。一想到这儿，我就忍不住要给你写信。虽然我们从没见过面，但是，我愿意将一颗真诚的、渴望友谊的心送给你?D一个不知名的远方小朋友。

我叫刘得府，今年11岁，是一个阳光、活泼快乐的小男孩儿。乌黑的头发，我有炯炯有神的大眼睛能看得见世界所有的花花绿绿与乾坤万物，还有一双能干的手，能画出美丽的人物不管怎么样，你我有缘相聚在中华民族的大家庭里。让我们拉起友谊的双手，去真诚的等待相会的那一天吧!

我的家乡在山东省邹城市，我热爱我的家乡，我爱家乡那蓝蓝的天、清澈的水……我的家乡自古就出来很多有名的文人，我们邹城还是儒家思想孔孟的故乡呢!迷人的唐王湖，高大的峄山和护甲山，和刚山公园、铁西公园构成了我们家乡美丽的风景线。

我的学校在邹城市第一实验小学，那里的地方虽然并不大，但是我爱我的学校!我们的学校见了一个很漂亮的幼儿园，有机会可以来我我们家乡看一下。我们学校还举行了“手拉手”活动。

亲爱的朱佳玲小伙伴：

你好！

我是你的小伙伴，我们已经有两个月没见面了，还记得我吗？在寒假里，我们一起荡秋千，一起玩捉迷藏。

当我第一次到你家玩时，在路上，我还在想：你家是什么样子的呢？到了你家，我吓了一跳，在我眼前这座破烂不堪的木头小屋，不就是我每晚所说的鬼屋吗？那天，我忐忑不安地走了进去。

回到家里，我一直开心不起来，因为，每当我回想起你家的样子，你们家因为贫穷，不能装修，看到你用这儿破一点，那儿破一点的几个袋子来当书包，几个星期只穿同一件衣服，而且衣服是全是补丁，家里没有自来水，只能用井水来生活。看到这些小细节，我的眼睛湿润了，我都特别难过，所以，我就决定要尽我所能来帮助你们。

方案一：我先来到你家，体验贫困家庭的生活，与你同吃同睡，当一位山区小孩，这样，就可以在贫困小孩的角度去给予你所需要的东西。

方案二：按照生活的所需条件，为你捐赠一些生活用品和一些学习用品。如果有什么疑问，可以打电话给我，我会帮你询问，无论如何都会解决你的难题。

我会把你当成我的家人，尽可能地帮助你。

我知道，你的新年愿望是可以来杭州玩，因为你知道杭州江流襟带，山色藏幽，湖光翠秀。我已经为你办好了杭州乐园的门票，随时等待着你的到来。虽然，你们的爸爸妈妈不能带你们游山玩水，但是我坚信，你的这一天一定会到来。

最近，听说你的成绩越来越好，愿你继续保持！

祝你

天天开心！

Of course in the whole wild world, there is only one place with which is

the coldest; and that is in Antarctica.

It was a beautiful fact that once or twice a year, there was going to be a

big parade; now nobody ever heard of that story; but let me tell you all about

it, one the North pole until all the way to its opposite.

After a day or two, the magnificent magician of the great London, is ready

to travel for its reward, of saving he town from a dangerous earthquake. After

that, he helped the poor people recover and saved a lot of townspeople that were

suffering for life.

When he was fully packed to go and travel, he double checked everything had

he was going to use or should I say need. Then he went to the airport ready to

take off they always made sure safety first. When it was ready, the manager

counted, “One, two three, get set; go!” and then the plane took off. It flew a

good distance, until it reached the beach. There the man enjoyed his life, but

was not quite astonished a bit.

When he was sick of that place, he decided to change another place to enjoy

his life. And so on he hopped onto the plan. When it took off, the man was

wondering what place are they arriving now? When he opened his eyes, he found

himself in the North Pole. There he rested and enjoyed his life. When it was

time to go and find another place, he decided to go to its opposite; Antarctica.

He was so very, very, very excited.

The plane took off again, and it flew a while until they reached

Antarctica; it was quite a long trip, but when they finally landed on land, the

man as so excited that he switched on his clothes immediately and went to

play.

He was having a very good time; at last he chose his place.

He went to the manager of the airport, and said that he could now rest;

because he had finished his work in finding his place of life.

He was very glad, and when he was ready to build his home, he thought about

the penguins. He had played with them a good time; at last he finished building

his house. He had made friends with the penguins too.

Happy day!

Open the door,oh,the room is very beautiful!Whose room is this?Its my

room.

The bed is near the window.a quilt and a doll is on the bed.What color is

my bed?It’s my favourite color—purple.It’s very dreamily color.the dresser is

next to the bed.There are some books and a pen on the dresser.

I like watching TV.The TV is before the bed.I an lie to watch TV on the

bed.I have a piano.The piano is near the TV set.Sometimes,I play the piano.And

the computer is near the window.I often play the piano.

Dear Miss Nancy,

Much to my regret I was unable to keep my promise to attend your birthday

party last Saturday, owing to the fact that my little son was suddenly taken ill

early that day.

Hoping to see you soon.

Truly yours,

Tom

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 Mercy,

亲爱的梅斯，

How is everything going! Last time you said you are anxious now because you

find it hard to learn English well. Don’t worry. I think you have to improve

your English step by step. And I will right behind you. In my view, you should

develop you interest on English first. According to my experience, I think

watching English movie, listen to some wonderful English songs and talk in

English on the Internet would be helpful. Secondly, you have to prepare lessons

before class that will help you understand what the teacher says in the class. I

know you feel bored in the class, but you have force yourself to be

concentrated. A few days later you will feel it a little easy to learn English.

The left steps I will tell next time. By the way, we have not seen each other

since your family move to Hunan a year ago. Have you ever thought about going

back to visit me and learn English together in the coming Summer vacation.

Looking forward to your reply.

过得可好。上次你说你现在很焦虑因为你觉得很难学好英语。别担心。我觉得要提高英语你得一步步来。我会帮你的。在我看来，首先应该要培养你对英语的兴趣。根据我的经验，我认为看英文电影，听美妙的英文歌曲以及在互联网上与他人用英语交流会有很大的帮助。其次，你要预习，这样可以让你理解老师在课堂上说的东西。我知道你觉得上英语课很无聊，但你必须强迫自己聚精会神的听。一段时间后，你会感觉到学习英语变得容易些了。剩下的步骤下一次我会告诉你的。顺便提一下，自从一年前你们家搬到湖南后我们就没见过面。你有没有想过暑假的时候回来看看我，我们可以一起学习英语。期待你的回复。

Best wishes,

杨涵同学：

你好！

咱们从一年级开始认识，到现在为止已经有3年多时间了，而且咱们还成为了好朋友。但你从四年级开始，就转学走了，我非常想念你。今年寒假，我想邀请你来我的家乡做客。

我的家乡在安徽中部的舒城县，这里有许多美丽的地方，山清水秀，住了许多热情好客的人们。每户人家几乎都养了小鸡、小鸭，他们每天都要去照看这些小动物们。

早晨，一推开院子的大门，就能见到金灿灿的麦子，散发着淡淡的清香，蝴蝶翩翩起舞，这飞一下，那闻一下，美丽极了。也许你还会见到一些小鸡，它们早早的起床，就开始觅食了，边觅食还边四处张望，似乎在寻找它们的妈妈。极目远眺，会看到一片小树林，树林里面的小鸟这找一根树枝，那衔一根树枝，忙着撘巢呢。蝴蝶、小鸡、小鸭、田野、森林……这么美妙的早晨，就连画家也难以描绘出这么五光十色的作品。

每逢过节时，家家户户都装点得分外靓丽，人们会做桂花糕、锅巴、年糕、鸡肉、牛肉等，整个村庄都香气腾腾，热闹极了。节日的当天，根据节日的习俗，还会放鞭炮、走亲戚等。

听了我的介绍，你一定对我的家乡也很感兴趣吧，我很热情的欢迎你的到来。

最后，希望你生活愉快，学习进步。

你的好朋友陈欣玥

远方的朋友：

你好!

你什么时候来海门找我玩呢?我好想你啊!听说你想来海门玩一玩，看一看。我来给你介绍介绍吧!

海门最有名的是红烧山羊肉。端上一盆来，香味顿时弥漫在整个屋子里，令人垂涎三尺，再夹上一块，放入嘴中，入口即化，咽下肚子就感觉有一股暖流席卷全身，吃了一块还想吃一块，仿佛永远也吃不够。

吃完了海门的特色小吃，如果觉得撑了，那就去江边逛逛吧!黄昏的江边，人影摇晃，日头已经偏西了，天上晚霞万丈，白云变化多端。近处江水奔腾而来，犹如万马奔腾，气势浩大;那声音如同山崩地裂，好像大地都被震的颤抖起来。远处水天相接的地方隐隐约约可以看到那“岛中之国”崇明岛，如同一颗巨大的绿宝石，又像一只浮在水面的大乌龟。忽然人们一声呐喊，原来浪头已经从我们这儿经过了，溅起的浪花足有两三丈高，仿佛在向我们招手致意。

海门还有很多好吃好玩的地方：东灶港的船鲜，古老的余东古街……如果你来海门，我一定好好带你逛逛。

祝你身体健康，学习进步!
