　　亲爱的先生： 　　

　　

　　我的名字叫李华。我写信是为了表达我对现代媒体对美国学生的影响的关注。 　　

　　

　　如今，iPads在我们学校非常流行。许多学生认为拥有一台苹果平板电脑是一种时尚。毫无疑问，有了它我们可以听音乐，下载学习资料，等等。换句话说，它有助于我们的学习，尤其是我们的英语学习。 　　

　　

　　然而，每个硬币都有两面。有些同学把板电脑带到教室听音乐，破坏了我们的学习氛围。更糟糕的是，有些人甚至把宝贵的时间浪费在玩游戏上。 　　

　　

　　在我看来，学校是一个我们应该把注意力集中在课程上的地方，所以板电脑应该在课堂上被禁止。我希望你能考虑我的建议。 　　

　　

　　我期待着你的早日答复。 　　

　　

　　你的， 　　

　　

　　李华

　　嗨伙计们， 　　

　　

　　对你来说是个好消息！2015年5月四日将在我校报告厅举行卡拉好的晚会。新华中学学生会组织的晚会将于下午7:00开始，持续约两个小时。欢迎喜欢英语歌曲的老师和学生参加晚会。 　　

　　

　　我想邀请你参加聚会，并希望和你一起唱一首英文歌。如果方便的话，我希望你能接受我的邀请。让我们尽情享受吧。详情请致电89346752。 　　

　　

　　期待您的早日回复。 　　

　　

　　你的，

　　我们学校的高中毕业生对如何选择课程和大学有不同的看法。 　　

　　

　　大约35%的学生认为选择应该基于他们自己的兴趣。他们说兴趣是成功之母。不得不把大部分时间花在学习自己不感兴趣的东西上是一件很痛苦的事情。 　　

　　

　　然而，大多数学生坚持认为应该主要考虑我们社会的需求 　　

iety. They argue that not everyone can find the job they like best. Besides, interest is not something unchangeable. We can always develop it.

　　

Interestingly, about 20% of the students find it difficult to make a choice and would rather depend on their parents or teachers to make a decision for them.

Dear friends,

　　

In recent years, with the popularity of the Internet, many of us devote a great deal of time to it. As a consequence, we don't write as well as we did in the past. In order to protect our Chinese characters and improve our handwriting, we'd like to offer some suggestions:

　　

To begin with, we are supposed to spend less time online so that we can have more time to read books. We'd better form the habit of keeping diaries every day to practice handwriting. Besides, it is better to write letters to our relatives and friends by hand rather than send e-mails. Beautiful handwriting is beneficial to us students. So please pay more attention to our handwriting.

Should students make friends on line? Some people say yes. The internet helps make many friends. Chatting on line, students can more freely express their feelings and opinions and even get help with their foreign language studies.

　　

Others, however, think students should not. They say making friends on line is a waste of time, which should be spent more meaningfully on study. Besides, some students get cheated on line.

　　

I hold the view that students should place their study, health and safety before other things. As for friendship, we can find it in our classmates and other people around us.

Guangming High School is in the west of the city. When you enter the school gate, you can find the teaching building on your left and the gymnasium on your right. Walking on further, you can see a round building which is the library in the middle of the campus. The building on the northwest corner serves as the dining hall and the building opposite it on the northeast corner is the students 'dormitory.

　　

The high school has a history of nearly 100 years. There are about 5000 students studying here and a teaching staff of about 300. The campus covers an area of 24000 square meters with bushes and flowers surrounding every building, which provides a quiet and beautiful environment for the students.

I am a Senior 3 student. I often quarrel with my parents over whether I can watch TV after school.

　　

My parents hold the opinion that I should study hard so that I will have more choices in the future. Besides, they consider that it is harmful to my eyes to watch TV too often. But in my view, it is TV that gives me something that I am interested in. In addition, it may relax my mind when I am tired, in which case the efficiency of my study will be improved.

　　

In the end we reached an agreement. Only at weekends am I allowed to watch TV, however, the programs are limited to news, sports and entertainment, not including TV plays. This agreement is acceptable to me for it is beneficial to my study and life.

Ladies and gentlemen, I feel it a great honor to have a chance to give a speech here, talking about fog and haze weather. Since the end of last year, fog and haze weather has occurred a lot in some areas of China, which has done great harm to our daily life. Many traffic accidents happened because of the bad weather. Besides, more and more citizens have to go to see the doctor because of the serious disease caused by the fog and haze.

　　

We should take measures to reduce fog and haze weather. The government should suggest people go to work or school with the public transportation. Also more trees should be planted. As for me，I will go to school by bike or on foot.

　　

Would you join us in protecting the environment?

　　

Thank you.

Attention, please everyone! Welcome to this resort!

　　

You are lucky enough to arrive here at the very season to visit the famous place of interest, for a great many flowers are in full bloom.

　　

Before we climb up the mountain, I have something important to tell you. Firstly, you're expected to stay with the group all the time and not fall far behind the others; otherwise, it will cause a lot of trouble. Secondly, while climbing up the mountain, mind your steps to avoid possible accidents along the narrow paths. Last but the most important, smoking is strictly forbidden in the area in case of forest fires.

　　

I hope you'll have a pleasant trip. Enjoy your time！

Dear Sir,

　　

My name is Liu Yang, from Hope High School in Jinan. I'm glad to get the news that Hong Kong University will have independent recruitment in mainland, so I would like to apply for it.

　　

I am eighteen, studying in Senior 3. I am sociable, easy-going and good at communicating with others. Besides, I am quite independent and it is easy for me to adapt to a new environment. As a senior student, I have been working hard at my lessons and managed to get high grades. All these will enable me to continue my study in your university. What's more, my hobbies are playing basketball and football and I am also good at playing the violin.

　　

Looking forward to your reply.

　　

Yours sincerely,

　　

Liu Yang

Hi, Grown-up,

　　

As a student of your age, I understand your situation. The problem you are facing is common among us teenagers. But there is no doubt that every mother loves her own kid, so under no circumstances should you do anything that may hurt your mother's feelings. Here are a few tips.

　　

First, it's essential that you talk more with your mom. I suppose that heart-to-heart communications can help you understand each other better. They are also opportunities for her to know your ideas, desires and attitudes toward many things.

　　

Second, you should learn to do your own things well, which proves to your mom that you are already a "grown-up". It's even better if you could share some of the housework, such as cleaning, washing and cooking.

　　

I hope my suggestions will be of some help to you.

　　

（十二）

　　

I'm always grateful to my parents. They not only gave me life, but also brought me up with selfless love and support, feeling so proud of my every tiny bit of progress. Now I'm in Senior 3, and luckily for me, my parents can understand my stressful condition and often encourage me to overcome difficulties. Furthermore, they give me enough personal space, which I appreciate so much. So, I have been coping with both my studies and my life well recently.

　　

What I should do now is to keep on studying hard in order to be admitted into a famous university. When I become independent economically in the future, I will help my parents live a better life.

Hi Marc,

　　

I feel sorry to learn that you are bored with your obesity. Teenagers usually care much about their figures, so obesity may be annoying. Though being fat is a problem, it is not everything. Fat people can still live a happy life. Therefore, don't be upset.

　　

Anyway, you will have to get rid of your bad habits. First of all, taking enough exercise is the most practical way and it is important to make it a rule to do it every day. Then, do not eat too much junk food any more, which is also harmful to your health.

　　

I'm sure your problem will be settled so long as you take action.

　　

Yours,

　　

Li Hua

Good morning, everyone!

　　

My name is Li Hua. I am greatly honored to share my experience in studying English. In today's world, mastering a foreign language will be helpful in our life. Here are my learning methods.

　　

First, I think it useful to learn some grammar and remember as many useful sentence patterns as I believe the more we read, the better our English will be. So I spend much time reading English newspapers and magazines after class, which helps to improve my English. Besides, TV and radio programs are of great help.

　　

Learning English not only increases my awareness of foreign cultures but also helps me to communicate with English-speaking people and to make more new friends. However, sometimes I get discouraged because I keep forgetting words I have just learned. Could Mr. David and my dear friends give me some practical advice?

　　

Thanks for your attention!

Dear editor,

　　

I'm writing to tell you something about what I saw while traveling during the holiday.

　　

I was so surprised to see so many immoral behaviors in public. For example, some people spit at will wherever they go. Some scratch their names on the walls or other buildings, which does great damage to them. Some just litter here and there.

　　

As far as I'm concerned, it's high time we did something to help improve the situation. First, certain laws should be passed to make sure people won't damage the environment. Meanwhile, our TV, newspapers, the Internet and other media should also take responsibility to guide people to be more friendly to the environment.

　　

Most importantly, we travelers should learn to be responsible for what we do. Only when each of us is aware of the importance can we make it a better world.

　　

Best wishes!

　　

Yours,

　　

Li Hua

Hello, everybody! Nowadays, people keep dogs or cats as pets. But sometimes some get lost while being walked. Still some are left alone outside. More and more homeless animals become seriously sick or starving. We must do something to protect them.

　　

We can learn how to rescue animals by attending training classes. With what we learn we can work as volunteers in the animal rescue centers. Besides, when seeing homeless pets in need, we can adopt them, providing daily care for them.

　　

The public are to be educated about the importance of caring for homeless animals. Animals are friends of human beings. They also have the right to be safe and loved.

　　

Thank you!

Dear Mike,

　　

How are things going? In your last letter you talked about low carbon life. Now I'd like to share my understanding of it and my experiences in the past few months.

　　

With the environment problem coming into attention, it is extremely important that we take action to protect our planet. As more people are determined to make a difference, low carbon lifestyle provides us with the perfect opportunity to do it.

　　

Interestingly, our school called on students to develop a low carbon lifestyle and become a responsible citizen several months ago. In response to the appeal, I have made some changes in my way of life, which range from transportation to water saving. For example, instead of asking my parents to drive me to school, I take a bus to and from school. just like my schoolmates, I now refuse to use disposable chopsticks. At home, I even persuade my parents to reuse water, even though it is not so convenient. TV and computer are important entertainment for my family, but we sometimes read instead, which, I think, may help relieve the shortage of electricity.

　　

I'm really glad to communicate with you about this topic.

　　

Yours

　　

Chen Yu

Dear Mrs. Clemens,

　　

I'm writing to make an apology to you. Much as I like your English class, I was absent from your test. Last weekend, I was happily skating when suddenly I fell by accident and had my left arm broken.

　　

I'd like to ask you to give me a chance to take a make-up test. Please let me know when it is convenient for you after you make the arrangement. In addition, I'd also like to know your homework for me, such as the reading list for books and the essay to write. Finally, I'd appreciate it if you could tell me the requirements for homework.

　　

I'm so sorry to have to put you to so much trouble. Wish you all the best!

　　

Looking forward to your early reply .

　　

Yours,

　　

Li Hua

Being a Popular Student

　　

We all hope to be popular with our classmates and teachers. To enjoy popularity, we are supposed to regard the class as our big family and try our best to take an active part in all our class activities. We should be responsible for the work and keep teamwork spirit in mind.

　　

To be a popular student, we must show our respect, concern and sympathy for others. As a result, we never hesitate to lend a hand to those in need.

　　

To be a popular student, we ought to be strict with ourselves in everything we do at school and make an effort to achieve all-round development, being good not only at our lessons but also at sports, music, painting, social services and so on．In time of success we remain modest, while in time of difficulty we keep strong-minded.

　　

All in all, being a popular student among the classmates and teachers comes naturally to those who keep improving their personal qualities.

Our monitor suggests that we have "Friday News Hour". I think it is a good idea.

　　

Everyone knows that we are busy all day. Seldom do we know what is happening both at home and abroad, let alone what we can do for our country. By reading newspapers we can get more information about the world outside. So I think "Friday News Hour" can broaden our mind and enrich our life. What's more, it will help us improve our reading skills.

　　

As for my suggestion, I think it is better to have it twice a week. And we should make a choice about what we will read. I am sure everyone will benefit a lot from this activity.
