I am writing to you just to tell you how very much I appreciate the warm welcome you extended to my wife when she visited your country last week.
The help and advice you gave her, and the introduction you arranged for her, have resulted in a number of very useful meetings and I should like you to know how very grateful I am for all you have done to make them possible.
I realize the value of time to a busy person like you and this makes me all the more appreciative of the time you so generously gave to her.
Yours Sincerely, Michael Jackson

Dear Danny, How are you getting on I Harvard? I hope everything is going well and you are enjoying studies. I am writing to ask you for some information as I am planning to come and study in the U.S. next year. I have applied to Harvard to take the course in Finance.
Could you tell me what I have to do to obtain a study visa and how long it will take? The university said that I also have to take out insurance before I come to the U.S.. How do I do this? I’d be grateful if you could give me this information. I would also be thankful if you could tell me what I should bring with me, for example, clothes, books, or anything else I cannot get in the U.S..
I am sure that studying in a college overseas has not been without at least some problems with you. Adapting to a new culture and environment was probably also a tough job. Have you had any problems that I should watch out for? I’d appreciate any advice you can give me.

January 12th, 2002
Dear Mr. President, I am a sophomore majoring I Civic Engineering. I am writing to you to say something about the canteen service on campus.
On the whole, students are somewhat satisfied with the canteen service. For one thing, the canteen is beautifully decorated, clean, bright and spacious, which definitely impresses students at first sight, thus making it a pleasant place for students to have dinner in. For another, the canteen staff are always friendly, fairly enthusiastic and willing to help students. Once one student fell on the ground and got seriously injured, and several members of staff took him to hospital without the slightest hesitation. There, however, do exist some problems that require solving. In the first place, what students are most concerned about is the prices of dishes as most of students are largely dependent on their parents in terms of daily expenses. The comparatively high price is the biggest barrier to students having a delicious meal with sufficient nutrition, which surely will contribute to our ineffectiveness in our studies. Thus it is advisable that the canteen should cut down on the price so as to guarantee that every student can afford a delectable and nutritious diet. In the second place, some students complain that there is hardly any diversity in dishes. In this case, students’ appetite is spoiled.. sometimes, they would rather have some bread than the same dishes in the canteen. It would be desirable that more variety should be added to dishes.
Students live on campus and the school is referred to as their home. Therefore, it is important that the school should be made a comfortable place where students can enjoy a happy life and acquire much knowledge. We students look forward to a day when we will have a delicious food at a reasonable price.
Yours, Li Ming

Directions:
going to visit you during the week-long holiday. You should write at least 120 words according to the suggestions given (in Chinese) below: 1. 表示欢迎
2. 提出度假安排的建议 3. 提醒应注意的事项
June 23, 2001
Dear Xiao Wang,
Words failed me to express my excitement when I learned that you would like to spend your holiday together with me. It has been three years since we graduated from high school. I miss you so much that I even can’t wait to see you. Now that it will be the first time you visit Beijing, I am sure that your journey will be exciting, rewarding and full of a lot of fun. I’ve made a rough plan for this holiday as follows. On the first day you arrive here, I will show you around our new campus. Especially, I will take you to visit our newly-built modern library. During the second three days, we’d better go sightseeing around Beijing. We can visit some famous scenic spots and historical sites, such as Summer Palace, the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, etc. On the fifth day, we can visit the Beijing Zoo, since you are quite interested in wild animals. The next day, we can do some shopping. There are many splendid markets and plazas in Beijing. On the last day, you can have a good rest before setting off. If there is anything inconvenient for you in this plan, please let me know immediately. By the way, since lots of people will go traveling in this holiday, it must be crowded on the train. So you should take care of your luggage. Bring more clothes with you because Beijing is much colder than Kunming at this time. And don’t forget to tell me when you will arrive so that I’ll pick you up at the airport.
I am looking forward to your reply and wish you a good journey.
Yours,
Zhang Ying
