Dear David,
How nice to hear from you again. Now let me tell you something about the beautifying work on Beijing for the 2008 Olympic Games. Our slogan is “Green Olympic”. 12.2 billion dollars will be spent on this project. A lot more trees, flowers and grass will be planted in many places to make Beijing more beautiful. We will use clean energy and try out best to make waste water clean and reuse it. In 2008, you will see Beijing as beautiful as a garden, with cleaner water and a clearer sky.
I look forward to meeting you in Beijing in 2008.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
2. 你叫李红，一周前去香港度假时在一家商店买了一件女上衣，现有质量问题。请结合下面提示向该店外籍经理写一封英文信。
所购衣物：绿色女上衣，价格300元
问题：洗涤时退色，并说明理由。
要求：退款或换衣，并说明理由。
就此事发表看法或提出建议。
Dear Sir/Madam,
I’m writing to you to complain about the quality of a green blouse which I bought in your shop while I was on holiday in Hong Kong about a week ago. I bought it for 268 yuan in your shop, but there seems to be something wrong with it. When it is washed, the color fades away. Now I can’t possibly wear it. It’s not my fault, so I’d like you to solve the problem for me. I insist you change it for another one for me or give me my money back (refund the money). I think it’s better for you to make sure that everything in your shop is good. Then you will have more customers.
I’m looking forward to your early reply.
Sincerely,
Li Hong

Dear Li Ming,
I hop you are very well. I’m glad to tell you that my parents have agreed to let me go to your country this summer. The first city I plan to visit is Beijing, where I will stay for a week, and then I will go to your city by train to see you and your parents. As we haven’t met before, I’m afraid there will be some difficulty in meeting each other, and I’m also afraid that it will not be easy for me to find your house. So please tell me how to get in touch with you while I stay in Beijing and how to meet or find you when I arrive in your city.
Please give my regards to your parents.
Best wishes
Jack

You don’t have to worry about our meeting each other in my city. Now let me tell you what to do. When you have got the train ticket for my city in Beijing, please telephone me. My phone number is ~. I will pick you up at the station. When you get out of the station, you will see me holding up a little board, which reads “Welcome, Jack!” We will surely meet there.
I look forward to seeing you soon.

I’m very glad to learn from your last letter that you’re coming to Beijing and want to buy an apartment in Beijing. I happened to see an advertisement in a newspaper, which may be suitable for you. The apartment building lies in the center of the city. It is very convenient for you to travel anywhere from here. It is made up of (It consists of) six rooms—a living room, a dining room, two bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom. A newly built parking lot (停车场) lies in front of the apartment building. There are a large lawn and many trees around it, which makes the air here very fresh. I’d like to know your opinion about the apartment.
If you’re interested in it, just call me. I’m looking forward to your reply.
Best wishes to you!
Yours truly,

10. 假如你是李明。请以A Big Funeral Is Too Late为题，向一家英文报纸写一封信，批评子女虐待老人，老人死后却又花钱大操大办丧事的不良社会风气。
1. 举一例虐待老人的事例(在住、吃、治病方面)，但老人死后儿子花钱大办丧事的事例。
2. 发表你自己的看法。
A Big Funeral Is Too Late
Dear editor,
I’m writing to you to draw our attention to one of bad social customs – ill-treating the old while they are alive but holding a big funeral after their death.
Grandma Li was my neighbor, who died last month. The old lady had three sons. All of them had grown up and got married, but none of them wanted to take care of her. They let her live in a small dark room. They gave her little food. When she got ill, they refused to take her to hospital.
But to my surprise, the old lady’s sons spent a lot of money on her funeral. The funeral lasted several days, and scores of cars and trucks were used on the day when the old lady was buried.
What is the use of such a big funeral for the old lady? It is too late for her. We should take care of old parents while they are alive instead of spending so much money on them when they are dead.
Yours faithfully,
Li Ming

Dear Prof. Wang,
I write this note to express my great apology/regret to you as I failed to turn up for the appointment with you yesterday afternoon. To be frank, I did remember to meet you at your office when my father suddenly had a stomachache and I had to send him to a nearby hospital. Then I gave you a phone to call off the meeting but the line was busy. I intend to arrange another appointment if it takes no further trouble for you. I am wondering if it is convenient for us to meet next Monday morning. I am expecting an early reply from you.
Sincerely yours,

I think you should take a complete physical checkup and find out the real trouble it the illness persists. My help will be available if you need any help. Wish you good health.
Sincerely yours,
Li Ming
