日常交往书信

Part 1　文章示例

Dear Sue,

How are you?

I'm Li Hua, one of your students in China. You are definitely one of the best English teachers we have ever had, not only because of your fluent spoken English, but also for your humor, patience and love that you showed to every student. We have never stopped missing you since your departure. Your well-prepared classes, your warm and encouraging smiles, and even your criticisms have become some of our best memories in high school.

After you left for America, a new English teacher, Miss Li, came. Although she doesn't have much teaching experience, her classes are so interesting and creative that we all enjoy them very much. As we approach Senior 3, our school work has made us much busier, causing us to be very tired. But everyone is adapting positively to the changes. Therefore, don't worry about us, and we will overcome all the difficulties and work hard to achieve our goals!

We are eager to hear about what has been going on with you recently. How are you getting on with your new students? Do you enjoy your new job?

Thank you again, Sue, for everything you've done for us. We send you our gratitude and our best wishes. We are looking forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes!

Sincerely yours,
Li Hua

佳作赏析

Dear Zhang Hua,

How are you doing?[1] It's three months since I heard from you last time. Now I want to tell you an impressive story that happened on my first lesson.[2]

On hearing the bell,[3] students ran into the classroom as quickly as they could. But a boy, Li Ming, whose father died a month ago,[4] was late for the class. He stood outside the classroom, silent. I smiled at him and let him come in. After a while, he cried on his desk. Then I walked to him and asked what had happened. He told me that his mother was ill and that he had to take some medicine for her. At the same time, he apologized to me for[5] being late. Moved by his words,[6] I praised him for his deeds and sang a song named “Mother” for the students. How time flies![7] Class was over before I realized it.

From the story I feel we should respect our parents and do our best to help them. Do you think so?[8] I'm looking forward to your reply.[9]

Yours truly,
Li Hong
