Passage Two
The letter you write is your personal representative. It takes your place when circumstances make it impossible for you to be there in person. It goes to the hospital to cheer a sick friend. It goes to your hostess to thank her for entertaining you. It conveys your best wishes, congratulations, condolences--when you are not able to do so in person.
A friendly letter is like a visit on paper. If you "hate to write letters", it's simply because you have not yet discovered the fun it can be to write and receive letters that are good talk on paper. Many people neglect to answer letters from relatives and friends. To a letter unanswered is like saying, "I don't think you are worth the time and effort it takes to write a letter."
36. According to the passage, when you can't come to a certain place in person, you can ______.
A. send somebody else instead
B. make a telephone call
C. send a telegraph
D. write a letter

问答题Practice 7Suppose you are Li Ming, please write a letter to the University President about the Canteen Service on Campus. Your letter should cover these points:(1) food quality and price,(2) your impression on the dining environment and canteen servicePlease note: you may praise the canteen service in your letter or you may criticize and suggest, or you can do the both. Write at least 150 words.You do NOT need to write any addresses.正确答案： 【参考范文】
Dear Mr. President,
I am a student of computer science in our university. I am writing this letter to you to show you the canteen service on campus on behalf of some students of our department.
Firstly, we feel we need more varieties of foods served to us, which means every student can get the food suitable for his taste and his pocket-money allowance. Secondly, we find it essential to elongate the opening hours of the canteen. A student from a class that ends at 12:00 at noon may reach the canteen no sooner than 12:30. However, the fact is that the canteen is already closed when he gets there. Thirdly, we are greatly concerned with the dining environment. We feel that student diners are entitled to a better dining environment than what they are having now.
We do hope that the university authority will look into the problems and solve them.
Yours Sincerely,

问答题Task II (20 marks) Write an essay of no less than 160 words in which you discuss the moral of the following passage and express your personal views on the subject. Now write the letter on the answer sheet. Courage is the greatest of all virtues, because if you don’t have courage, you will not have an opportunity to use any of the others.—Samuel Johnson正确答案：
No matter how fast-learning a child is, he can’t walk without the courage to leave his mother’s embrace; no matter how much talent a singer is endowed with, nobody knows until he marches on the stage and opens his mouth; no matter how ambitious a soldier can be, he is never a general if he dares not take up the arms. So courage is the first step to success. As an old Chinese saying goes: It is the first step that costs troublesome, we may conclude what a valuable treasure courage is. Besides giving you a chance to success, when life gets you down and when it seems that your world is at an end, courage is the only thing that you are left with, that can’t be deprived by anyone and that you can take and make the next step. Because this is not a grant from someone else, instead, it stems from deep within the heart and flushes away the paralysis created by fear.解析： 暂无解析 -

Thank you so much for inviting me to come and stay with you at your home in Rome next year. I'd love to come.
I've heard that summer is quite hot and humid there, and I'm not sure what your commitments at work are, so when do you think would be the most suitable time for me to visit? I am on holiday from university from December to February, so I am available to travel to visit you any time in these months.
I'm so excited about seeing you again and catching up on all your news. I've never been to Rome but I know it is a very beautiful city with lots of interesting history. I would love to see the Coliseum and of course all the stunning churches and old buildings. I'm also very keen on Italian food and I love shopping, so I'm sure we're going to have a great time.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am one of your hotel guests and my family (wife and two children) and I arrived from Hong Kong SAR and checked in to your hotel several days ago intending to stay for two weeks. We are in room 906 in the West Wing.
When we arrived, we were slightly disappointed with the size of the hotel room. When we pre-booked this accommodation with our travel agent, she had indicated that we would have a family suite with a double bed and two single beds for our children. However, there is only a double bed and a fold-out sofa, which is not suitable. We were also surprised that our room did not have a sea view, as promised. Finally, we have found the hotel room to be quite cold at night, with insufficient heating.
I would appreciate it if you could arrange for two single beds to be transferred into our room as soon as possible. Likewise, if several heaters for the room could also be arranged, I would greatly appreciate it.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
