1、个人情况 Personal information
I'm Li Hua, a student from Hongxing Middle School. I'm writing to apply for the position of volunteer you advertised on China Daily.
My experience has made me a qualified volunteer for your activity. First, I'm not only fluent in English but also have a good sense of cross-cultural communication, which enables me to provide a good service. Second, I am familiar with the history of the ancient Silk Road and know many stories about it. Third, as an outgoing member of the Students' Union, I have gained much experience in organizing social activities. In a word, I think I wouldn't let you down if I were given this opportunity.
Looking forward to your early reply.

我有足够的经验，能担任该活动的合格志愿者。首先，我不仅英语流利，而且有良好的跨文化交际意识，这使我能够提供良好的服务。第二，我熟悉古代丝绸之路的历史，知道很多相关的故事。第三，作为一个外向的学生会成员，我有很多组织社会活动的经验。总之，我认为如果我有这个机会，我不会让你失望。
2、家庭、朋友与周围的人 Family,friends and people around
I'm Li Hua. Learning that you want to learn Mandarin and are in search of a teacher, I'd like to recommend my friend Li Ming to you.

Having been the winner of both English and Chinese speech contests several times, he was awarded the Image Ambassador of his university. So with a good command of English, he surely has no difficulty in communicating with you. And when knowing that you want someone to help you with Mandarin, he is quite willing to offer help.
I would appreciate it if you could take my recommendation into consideration.

I'm Li Hua, an exchange student from China. Having learned that you're looking for volunteers to monitor the water quality of the river, I'd like to be one of them.
In my hometown, my family have lived on a river for decades. I know how important the river is to people. The river to us is what milk to a baby. That is why I'm willing to join you in helping protect the river from being polluted through monitoring its water quality. I promise I will spare no effort to do the job and do it well.
I would appreciate it if you could offer me the opportunity to do something for us all.
Looking forward to your early reply.

Today, a high school delegation from the UK came to our school to have a cultural exchange activity, which offered us a good opportunity to learn more about each other.
At first, we showed the delegation around our cultural corridor where pictures and art works about Chinese and English culture were exhibited. Then a cultural lecture was held at the lecture hall, during which students from both countries introduced the development of their own culture. Finally, the art performance that represented Chinese and English culture turned out to be the highlight of the activity.
Through the cultural exchange activity, we have enhanced the understanding of different cultures and promoted the friendship between the two schools.
今天，一个来自英国的高中代表团来到我们学校进行文化交流活动，这给了我们一个很好的机会去了解彼此。
首先，我们带领代表团参观了我们的文化走廊，那里展出了中国和英国文化的图片和艺术作品。随后在报告厅举行了一场文化讲座，来自两国的学生介绍了各自文化的发展。最后，代表中、英两国文化的艺术表演成为活动的亮点。
通过文化交流活动，我们增进了对不同文化的了解，增进了两校之间的友谊。

How are you doing? Knowing that you are interested in astronomy, I'm writing to invite you to attend a lecture on astronomy given by Mr Green, a professor in a famous university.
The three hour lecture will start at 8:30 am on Thursday next week in the lecture hall. Mr Green will not only talk about how life began on the Earth, but also introduce some great astronomers as well as the great achievements they have made. In addition, there will be a question-and-answer period when we can ask Mr Green any questions about astronomy.
I believe we can learn more about astronomy from the lecture. Looking forward to your coming.

7、个人感情 Emotions
The problem you are facing is quite common among us teenagers. As a student of your age, I quite understand you, and I have some advice for you.
Firstly, you should understand that your parents care about you. They often compare you with others perhaps because they want to let you be aware of your disadvantages and help you become better. If you don't like it, you can tell them about your feeling, saying that you feel stressed out. Secondly, you can tell them that you have the confidence to improve yourself in some areas. And meanwhile, let them know that you want to be yourself. I believe your parents can understand you and make some changes.
Hope what I said above can be of some help to you.
你所面临的问题在青少年中很普遍。作为同为这个年龄的学生，我很理解你并有一些建议给你。
首先，你应该明白，你的父母关心你，经常拿你和别人比较，也许是因为他们想让你意识到自己的缺点，帮助你变得更好。如果你不喜欢，你可以告诉他们你的感受，说你感到压力很大。其次，你可以告诉他们，你有信心在某些方面提高自己。同时，让他们知道你想做你自己。我相信你的父母能理解你，并做出一些改变。
8、人际关系 Interpersonal relationships
I quite sympathize with you and understand how you feel. To help you save your friendship, here is my advice.
To begin with, having been friends with him for so many years, you should trust him. Maybe something happened to him or his family. He probably doesn't want you to get involved in it. So it may be a good idea to give him some time to be alone. Finally, you can ask another friend to help find out the reason, which is the key to solving the problem.
I hope these suggestions are helpful and that you and Tom are on good terms as before.
我很同情你，也理解你的感受。为了帮助你挽救你的友谊，下面有几个建议。
首先，和他做了这么多年的朋友，你应该相信他。也许他或他的家人出事了，他可能不想让你卷入其中。所以一个好办法是给他一些独处的时间。最后，问题的关键是，你可以请另一个朋友帮忙找出原因。
我希望这些建议对你有帮助，希望你和汤姆像以前一样相处得很好。

Dear Alex,
I'm glad to learn from your letter that you're going to pay a visit to Beijing recently.I'd like to be your guide and give my suggestions for your two-day trip here.
On the morning of the first day, I suggest we climb the Great Wall, which is famous all over the world. After lunch, we can enjoy the Bird's Nest and the Water Cubic where the 2008 Olympics was held.
Next day, I recommend we go sightseeing in the Peking University and Tsinghua University, the two most noted universities in China. We'd better visit the Forbidden City in the afternoon, so you can appreciate the splendid royal palace.
I'd be happy if my suggestions are helpful to you. And I'm looking forward to your coming.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

范文
Dear Peter,
With Chinese New Year drawing near, I'd like to invite you to celebrate it at my home.
Chinese New Year is regarded as one of the most important festivals in my country. On the New Year's Eve, families and relatives will gather together to have a big dinner. When it comes to the reunion dinner, people often think of dumplings. But actually, the reunion dinner is usually served with abundant foods, such as fish, chicken, beef as well as many other dishes. Some foods can have special meanings expressing people's good wishes for the coming new year. All my family will be excited about your coming. I'm sure you'll have a good time with us.
Looking forward to your coming.
Yours truly,
Li Hua
