Dear Peter,
I have received your e-mail saying that you are interested to know how our schooling is now going on during the COVID-19 epidemic. Therefore, I am writing to inform you of relevant information.
To stat with, we are having e-learning at home, studying in the “classroom in the air” all the academic and non-academic subjects. The schedule runs from 7:00 am till 4:50 pm on weekdays, with 5 lessons in the morning and 3 lessons in the afternoon. Besides, I have got used to distance learning, which I think is a creative form of schooling and also our own way to fight against the epidemic. We’ve come to realize how important computers and mobiles phones have become to us! Finally, I really miss the days when I could stay with my classmates and teachers on campus. That is why I pray for the end of the epidemic every day, and it is my belief that it will soon come.
If you need further information, don’t hesitate to contact me. And I can’t wait to hear what you are doing these days during the epidemic. Looking forward to you reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

Dear Jane,
How is everything going with you Having studied in my new school for some time, I am writing excitedly to share something with you about my new senior middle school.
I have been studying at the new school for more than two months. There are 30 classes in each grade and about 800 teachers, including my favorite teacher — Mr Wang. He is a humorous man who always uses many interesting teaching methods to arouse our interest. Besides, my class has 56 students and all of us are diligent and hard-working. We have become good friends and encourage each other to study hard. We usually get up at 6:00 am and go to bed at 10:00 pm.
To put it simply, I like the new lifestyle at my new school. I hope our friendship will last forever. I look forward to hearing from you as early as possible. Yours,
Li Hua

假定你是高三学生李华。你班的交换生Jim对中华传统文化感兴趣,因下学期有选修课,希望你能给他推荐介绍一门相关的选修课程。请给Jim写一封邮件,内容包括:
1.推荐一门选修课并说明理由;
2.提出学习这门课程的建议。
Dear Jim,
How is everything going with you I am glad to learn that you are interested in traditional Chinese culture and eager to explore more. Therefore, I am writing to recommend the course on the Ancient Poetry to you.
Firstly, as far as I am concerned, the course on the Ancient Poetry is your best choice. By learning Chinese ancient poems, not only can you have an extensive knowledge of Chinese history and culture, but also you can feel the charm of the language by reading poems, which helps to improve your Chinese. What's more, in order to have a better understanding of the ancient poems, I suggest that you should search for related background knowledge so that you will fully understand the true meaning of the poems. At last, it would be a good idea if you could read and recite as many poems as possible.
I sincerely hope that my suggestions will be helpful to you. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. I am looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
