参考范文
Dear Mr Wang,
Knowing that our library is going to buy new books,I’d like to give some suggestions.
In my opinion,what we need most are popular science books.Usually popular science books explain basic rules of nature in a simple and interesting way.They help us understand the world better and make us curious about scientific discoveries.In addition to reading for knowledge,we read for fun and inspiration.That is why I recommend another kind of books:literary books.Classic works,which were written by famous writers,present great thoughts through interesting stories and language.They not only offer us joy,but also encourage us to think in a different way.
I’ll be glad if you can consider my recommendation.
Yours sincerely,
Li Yue
