From:Tom
Time:Thursday,May 5th
To:Li Lin
Dear Li Lin,
How is everything going I’m very happy to hear from you.
You asked me about the traffic situation in my hometown.I’ll tell you then.
My hometown is a small town,so usually the traffic is not very busy.But every day between 7:00 and 9:00 in the morning,17:00 and 19:00 in the afternoon,lots of people go to work or go home.There may be traffic jams at that time.If you don’t want to stay long on a bus or in the street,do not go out at that time.
As for my family,my father drives a car to the hospital every morning.My mother rides a bike to her office.My sister Tina and I go to school on foot every day because our house isn’t very far from our school.But my friend Sam isn’t so lucky.He lives in another town.He needs to take a bus to school every day.
What about the traffic situation in your hometown Can you tell me I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Tom

What is your favourite way of traveling, by car, by train or by plane Maybe you like to travel on foot, by bus, by motorbike or on a bicycle.My favourite transport for traveling is taking a train.
First, I like trains because I can walk around on them and don’t need to sit like on a plane or in a car.I can also enjoy the beautiful scenery out of the windows of a train along the railway, but on a plane I can’t nearly see anything.Second, I can know much more culture about China because there are many people on the train and they are friendly to talk with me.And I can feel free to use my laptop(笔记本电脑) and cell phone, but on a plane I can’t do that.Third, some trains are very fast now, so I don’t need much time to get to the place I want to go to.They can make us save lots of time.The tickets for trains are also very cheap.Most people can buy them, and trains in China link(连接) almost every town or city, so you can get almost anywhere by train.
I don’t like buses, because they are always crowded and they stop from time to time on the way.And especially the smell(味道) of their fuel is very terrible(很糟的).The most important is that they are very slow.
Of course, choosing what kind of way depends on(依靠) where I am traveling.If it is far away abroad(在国外), I’ll have to take a plane there.
(A)6.Which of the following is the writer’s favourite way of traveling
A.By train. B.By air. C.By ship.

Daming enjoys travelling.He’s going to visit Guangzhou next Monday.There are several ways to travel from his hometown to Guangzhou.He can take the plane,the coach or the train.
Daming wants to take the plane,because it’s the fastest and the most comfortable,but it’s also the most expensive.He also wants to take the coach,because it’s the most interesting, but it’s the slowest and the most uncomfortable.
At last, he decides to take the train, because it’s faster than taking the coach and cheaper than taking the plane.
