五、写作(参考范文)
Dear Martin,
How are you You mentioned that you’re interested in Chinese cartoons. I’d like to introduce one of my favorite Chinese cartoons to you. It’s called “Nezha: Birth of the Demon Child”.
The main character is Nezha, a little boy with a special destiny. He was born as a demon child, but he didn’t want to be defined by his birth. He fought against the prejudice and misunderstandings of the people around him.
The story is full of excitement. Nezha had to face many difficulties and challenges, but he was brave and determined. He finally proved himself and became a hero.
I like this cartoon because it shows us the power of self-belief and the courage to break free from limitations. It’s really inspiring.
I hope you’ll like it too. If you have any questions, feel free to let me know.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Jia
