Invitation letter
假设你是李华,你校邀请李教授来校做了有关地震防灾知识方面的讲座,请你写一封邮件,把讲座的情况告诉请假未听讲座的交换生Tom,内容包括以下要点:
(1)报告的时间、地点; (2)报告的内容; (3)你的看法。
范 文
Dear Tom,
How are you today I'm writing to share with you the information about the speech given on Friday afternoon.
Professor Li,a famous expert on earthquakes, delivered the speech in the school hall next week on how to survive in an earthquake.The most important is to stay calm in an emergency.
If trapped indoors,it‘s better to find a protecting shelter like a strong table or other furniture. If outdoors, evacuate into the open air where falling objects are unlikely to strike us. It's from his speech that we've realized that knowing how to behave when an earthquake strikes will greatly improve the chance to survive.
In summary,the speech is of great importance to us and all of us need to know what to do during an earthquake.
Yours,
Li Hua
