写作指导
一、审题定调
本写作任务要求给朋友回一封邮件，属于私人信件。私人信件通常是写给家人、亲戚、朋友等的信件，其内容和格式都没有太多的限制，在措辞方面也不必太拘礼。
在私人信件中常用“Dear + 收信人的姓名”开头，而不必用 Mr./Mrs./Miss 等称呼。如果关系极为密切，还可用 My dear、 My dearest 等。在结尾可以用 Love、 Lots of love 或 Yours ever等。
二、谋篇布局
本写作的开头和结尾已经给出，我们只要写出邮件正文即可，具体可分为以下三部分：
第一部分：开门见山，说明写信目的；
第二部分：提供建议；
第三部分：祝愿对方。
三、私人信件常用表达
