Dear Jackson,
I’m more than delighted to share my opinion, which I hope will be of some help to you. Frankly, I hold the view that it makes good sense to study abroad. The reasons are as follows.
To begin with, exposure to a foreign language setting while we are studying abroad makes learning process engaging and effective. Moreover, bathed in a different culture of a foreign country, we can gain great insights into the world because cross-cultural experiences can give us a global perspective. Studying abroad takes us out of our comfort zone and changes us for the better, which is the most important from my perspective.
With all things considered, I hope you can choose to study abroad and start a new life.
Yours,

Dear Jessica,
I’m Li Hua. Learning that our school will select 10 students to be the volunteers of the cultural exchange activity between China and other countries, I’m writing to apply for the opportunity.
I’m confident that I am a right person for this activity. Firstly, I am fluent in English, which plays an important role in communicating with foreigners. Secondly, I have learned shadow plays for eight years and am capable of performing them well. What’s more, I’m outgoing and can get on well with others.
I would appreciate it if you could give me this chance.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
第二节
【思路点拨】 本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了六年级学生艾米丽被选中参加一个交换生项目,去中国访问,但文化差异、语言障碍和陌生的环境让她感到有些不知所措。在朋友珊珊的帮助下,艾米丽完成了关于家乡的报告,也收获了自信。
【详解】
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“艾米丽很高兴做这项任务,但她不知道如何准备。”可知,第一段可描写珊珊帮助艾米丽准备报告以及艾米丽自信心增强。
②由第二段首句内容“这一天终于到了,轮到艾米丽做报告了。”可知,第二段可描写艾米丽完成报告,同学被打动。
2.续写线索:珊珊帮忙准备报告—自信心增加—做报告—同学被打动—艾米丽的感悟
One possible version:
Emily was glad to do this but she didn’t know how to prepare. Knowing that, Shanshan stepped in to help Emily with her presentation. Under Shanshan’s guidance, Emily decided to start by making a list of key points about her hometown, such as its location, population, and famous landmarks. She also included interesting facts and traditions that she thought would attract the audience’s attention. They practised together, and Shanshan even taught her some key phrases in Chinese to make her presentation more appealing. As the days passed, Emily’s confidence grew, and she became more comfortable speaking in front of an audience.
The day finally came and it was Emily’s turn to make the presentation. She was feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness as she walked to the front of the classroom. She took a deep breath, looked at her classmates, and began her presentation. She spoke passionately about the beautiful landscapes, the friendly people, and the unique cultural events. The students listened attentively and asked questions, showing their interest in her culture. Not only were they impressed by her presentation but also they were touched by the strong bond of friendship she had formed with Shanshan. Emily felt a sense of accomplishment, experiencing the warmth of friendship in a foreign land.Period Five Writing

I always dreamed of studying abroad, to learn at a world-class university while further exploring the grounds on which these nations achieved new milestones of development with each passing day.
To study abroad after my graduation, I could not stop seeking my dream. To take the first step, I did some brainstorming and explored opportunities on the Internet and finally decided to go to China. There were a number of reasons behind it—its advanced education system and thousands of centuries of rich culture inspired me to study there. The primary one was my curiosity about how a nation has left many nations behind in a short time at its fast pace of development.
So just like that, I applied, along with some of my friends, for a master’s degree programme at Communication University of China. I was the only one who got selected in the said programme and in addition, the Chinese Scholarship Council sponsored all of my expenses. This good news was welcomed by my family.
This is my seventh month in Beijing. In my experience so far, one thing that appeared to be missing was the internship (实习) which I tried to find because I want to work here after completion of my studies. After some struggles I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to work as an intern with the Centre for China and Globalization(CCG). It’s very exciting to work on their team as a researcher. Now I can proudly say that my decision to choose China as a study destination was the best decision I have ever made.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Emily is a sixth-grade student in a small American town. She is a curious and adventurous girl who always dreams of exploring new places. Last summer, her dream came true when she got selected for a student exchange programme to visit China.
Emily was super excited, but she knew that going to a different country with a brand new culture might not be easy. When she arrived in China, she had an open heart and lots of hope, but the cultural differences, the language barrier, and the unfamiliar surroundings made her feel a bit overwhelmed.
On her first day at a Chinese school, she felt like she was in a completely different world. The students spoke a language she couldn’t understand, and the way things worked in the classroom was very different from back home. During lunchtime, poor Emily sat all by herself in a corner of the cafeteria, feeling lost and lonely. Just then, a friendly Chinese girl came up to her with a warm smile and said, “Hello, my name is Li Shanshan. I noticed you’re new here. Would you like to be our friend ”
Emily was so relieved and thankful for the friendly offer. “Thank you,” she replied with a big smile. “I’m Emily, and I’m really happy to meet you.”
Shanshan introduced Emily to her group of friends, and they all welcomed her with open arms. They helped Emily with her Chinese language, taught her Chinese customs, and shared their favourite Chinese foods. Slowly but surely, Emily started to feel more comfortable and understand the Chinese culture better.
One day, as the English teacher was planning her class schedule, she came up with an idea. She decided to assign each student in the class a presentation about their hometowns the next week. She believed this could be a great way for the students to learn about different cultures and improve their public speaking skills.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Emily was glad to do this but she didn’t know how to prepare.
Paragraph 2:
The day finally came and it was Emily’s turn to make the presentation.

[解析] 由上文“Lastly, communication is key.”以及下文“It's normal
to know few customs and habits at first, so instead of doing
things blindly, just ask.”可知，交流非常重要，遇到不懂的或者不确定的
应该去问；B项“If you are unsure about something, ask.”指出遇到不
确定的事情就问，符合语境。故选B。

Dear Jessica,
I'm Li Hua. Learning that our school will select 10 students to
be the volunteers of the cultural exchange activity between China

I'm confident that I am a right person for this activity. Firstly,
I am fluent in English, which plays an important role in
communicating with foreigners. Secondly, I have learned shadow
plays for eight years and am capable of performing them well.
What's more, I'm outgoing and can get on well with others.
I would appreciate it if you could give me this chance.

第二节 读后续写
[2024·广东东莞高二期末]
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完
整的短文。
Emily is a sixth-grade student in a small American town. She is
a curious and adventurous girl who always dreams of exploring
new places. Last summer, her dream came true when she got
selected for a student exchange programme to visit China.
Emily was super excited, but she knew that going to a
different country with a brand new culture might not be easy.
When she arrived in China, she had an open heart and lots of
hope, but the cultural differences, the language barrier, and the
unfamiliar surroundings made her feel a bit overwhelmed.
On her first day at a Chinese school, she felt like she was in a
completely different world. The students spoke a language she
couldn't understand, and the way things worked in the classroom
was very different from back home. During lunchtime, poor Emily
sat all by herself in a corner of the cafeteria, feeling lost and
lonely. Just then, a friendly Chinese girl came up to her with a
warm smile and said, “Hello, my name is Li Shanshan. I noticed
you're new here. Would you like to be our friend ”
Emily was so relieved and thankful for the friendly offer.
“Thank you,” she replied with a big smile. “I'm Emily, and I'm
really happy to meet you.”
Shanshan introduced Emily to her group of friends, and they
all welcomed her with open arms. They helped Emily with her
Chinese language, taught her Chinese customs, and shared their
favourite Chinese foods. Slowly but surely, Emily started to feel
more comfortable and understand the Chinese culture better.
One day, as the English teacher was planning her class
schedule, she came up with an idea. She decided to assign
each student in the class a presentation about their hometowns
the next week. She believed this could be a great way for the
students to learn about different cultures and improve their public
speaking skills.
注意：续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:

的感悟
One possible version:
Emily was glad to do this but she didn't know how to prepare.
Knowing that, Shanshan stepped in to help Emily with her
presentation. Under Shanshan's guidance, Emily decided to start
by making a list of key points about her hometown, such as its
location, population, and famous landmarks. She also included
interesting facts and traditions that she thought would attract the
audience's attention. They practised together, and Shanshan even
taught her some key phrases in Chinese to make her presentation
more appealing. As the days passed, Emily's confidence grew, and
she became more comfortable speaking in front of an audience.
The day finally came and it was Emily's turn to make the
presentation. She was feeling a mix of excitement and
nervousness as she walked to the front of the classroom. She
took a deep breath, looked at her classmates, and began her
presentation. She spoke passionately about the beautiful
landscapes, the friendly people, and the unique cultural events. The
students listened attentively and asked questions, showing their
interest in her culture. Not only were they impressed by her
presentation but also they were touched by the strong bond of
friendship she had formed with Shanshan. Emily felt a sense of
accomplishment, experiencing the warmth of friendship in a
foreign land.
