that 从句要用虚拟语气，谓语用过去时或should + do

在含有were的虚拟语气条件句中，if可以被省略，但这时从句要采用倒装语序。
If I were to meet him tomorrow, I should ask him about it.
Were I to meet him tomorrow, I should ask him about it.

3. conclusion;
4. formal end to the letter.
Sample writing
Dear Committee Members,
I wish to make a suggestion about the kind of
art we can put into our new art gallery. Our
district is well-known for paper-cutting and
the people are very skilled at it. At the
moment these people do not have anything to
display the variety and skill of their
craftsmanship. If the skill is lost there may
be no record of it. The gallery would
Provide them with an opportunity to preserve
this skill. If you were to allow them to display
their expertise here I believe we could make
our district famous and encourage more
tourists to come here.
I hope you will consider my suggestion
favourably.
Yours faithfully,
Liu Xiaoye
You hope that there should be some body-building apparatus in your community. Write a letter to the person in charge.
