Thank you very much for meeting me and seeing me off at the airport. I really appreciate your kindness and great help you offered during my one year’s stay in Australia. Your help did a lot good both to my life and studies there.
Summer is the best season here. I will be very happy if you can come to Rizhao and see me then. Yours truly,

四． 1. 大学生打工的现状
2. 大学生打工的原因
3. 大学生打工的意义
Many Chinese college students are holding part-time jobs. College students are working as tutors, salespersons and doing whatever work they can find.
The primary reason for explaining this, I think, is money. Feeling the prices of books, movies and bus fares have all gone up, meanwhile almost every young boy or girl wants to earn a little money to cover the college costs, and at best save enough to go traveling or buy things they have long desired. By doing part-time jobs they can be economically independent as well. Besides they can get some experience this way. Working on a part-time basis can provide them with a good opportunity to know the outside world and prepare them for a future career too.
The significance for college students of doing a part-time job means more than money and experience. It will broaden their outlook and put a profound influence on their personality and life.
五． 李华是来自杏坛中学的学生。他们学校的英语俱乐部将在10月20日举行“戏剧之夜”，李华和她的同学们非常想参加但是他们在选择剧目上遇到了一些困难，因为要求只能用40分钟左右来完成表演，而且剧本不能太难，并要跟校园生活有关。李华他们对英国戏剧了解很少，所以我们很难选剧本。于是王老师告诉他们可以给泰勒Taylor先生写信求助，因为泰勒先生是英国戏剧方面的专家。 请以李华的语气给泰勒先生写一封求助信，请他帮同学们选剧本。
Dear Mr. Taylor,
I am a student from Xingtan Middle School. My classmates and I came across some difficulty. Our teacher, Ms Wang, told us that we could write to you for help.
Here is the problem. The English Club of our school will hold Drama Night on October 20th. We want to take part in it very much. But we have some difficulty in choosing the play, because we can only spend about forty minutes in acting the play and the play should not be too difficult and should be related to the school life. We know little about British drama, so it is too difficult for us to choose the play. You are an expert in British drama, so could you choose one for us please? We are eager to get your early answer. We will appreciate any of your help.
Yours sincerely, Li Hua

9． 目前社会上有越来越多的年轻人喜欢在网上购物，他们认为在网上购物可以节省时间，避免拥挤，可是也有许多年纪大的人还是喜欢传统的购物方式——去市场或商场购物，他们认为那样可以加强和外界交流。请根据提示写一篇议论文。
Traditional Shopping and Shopping Online
We now have many people, especially the younger ones, who are very fond of shopping online. They think, compared with traditional shopping, shopping online is a better choice for saving time and avoiding fighting the crowds in the supermarket or shopping mall. However, still there are many people, especially some old ones, who prefer going to the supermarket or shopping mall themselves. They think it a better way to communicate with others. And they are the supporters of “seeing is believing”.
