Suppose one of your nieces is going to choose a major for the university. Write a letter in about 100 words to make a suggestion to her. Do not sign your name at the end of the letter, using “Li Ming” instead.Dear Xiaobin,
I am glad to know that you are going to enter college and it is my great pleasure to give you some suggestions.
As to the ideal major, I think the one which is most suitable for you is teaching Chinese to speakers of other languages. For one thing, with the development of national economy and the deepening of communication among countries, there will be a sustaining need for Chinese teachers around the world. For another, you have a strong interest in Chinese language, history and culture, which is indispensable to the making of a Chinese teacher.
If you agree with me and want to turn the above dream into reality, you should learn to make friends with people from different countries. Furthermore, you should try your best to have a good mastery of English.
Best wishes!
Yours ever,
Li Ming

Suppose one of your friends is going to take the CET6 and asks you for suggestions on how to make preparation. Write a letter in about 100 words to him/her. Do not sign your own name at the end of your letter, using “Li Ming” instead.Dear Helen,
What a surprise it is that you are going to take this Junes CET6 since you are only a freshman in Fudan University! Anyway, your courage and efforts are worth praise.
To get fully prepared for the test, I think, you need to first enlarge your vocabulary, which is the basis of all parts. Second, you need more exercises, especially exercises of reading comprehension, in order to improve your test skills. Then you should practise writing constantly. You can email your compositions to me and I will correct them for you in time.
In a word, every effort is rewarding. I am looking forward to your success.
Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Ming

4. Supply linking and sequencing words for the following passage, using the connective words given below:
Studying a language in a country where it is widely spoken has many advantages. It is (1)…… a good idea to study English in a country such as Britain. (2)…… , I believe it is not the only way to learn the language.
(3)……, most students in non-English-speaking countries learn English at secondary school and sometimes at university nowadays. (4)…… their spoken English is not usually of very high standard, their knowledge of grammar is often quite advanced. This is certainly useful when students come to an English-speaking country to perfect the language.
(5)…… , studying the basics of English at secondary school is less stressful than learning the language while overseas. This is because students living at home do not have to worry about problems such as finding accommodation, paying for their study and living costs, and trying to survive in a foreign country where day-to-day living causes much stress.
(6)…… , there are obvious advantages of learning English in Britain. Every day there are opportunities to practise listening to and speaking with British people. (7)……, students can experience the culture first-hand, which is a great help when trying to understand the language. This is especially true if they choose to live with a British family, as exchange students for example. (8)…… if students attend a language school full-time, the teachers will be native speakers. In this case, (9)…… will students’ speaking and listening skills improve, (10)…… attention can be given to developing reading and writing skills as well.
However, (11)…… it is preferable to study English in an English-speaking country, a reasonable level of English can be achieved in one’s own country, if a student is gifted and dedicated to study.
