something

书面表达 Dear Tim

How is everything going? I’m more than delighted to now that you show great interest in the popular TV show “the Chinese Poetry Competition” and intend to learn Chinese poetry. I am writing to give you a brief introduction and share some practical advice on poetry learning.

In fact, “the Chinese Poetry Competition” has earned great popularity and attracted an increasing number of talented competitors throughout the world since it was first broadcast in 2016. The program, aiming to arouse public enthusiasm for traditional Chinese culture and help people better appreciate the beauty of poetry, proves to be a great success.

As for how to learn poems well, I thin that as a beginner, Tang poems by some well-nown poets lie Li Bai and Du Fu will suit you well. Besides, recitation is also a significant approach to learning poetry. Hopefully, you will enjoy learning Chinese poetry with my suggestions above.

Looing forward to your reply!

Yours,

Li Hua

W I thought you were going to clean up in here!

M I did! My toys are in the toy bo, and all my clothes are in the closet. W But what about the dirt on the floor? Tet 2

M What are you doing now? I told you to get to bed early so you’d be on time for your first

day of school.

W This loud chair is driving me cray. I’m just trying to fi it. Tet 3

W I can’t find my research essay file anywhere on here. Did you delete it?

M Of course not. I don’t even now your password. Have you saved a copy anywhere?

W No. I wish I had emailed it to myself. Argh! I did my wor on time, but the teacher will

never believe that. Tet 4

M Do you have a watch, by any chance? My phone battery is dead and I thin I’ve missed my

train.

W Sorry, I don’t. But I thin there’s a big cloc by the boarding hall. Tet 5

M Oh, no! Where’s little Freddy?

W Johnny forgot to feed him while we were at wor. I thin he chewed a hole through his bo and

ran around.

M Don’t tell the landlord we’ve got a mouse in our apartment! Let’s catch him now. Tet 6

M Did you see the new student in Miss Foley’s class, Sally? I thin she’s from a poor family. W Poor? Why would you thin that?

M She had pieces of cloth on her jeans. I’ll bet she has holes in them, and she can’t afford to

buy new ones. Her mom had to sew on the pieces of cloth to fi her old jeans.

W Rusty, you’re a little behind the times. That’s the fashion nowadays. Half of our class has

pieces sewn on their jeans. If her parents are really poor, we certainly will help her. M That’s great. Anytime we should help the poor. Tet 7

M What time is it, Harriet? I’m starving, but I guess it’s not time for lunch yet. W Let’s see…according to my iPhone, it’s just a few minutes past noon.

M What? I thought my watch was wrong. Shouldn’t the sun be overhead if it’s noon?

W Oh, Don. I can tell you weren’t listening in science class last wee. The sun is only overhead

at noon for two days a year. M Ha-ha. Very funny.

W No, really. Mrs. Sorenson eplained it. The earth goes around the sun at an angle, and that

changes where the sun is at noon.

M But…then those old clocs that measured time by the sun’s shadow are all wrong? W Um, not eactly. They’re just not the same as the time we eep on our computers. M I wish I were sitting at a computer right now instead of out here. I’m starting to hate nature. Tet 8

M Oh, no. What happened in here, Alea? Why are there some dead plants?

W I now. Every plant comes in alive and ends up dead. I definitely do not have a green

thumb.

M People always say that, but it’s not that hard to eep house plants. What did you do to care

for this one?

W That one had a big flower on it, so I put it in the sunlight.

M This is a winter plant from north China. It doesn’t do well in direct sunlight. Just move it

here. Didn’t you loo up how to care for it when you got it? W No. I just thought it was pretty, and it was doing O in the shop. M And this one here is all yellow. That means you gave it too much water. W Too much water? I thin if it doesn’t need the water, it doesn’t have to drin it.

M That’s not how plants wor. I’m afraid the root system under the dirt of this one is destroyed.

You’ll have to throw this one away. Loo, here’s an app with plant information. Tet 9

M Why don’t you have some of my cae, Sue? I made it just for this party. W Sorry, Bill. I’m not into cae at the moment. I thought you new about my diet.

M On your birthday? Surely you can eat whatever you want on your birthday. You can start

your diet tomorrow. And anyway, you loo great.

W Well, thans, Bill. I am not on a diet to lose weight, actually. My doctor told me to stop

eating certain foods. I’m trying to avoid being allergic to something.

M I didn’t now food could help with that. I also noticed you didn’t eat any of the sandwiches

Jill brought.

W Yeah. And you and Tom and Sharon all brought different caes. I’m dying to try them! M Why don’t I go get you a salad? I’m sure you’ll feel better if you eat something. W All right. It’s the only thing here I can eat. What I really want is some hot soup. M Why don’t I go and get some soup from the restaurant across the street for you? W That’s awfully nice of you, but I’m enjoying my party. Maybe we could go afterwards. M O. You go bac in the house and chat with the guests, and I’ll call the restaurant and tell

them we’ll be there in a few hours. Tet 10

Than you for attending this public hearing on our new Severe Weather Warning System. I’m Mayor Dunley. First, I’d lie to remind everyone that the main purpose of a weather warning system is to tell people outdoors to move inside. Now, it’s important to remember that we will test the system every Saturday at noon, so don’t worry about the noise at that time. It’s a good idea to go outside and listen when we test the system and mae sure you can hear them in your neighborhood. Remember that the loud noise is only one part of the warning system. The loud noises are activated by city officials after we receive alerts from the national weather service. In other words, you might hear an alert on the national news before you hear the warning here. If you do hear one, what should you do? First, tae cover. Our city doesn’t have public shelters, so go to the inside of any building, away from windows. Second, wait for reports on local media. Finally, stay indoors until you hear the all-clear signal.
