Recently, having been delighted to see the notice that there is a need of our reading festival to make a choice among three creative pictures for advertisement. After a long time comparison, the picture on the bottom right corner earns my favor.
As is clearly depicted in the picture, there sits a foreigner in front of the library who is concentrating on the books, immersing himself into the world of literature and feeling peaceful and satisfied, which turns out to be thought-provoking and enlightening.
Part of the reasons for my choice is that it vividly reveals the significance of reading books to students, which provides you with the power to escape from the hustle and bustle in the metropolis. For instance, whenever you feel puzzled, confused or stressed, you can always refer to books and consequently find peace and satisfactory solutions in them.
I’d, however, perfectly appreciate your considering my selection if you feel that choice and reason are in lined with your requirements and best wishes for your reading festival.

Dear xxx,
I hear you are very unhappy these days because your parents can’t afford to buy you some brand-name shoes and garments you like very much. And I write you this letter to share with you what I think about this matter.
To begin with, beauty is just skin deep. Don’t you think it silly to pay so much attention to your appearance? He is a shallow person who judges others by their appearance; in the same sense, he is a shallow person who thinks that a brand-name garment can add to his glamour. So please, just forget about those brand-name things. What really matters is not whether you wear brand-name shoes or garments but whether your clothes fit you. As a student, you have to wear the school uniform on the weekdays and to be honest, you look very smart in it. Then why do you have to bother to buy the expensive brand-name things?
Secondly, I know your parents are both average workers. Hard as they work, they don’t earn much. Despite this, they do their best to give you a lot of things on demand. Look at the callus on their hands and wrinkles on their faces, how can you have the heart to ask for more than they can afford, which will surely break their hearts? Remember, parents don’t owe us expensive summer camps; they don’t owe us Sony Walkman; nor do they owe us Nike shoes, If you really want those fancy things, you should take a part-time job to contribute to their purchase rather than ask your parents for money to add to their already heavy burden. Don’t you think so?
Thirdly, we have such a wide variety of things available these days which are both nice and inexpensive. What’s the point of paying much more for those brand-name things that are not much better? My friend, take my advice, and you’ll be a wiser consumer as well as a more considerate child to your parents.
Poverty, sometimes, is a good thing. It can test a person’s character and it makes a man out of a boy faster than anything else. Keep working hard, and you are bound to be able to afford those things in the near future. Now you may as well focus on your study. Anyway, wouldn’t it be funny for a would-be achiever to be so preoccupied with brand-name things all day long?
Keep in touch.
Yours,
xxx

Word came that a reading festival would be held by our school and there is a need for a picture for advertisement and I am writing to give my opinion. From my perspective , I am in favor of the picture in the top right corner.
As is vividly depicted in that picture, around the table sit three kids with a couple of books in their hands, having a heated discussion about the contents and sharing their thoughts for the themes, which shows their dedication and passion for reading.
Basically, several reasons are listed for my preference. First, nothing is more attractive than a proper and realistic picture. This picture serves as an epitome of our daily reading scene in the school and it is apt to let students recall the joy and harvest while reading.
Second, this picture stands for the fun of sharing and exchanging ideas. With regard to reading, there is a saying that there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand peoples eyes. After reading, bits and pieces of thoughts will appear in our mind, so it is beneficial to have a better understanding after comparing notes about what we have read.
From what is mentioned above, I, undoubtedly, approve of the picture in the top right corner. Thus, I would appreciate it if you could take my proposal into consideration and I wish this festival a complete success.

Dear Cathy,
I am writing to you to share my opinions onfashion with you, for I have just heard that you were depressed because you couldn't affordthe best famous brands.
I shall say that it is natural for everyone topay much emphasis on hisown image.And it is true that stylish clothes, shoes or something like those will make one more fashionable and eye-catching. However,everybody has his(her) own family background, and it is reallyextravagantforyou to buy the famous brands.
Besides,itwillalso add to the burden of your parents.What’ s more, beauty is just skin deep. There are many things which can make you popular with others except fashion.
A great amount of knowledge,noble character and a warm heart will surely win others’respect and admiration.Good qualitiesare the treasure in your life which is more valuable than anything you wear.Never judge a person by the appearance.I hope that you will remember the saying and become as happy as you used to be.
Yours,
Jane

Dear SirMadam,
I’m writing to express some of my opinions towards our school’s English newspaper.
In my point of view, among health, entertainment and culture, I would choose ―entertainment‖ to be the one to be eliminated. Although it’s necessary for students to get some relaxation, I’m worried that the main news the entertainment column offers will eventually turn into celebrity gossip, which is neither helpful to the growth of students nor to the development of our school. We are already living in a world that is crammed with useless information, and there’s no need to add some more. The main focus of the newspaper is supposed to be placed on the students –not Brad Pitt’s new movie.
As for the column to be added, I highly recommend the ―career planning‖. I know that right now a large number of students still have absolutely no idea about what they truly want to become in the future, so it’s quite urgent and necessary to give students basic understanding of what different kinds of jobs are like and what kind of qualities are required for different jobs. This may help students gain a better understanding of their strengths and weakness and thus figure out their goals. To me, it’s much more meaningful than ―fashion‖ or ―readers’ feedback‖. I’m looking forward to your reply.
Many thanks
Chen Fei

Today I spent two periods of time in Amy’s class in a primary school, watching the pupils learn how to paint. What impressed me most was Amy’s painting. In some way, it broadened my horizons..
Looking back at the two pictures drawn by her, I have to say it was of great amusement to see her unique way of painting. At first, she tried making a nice design with both of her feet on a broad piece of white paper blanket ,which ,frankly speaking, was no painting at all, for you could see no art but one footprint after another. Actually, even Amy herself was not satisfied with it. Surprisingly, she didn’t give up or feel frustrated as I hadexpected but stopped to think for a while, looking at her teacher eagerly.Then, with her blueprint in mind plus the teacher’s guidance, she changed the way, using her hands instead. Painting –brush in hand, she sat properlystraight at a desk, paying more attention to her work. Much to my joy, this time she managed to draw some birds flying high in the skysun, which obviously demonstrated reflected her remarkable progress.
Simple and funny as it seemed, on second thought ,what the pupil did was well worth thinking. It’s generally accepted that students , especially little children have great potential in their growth and development. Nevertheless, when it comes to gaining knowledge or skills , personal efforts can make a difference even though timely care help from others such as parents or teachers is necessary. Had Amy given up halfway following an unsatisfactory semi-product, the successful work accomplished by her later would have been unthinkable hard to imagine.

A study has been carried out recently on whether parents take pride in their children. Having surveyed the students of our school and their parents, we finally got the results, as is shown in the chart. 80% of the parents surveyed said that they did, while 60% of the student subjects gave the same answer.
Where dose the twenty percentage go? From my perspective, two factors contribute to it. On one hand, in the Chinese traditional educational pattern, parents would rather show their pride behind children’s back for fear that they might be too over-confident to behave well. When it comes to face-to-face conversations, parents prefer to point out mistakes, ignoring the fact that sometimes child needs more encouragement than criticism.
On the other hand, children are also to blame for their impatience and less attention to parents. We work hard and are so desperate to win praise and applause. When we don’t get what is expected, we easily are drown into disappointment, become angry, start complaining, and lose the patience to calm down and think deeply. Naturally, we fail to find out how deep our parents love us and how proud they are knowing we achieve a lot.
The missing twenty percentage mirrors the generation gap. Luckily, as long as parents and children make joint efforts, we can finally bridge the gap, understand each other and share a common idea.

Dear Headmaster,
I am the minister of students' life in the Student Union. On behalf of all the students, I am writing to you to give our opinions about the canteen.
Our canteen has something satisfactory and something unsatisfactory as well. To our satisfaction, many kinds of the food are supplied to us. Besides this, the food is cheap and tastes good. We all enjoy the food. And the surroundings in the canteen have also been improved. But the quantity of a helping they give is not enough. The seats are not enough as well.Some students have no seats when eating.
Finally we advise them to improve the quality of the food and their service. We will feel very happy if these problems can be solved.
Yours,
XXX
尊敬的校长：
我是学生会生活部部长。我代表所有学生给您写信反映一下我们对食堂的意见。
食堂有令人满意的一面也有令人不满意的一面；令我们满意的是，食堂给我们提供了很多种类的食物。另外，饭菜价格便宜，味道可口，我们很喜欢。而且食堂环境也已经改善了。但是他们给的食物的分量不足。食堂的座位也不够，一些学生吃饭时没有座位。我们希望学校会考虑增添些座位。
最后我们建议他们改进饭菜的质量，改善服务。如果这些问题能被解决我们会感到非常高兴。
尊敬您的
XXX

What a pleasant surprise it is to know that our school will hold a Reading Festival! Hearing that the committee need select a picture as the publicity photo, I intend to voice my opinion that I am fond of the one on the left corner.
Actually, the three photos are equally attractive to us students. If we must elect one to publicize, I prefer the one that is composed of books, coffee, musical notes and instrument, which creates the an agreeable and relaxed atmosphere.
“Read a good book, just like a noble people in conversation.”, which is said by Gerd, reveals that books play an essential role in our life. Creating an atmosphere by music and coffee，it appeals to students to start reading. Moreover, the image could imply that reading has the function of nurturing spirituality and purifying mind.
I hope that my suggestions will prove of some value in your consideration, and that reading books will be more popular among us students.

Dear Editor,
As a student reader, I am writing to talk about the English textbooks published by your house.
On the whole, these books have many advantages. First of all, the topics in the textbooks are various, most of which are focused on students’ life. What’s more, the pictures in the textbooks are so colorful and vivid that we can have a better understanding of the knowledge in it. What is the most important thing for the textbooks is that they can develop students’ interest in learning English.
However, some vocabularies in the textbooks are too difficult for us to understand. I hope you can change them into easier ones so that we can learn English better.
Best regards,
Li Hua
亲爱的编辑，
作为学生的读者，我写了一个关于你家出版的英语教材的作文。
总的来说，这些书有很多优点。首先，教材中的主题是多方面的，其中大部分都是以学生的生活为主题的。更甚的是，在课本上的照片是如此的丰富多彩，生动，我们可以更好地理解它的知识。对教材最重要的是，他们能培养学生学习英语的兴趣。
然而，一些课本中的词汇太难了，我们难以理解。我希望你能把他们变成更容易的人，这样我们就可以更好地学习英语了。
最好的问候，

Dear Liu Lei，
I‘m writing to tell you about a fantastic movie I have just watched， as we always share the same taste of movies.
The movie is Avatar， which tells a story of a soldier who， on an alien planet filled with exotic life forms， finds himself torn between two worlds in a fight for the survival of the alien people. Besides the touching and thrilling story， the movie also features brilliant visual effects， thanks to the talented director and advanced computer technology.
So I recommend it to you as one of the best movies I have ever watched. I‘m sure you will love it as much as I do. I’m looking forward to discussing more with you after you watch it.
