范文赏析
假定你是高中生李华。三年前在你校做交换生的 Tom 最近和你取得了联系,他想了解你现在的情况。

2.询问他最近的情况。
注意:1.词数 100 左右
2.可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。

的几个方面来陈述即可。写作时注意使用恰当的衔接手段,提高各要点之间的连贯性。

Dear Mr Smith,
It's so great to hear from you again. Now I’d like to tell you something about myself and our school.
Our school has witnessed great changes during the past' two years. Firstly, another two teaching buildings have
been built because the old one couldn't hold the increasing number of students.
Secondly, the stadium has been enlarged, which can accommodate about three thousand people now. Besides, there
came three foreign language teachers, all of whom are popular among us students, just like you. As for me, I have b
een studying hard and I have made great progress in English. What's more, I have built very good relationships with
my classmates and teachers.
How are things going with you? Please write and tell me.
Yours,
Li Hua
