范文1
Directions: One of your best friends, Mary, moved to another city a few days ago. Write a keepintouch letter to her, telling her you missed her, asking how she is going on, and introducing the latest information about yourself. Write in no less than 100 words. You dont need to write the address. Dont sign your own name at the end of the letter, use Lily instead.
Dear Mary,
Youve been on my mind a lot the past few days; I have been missing you so much. Now I felt it was time to sit down and write. Are you settled in yet? Have you met any of your new friends? Things are not a piece of cake for you in a new place.
It seems as if youve been gone forever. One sad fact about human nature is that we dont seem to appreciate what we have till its gone. Thats how Im feeling now.
So much has happened since you left; I have been to the police station once, because my wallet was stolen on the bus. And I had to prepare for the CET six, I felt extremely exhausted these days. Fortunately, the exam is over, so I got time to write to you.
Be sure to write soon. Im eager to hear from you.
Affectionately,
Lily

亲爱的玛丽：
这几天我一直想着你，我真的特别想你。所以决定坐下来给你写信。你在那边都安顿好了吗？有没有见到一些新朋友？去一个新的地方对你来说不轻松。
我感觉你好像永远在我生活中消失了。人类的一个弱点就是总是在失去以后才懂得珍惜。我现在就是这么想的。
你走后发生了很多事情。我去了趟警察局，因为我的钱包在车上被偷了。另外我还要准备六级考试，这些天真的感觉好累。还好，考试结束了，我可以给你写信了。
尽快给我回信好吗？我真的想早点收到你的信。
挚爱的：莉莉

Dear aunt，
Thank you very much for the subscription to 21st Century for me. I have received the latest edition by post mail. Someone must have told you that it is my favorite newspaper; and of course, you know it is very helpful for me to enlarge my vocabulary and enhance my reading comprehension through reading English newspapers.
Every week the arrival of a new copy will mean new studying projects to me, and seeing the newspaper will remind me of your kind love. You couldnt have chosen a better present for me.
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Dear Cathy,
I am writing to express our heartfelt thanks for taking good care of smart while we were on holiday. He was such a happy dog when we got home; we knew he must have had lots of loving attention. When we used to pick up from the kennel he would whimper and carry on for hours.
You not only saved us some money, you also spared us the worry of how he was doing while we were away. Your kind help is very much appreciated, not only by smart, but also by our whole family as well.
Yours truly,

Dear John,
I am eagerly looking forward to your visit to our city. After all these years of writing to each other, I can not wait to see you. However, I regret to inform you that I will not be able to meet you at the airport on time.
The reason is that your flight will arrive early in the morning, and the earliest I can reach the airport will be about an hour after you land. Will you please wait for me in the arrival lounge? You can have breakfast while you wait.
By the way, as we have never met I must tell you home to identify me: I am of 165cm tall and have a long hair. In addition, I will wear a white skirt and carry a China Daily at hand.
Hope we can meet soon.
Sincerely yours,

亲爱的约翰：
我非常期待着你来参观我们的城市。这么多年来我们一直通信，我早就想见到你了。但是很抱歉我不能按时到机场接你。
因为你的飞机是一大早就到达机场，而我最早也要1小时后才能到。你能不能在旅客休息室等我，你可以利用这段时间吃早饭。
随便说一句，因为我们没过面，我得告诉你怎么找我：我大概1.65米，长发。另外我会穿一件白色的裙子，手上拿一份中国日报。
希望早点见到你。
你真挚的：艾丽丝

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am glad to hear that the library is to take some measures to improve its service and facilities. So I am writing to offer my proposals.
We all know that libraries play a vital role in the education and entertainment of the general reader. In my opinion, our library should do its best to purchase the latest publications as well as make sure that it has a full set of classical and reference works. Another important facility I suggest is the Internet via computers. In this way, the library will expand its services to a larger number of readers.
All in all, I think a library should take all necessary measures to keep up with the times. I will highly appreciate your consideration of my proposals.
Yours sincerely,
Donna

我们都知道图书馆在对大众的教育和娱乐方面起了很重要的作用。我认为我们的图书馆应该尽量购买最新的出版物，另外要保证收藏所有的经典书和参考书。另外我要建议的是电子图书馆。这样，更多的人可以享受到图书馆的服务。
总之，我想一个好的图书馆应该紧跟时代的发展。希望你能考虑我的建议。

Dear Sir,
I am writing to let you know the deplorable attitude of one of your staff member. I received my telephone bill for the previous month from you and thought there were some errors in calculation: I had been overcharged for two overseas calls.
However, when I called your Complaints Department, the girl who answered my phone was very rude. For one thing she interrupted me continually, for another she even said that the fault was my own. Needless to say, such a way of dealing with customers is unacceptable.
I would like to suggest that the girl in question should be disciplined, and instructed on the proper way to deal with clients. And I hope she can make formal apology to me.
An early response will be appreciated.
Sincerely yours,
Donna

亲爱的先生：
我写这封信是为了让你知道你们一个员工的服务态度。我收到你们上个月的话费单后发现有些计算错误，我觉得我被多收了两个国际长途费用。
但当我打电话询问客服部门时，接电话的女孩态度非常粗鲁。一方面她总是打断我的话，另一方面她甚至说错误在我。这样对待客户的态度实在让人难以接受。
我建议对这个女孩进行惩罚，另外告诉该如何对待客户。我希望她能向我正式道歉。
请早日回复。

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am a Chinese student who wishes to pursue further study at your university. I plan to start my course next semester, and it would be highly appreciated if you would provide me with some essential information.
First, how much are the tuition fees? Though I intend to be selfsupporting, I would be interested to know if there are any scholarships available for international students. Second, I wonder what qualifications I need to follow a course at your university, now I have got a masters degree in a Chinese university, is it enough? Third, as regards to accommodations, if possible, I would like to have a single room, but if single rooms are expensive, I would be willing to share.
I am looking forward to your reply, and to attending your esteemed institution.
Yours sincerely,

我是一个中国学生，我想到贵校继续深造。我打算下学期开始上课，如您能告知我一些基本的信息将感激不尽。
首先，学费是多少？尽管我想自费，但如果有为国际留学生提供的奖学金我也非常感兴趣。第二，我想知道到贵校上学需要什么资格，我现在拿到了中国一所大学的硕士学位，这样可以吗？第三，至于住宿条件，如果可能我想要单人房间，但如果单人房间太贵，我也可以合住。
我期待着您的回复，更希望早日成为贵校的一员。

To: Mr. Brown manager of operations
From: Betty Green Supervisor
Subject: comments on the "punchin" system
Date: September 21
This is further to your memo dated back to June 12, 2006, in which you proposed that the employees adopt the “punchin” system.
I fully agree with you that we should take measures to increase the productivity and that we would a tighter control over the employees if the “punchin” system is adopted. However, honestly speaking, I dont think that adopting a tighter system will increase productivity. The most effective way to increase productivity, in my opinion, is to give the employees more incentives to work. I think we could further discuss other possibility of achieving this goal.
Your consideration of this suggestion would be highly appreciated.
Yours sincerely,
Betty Green

这是回复你2006年6月12日的备忘录，当时你建议所有的员工采用打卡考勤制度。
我非常同意你的看法，我们应该采取措施提供工作效率，如果采用打卡考勤制度我们可以更严格的控制员工。但说实话，我并不认为实行打卡制度就可以提高工作效率。我认为，提高工作效率最好的办法就是给员工更多的鼓励。对于实现这一目的的方式我们还可以继续探讨。
希望你能认真考虑这个建议。

十二. 摘要
范文
Directions: Study the following essay carefully and write a summary in about 100 words.

Student Rights
By Jeff Bakersfield
Who knows better than the students themselves what a university should do for them and how they should be treated? Yet how often do students have any say at all in such important issues as faculty selection, curriculum planning, and scheduling? The answer is obvious: never. If university administrations refuse to include student representatives in the decision-making process, something drastic must be done.
Lets examine what is happening right here on our own campus in the areas mentioned above. The first major issue is the selection of faculty members. Never in the history of this college has a student been permitted to interview, examine the credentials of, or even meet prospective professors. All hiring is done by a joint administrativefaculty committee, often made up of people who will not even have extensive dealings with the individuals after they begin teaching. Those who have the most at stake and whose lives and academic careers will be governed by the professors - the students themselves - never even meet the new teachers until the first class meeting. No one is better equipped to evaluate a professors ability to communicate with students than those whom he or she intends to teach. Anyone can read curriculum vitae to ascertain the level of professional training and experience someone has had, but the best judges of a teachers ability to teach, which is the primary function of any professor, are undoubtedly the students themselves. WWW.GONGWU.COM.CN 2005-8-13 2:39:46
Students interest in and commitment to appropriate curricula are even more obvious. We have come to college with very specific purposes in mind: to prepare ourselves intellectually and practically for the future. We know what we need to learn in order to compete successfully with others in our chosen fields. Why should we be kept out of the curriculum planning process? If we pay for the textbooks, spend hours in the library doing research, and burn the midnight oil studying for tests and exams, why are we not permitted to give our opinions about the materials we will spend so many hours studying? It is imperative that our views be made known to curriculum planners.
Finally, the area of scheduling is of vital interest to students. The hours at which classes are offered affect the workings of our daily lives. Many of us must juggle work and class schedules, but often administrators ignore such problems when they schedule classes. Schedules must be convenient and flexible so that all students have equal opportunities to take the most popular classes and those which are most essential to their majors. If students helped with scheduling, never would there be two required courses offered at the same time for only one semester per academic year. Never would we have to wait two or three semesters to take a course that is a prerequisite for other desired courses, nor would we have to race across campus in ten minutes to get from one class to the next. Students are vitally concerned with the scheduling area.W004-5-27 22:15:08
In the 1960s and early 1970s, students were not too shy or fearful to demonstrate against the injustices they saw in the draft system and the Vietnam conflict. Why should students today be afraid to voice their opinions about the very important issues that affect their very lives? It is imperative that students act to protect their own rights. Fellow university students, I urge that you meet together and draw up demands to be presented to the administration. We must take the future in our own hands, not be led to it like passive sheep. Let us act now so that we will not be sorry later!
Summary :
In his essay, Student Rights, Jeff Bakersfield stated that students had the right to be involved in university administrative decisions. Using the current situation on his own college campus as an example, he emphasized that students should be included in decisions regarding selection of faculty, curriculum planning, and scheduling of classes. He pointed out that students not only had more vital interests in the decisions made in these areas than those who traditionally settle the issues, but that they were also better equipped through their experiences as students to make intelligent decisions about them. Bakersfield concluded by stating that it was crucial for students to become actively involved in protesting unilateral administrative decisions and proposed that they meet to discuss their mutual interests and demands.
译文
在学生的权利一文中，Jeff Bakersfield强调学生有权利参与学校行政决定的过程。他举了他所在学校作为例子，强调学生应该参与到员工招募、课程设置和课时安排等方面的决定。他指出学生对这些决定比那些做决定的人更感兴趣，另外，让他们做出关系切身利益的决定使他们更能成为好学生。Bakersfield 总结到学生应该主动要求打破原来单边决定模式，学生应该在一起讨论他们共同的兴趣和要求。

To: Professor Barbara Felton
From: James Green
Date: April 12, 2005
Subject: First progress report on research paper
This is the first of the two progress reports you asked me to submit about my research paper on the advantages and disadvantages of electronic mail.
Last week, I gathered information from library materials and from an interview. Of the twelve references listed on my proposal, I found only nine, for others I will go to search in a larger library.
As far as interview concerned, I had an extended interview with Mr. Moore of General Dynamics, who gave me some brochures as well as a copy of a report on electronic mail he wrote for General Dynamics-materials I hope to use in my paper.
Starting tomorrow, I will begin organizing my paper. I will be able to submit a rough draft by the end of this month.
Sincerely yours,
James Green
