祝贺信：
Dear John,
I’m very glad to hear that you have passed the entrance examination and been accepted by a very famous university. I feel very proud of you and I believe you really deserve the honor since you have been working so hard.
As you have mentioned in the letter, there are both some similarities and differences between the college life and the life in high school. First, you have to go on working hard as there are a lot of subjects for you to learn. Second, in high school, teachers will probably tell you what to learn and how to learn in details and will also monitor your learning performance, while in college, teachers work like tour guides and you have to find out your own way to acquire knowledge and solve problems.
Last, be optimistic. If you hope to adapt yourself to this new environment, you’d better be positive no matter what difficulties you will experience in your college life. May you adapt yourself to the college life as soon as possible!
Truly Yours
Carolyn
询问信：
Dear Sir,
I am organizing a group of students to pay a visit to the historical exhibition in you town. This visit will be part of our school’s social survey project. I would be grateful if you could supply me with the following information.
First of all, what are the dates between which the exhibition will be held, and what are the daily opening hours? Secondly, what is the size of the exhibition, what is its theme and what objects are on display? Thirdly, are there any other activities being held in connection with the exhibition?
I would also like to inquire if there is any discount available on entrance tickets for students. If so, how much is the discount and what is the minimum number of students necessary for it?
I look forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
