Dear Bob,
I’m writing the letter to express my sincere apologies to you.
To begin with, I’d like to take this opportunity to extend my heartfelt appreciation for the kind assistance you rendered me during my stay in Canada. During my stay in Canada, I borrowed a CD of Beethoven’s symphonies from you in Canada. Unfortunately, when I returned home, I found to my surprise that the CD was in my personal baggage due to my carelessness.
To solve the problem, I would like to send this CD to you by Express Mail Service. Once again, please accept my sincere apologies for any inconveniences that I have caused. I hope this will settle the matter to your satisfaction.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming

Dear Editors,
I have been reading your newspaper for many years with great enthusiasm and interest. Regarding the issue of disposable plastic bags, it is my view that limiting the use of such bags is of the utmost significance.
To crack this hard nut, I would like to propose several practical recommendations as follows. First and foremost, it is imperative for us to ban the free use of disposable plastic bags. In addition, we should develop possible alternatives to replace them, such as paper or cloth bags. Last but not least, plastic bags should be offered at a much higher price in department stores or supermarkets.
I hope you will find the above proposals constructive and I would like to discuss this matter in further detail. Your prompt attention to my suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming

Dear Michael,
As one of your closest friends, I’m writing the letter in order to recommend one of my favorite movies to you–Around the World in Eighty Days.
The primary factors for my recommendation are as follows. For one thing, this is a science fiction movie which tells us an exciting story about an English gentleman, Mr. Phileas Fogg, who makes a bet with his clubmates and managers that he can travel around the world in eighty days. For another, it gives us a vivid description of the many difficulties and incidents which happen on his journey.
Hope you watch and enjoy the movie. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Ming

I’m so glad to hear that you have received an offer from Beijing University. Congratulations! But in fact, this is not surprising–I remember seeing how hard you have been working since childhood. Now you have the opportunity to learn physics, which you have a huge interest in, in one of the best universities in China. I feel extremely happy for you.
I do want to share some advice for university life with you. First of all, don’t forget your studying. Second, take some time to know yourself well and make your own decisions. Third, enjoy your life as long as it’s under your control.
I hope you will have a wonderful time in your university.

Dear friends,
On behalf of the Students’ Union of Beijing Foreign Studies University, I would like to extend our heartfelt welcome to all the overseas students who will study in our university.
It is my great pleasure to offer you several practical suggestions. In the first place, life in this prestigious university is perhaps not as easy as you have expected. You may be tightly bound by daily classes, abundant homework and frequent exams. Thus, be prepared for the hectic life here. In the second place, in spite of all those burdens, various extracurricular activities such as sports meets, speech contests and social gatherings will still provide ample opportunities to make friends. So, enjoy your life in this esteemed institute!
All in all, although there is a lot of pressure, the time you spend on our campus will be worthwhile and enhance your whole life. Hope you like it here!
Yours sincerely,

Dear Fellow Classmates,
Our class is to hold a charity sale to raise money for those children who are in need of help on January 5, 2014. As the monitor of our class, I’m calling on all students to take part in the sale.
We ask you to donate as much as you can to a fund we have set up to cover these children’s tuition fees and other expenses. Unless we can raise sufficient money, those poor kids won’t be able to afford to finish their education.
As a nation renowned worldwide for its many virtues, China and its people have been giving a helping hand to those who are in distress throughout history. It’s our duty to provide as much support as we can to those in need. Please contribute generously.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming

Dear Mr.President,
I am writing to you to make some suggestions for the improvement of my fellow students’ physical condition. I notice they are spending less time on physical exercises and, as a result, many have fallen prey to physical problems.
I would like to suggest: 1) the resumption of morning exercise organized by the school or department unions; 2) the better availability of facilities for physical exercise easily reachable from the dormitory area; 3) the better promotion on the importance of physical healthiness and good physical condition.
Thank you for your attention. I look forward to your reply to my suggestions.
Sincerely Yours,
Li Ming

Dear Johns,
I’m glad to hear from you. How have you been these days? The purpose of this email is to tell you about my living habits.
First, I never drink or smoke. I do not stay up late either. Instead, I keep a balanced diet and go to bed before 11 o’clock at night, because I believe burning the midnight oil is harmful to my health. Second, I like to keep my things clean. It is obvious that living in a messy environment results in a chaotic life.
On this topic, could you please offer me some suggestions as regards living in your city? I’m sure that we can get along well with each other, and our university life will be one of the best times in our lives.
Yours,
Li Ming

Notice
Welcome to our university! As a librarian, I would like to provide you with detailed information as regards our library.
To begin with, since computers are used by all major libraries to streamline cataloguing, we have access to the Internet via computers. In addition, last semester, we replaced all the outdated facilities in order to provide more convenience for readers. Last but not least, we have just prolonged the opening hours of our library, which are now from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.
In the end, we are so glad to hear that you have taken the opportunity to study in our university. I am sure you will have a wonderful time here.

Dear Jack,
Thanks for your congratulations! Since you asked for advice on translation, I’d like to offer several constructive proposals as follow.
First of all, while quite a number of students think they’re forced to learn translation merely for English tests, you should learn it for some other purposes like its usefulness other than the examination itself. What is more, in order to become an outstanding translator, it is vital to not only appreciate the beauty and perfection of the language and literature of both English and Chinese, but also to arouse in yourself an interest in exploring something deeper in this field.
I’m sure you’ll be an excellent translator. Looking forward to your reply!
Yours,
Li Ming

Dear Professor Smith,
I am looking forward to my traveling to the United States and visiting you in Harvard University.
Unfortunately, I have recently been diagnosed with a serious ear infection which will require surgery on the same day as my departure. I am sorry to say that I will therefore not be able to make the travel plan. If possible, I would like to postpone the travel plan to another day later in this year. I promise that such a situation does not usually happen, and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.
Please excuse me for not being able to inform you of my situation sooner. Your prompt attention to my suggestion would be hightly appreciated.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
