It is made up of (It consists of) six rooms—a living room, a dining room, two bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom. A newly built parking lot (停车场) lies in front of the apartment building. There are a large lawn and many trees around it, which makes the air here very fresh. I’d like to know your opinion about the apartment. If you’re interested in it, just call me.

11. 假如你是李明。请以A Big Funeral Is Too Late为题，向一家英文报纸写一封信，批评子女虐待老人，老人死后却又花钱大操大办丧事的不良社会风气。
1. 举一例虐待老人的事例(在住、吃、治病方面)，但老人死后儿子花钱大办丧事的事例。 2. 发表你自己的看法。
A Big Funeral Is Too Late Dear editor,
I’m writing to you to draw our attention to one of bad social customs – ill-treating the old while they are alive but holding a big funeral after their death.
Grandma Li was my neighbor, who died last month. The old lady had three sons. All of them had grown up and got married, but none of them wanted to take care of her. They let her live in a small dark room. They gave her little food. When she got ill, they refused to take her to hospital.
But to my surprise, the old lady’s sons spent a lot of money on her funeral. The funeral lasted several days, and scores of cars and trucks were used on the day when the old lady was buried. What is the use of such a big funeral for the old lady? It is too late for her. We should take care of old parents while they are alive instead of spending so much money on them when they are dead.
Yours faithfully, Li Ming

Dear Prof. Wang,
I write this note to express my great apology/regret to you as I failed to turn up for the appointment with you yesterday afternoon. To be frank, I did remember to meet you at your office when my father suddenly had a stomachache and I had to send him to a nearby hospital. Then I gave you a phone to call off the meeting but the line was busy. I intend to arrange another appointment if it takes no further trouble for you. I am wondering if it is convenient for us to meet next Monday morning. I am expecting an early reply from you. Sincerely yours, Li Ming
14. 假设你是李明，最近一直忙于期末英语测试，直到昨天才得知你朋友Jimmy这几天又患了重感冒了。你非常担心，写一篇100字左右的慰问信。 1) 表达你对他病情的担忧;
2) 建议他做一次全面的身体检查（complete physical checkup）; 3) 希望他早日康复。
Dear Jimmy,
I’m so sorry to hear that you have been ill these days. Because recently I’m busy preparing for the final English test, I haven’t heard anything about you until yesterday. I became very worried when I heard that you have caught a terrible flu again. So I am writing to you and would like to know how you are now. I think you should take a complete physical checkup and find out the real trouble it the illness persists. My help will be available if you need any help. Wish you good health.
Sincerely yours, Li Ming
