A Job-searching Experience
LAST Friday my English teacher told me that one of her friends was looking for an English governess. I asked for her friend’s name and phone number, determined to seize the chance and have my first job.
I was a little nervous when I went to the woman’s house. I was told that the talk between us that day would decide whether I could take the job. However, when the woman, Lucy as she was called, welcomed me into hr house, I felt much relaxed. I thought as long as I was sincere and friendly I would perform well. The conversation went on smoothly. She seemed much more interested in my habits and hobbies than how good I was at English. It happened that we have the same hobby: playing tennis. I told her about my family and school life. Obviously I succeeded and from then on I went to teach her English every weekend.
Lucy told m later that it was my sincerity that made her willingly accept me. It is true that we can play some tricks while seeking for a job, but remember to be sincere. It’s the secret of my success.

A Letter to the University President
Dear Mr. President,
I am writing to put up some suggestions concerning our teaching and campus life. As a sophomore from the Math Department, I am quite satisfied with the present condition of our university, but I’d like to say that there is still some room for improvement.
First, I believe that more attention should be paid to the guidance of our study methods. To some extent, university students are capable of studying by themselves, but more often than never, we find ourselves at a loss as to choose good books to read and appropriate topics for our research. It is clear that we need some advice from our teachers. If our teachers can lecture more on“how to learn by yourself”for us, especially for the freshmen, our learning skills will be further improved. Second, more activities should be conducted to make our campus life more colorful. I’m sorry to say that the present life on campus is quite boring. Every day we have classes, read in the library, or stay in the dormitory. Life here is routine. We need more meaningful activities organized to enrich our college life and enable us to study more efficiently.
I hope you can consider my suggestions. Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming

On a Harmonious Dormitory Life
Dormitory life is an indispensable part of college life. But sometimes the harmony in the dormitory will be disturbed in one way or another. For example, some members listen to music late into the night and make those light sleepers restless. Worse still, the smell of some students’ socks is powerful enough to drive other members out of the room.
As is known to all, a harmonious dormitory life is important to college students and benefits all the members. On one hand, we can have a good rest and put our heart into study. On the other hand, we will have a good mood and enjoy being together. In contrast, an unharmonious life will be depressing and counterproductive.
There are several ways to create and maintain a harmonious dormitory life. Firstly, you have to evaluate your life style and try to get rid of your dirty habits, if there are any. Secondly, when an annoying situation arises, you’ll just have to learn to tolerate each other and co-exist. Thirdly, you’ll have to share with each other and make good friends.
In conclusion, we should try our best to build a harmonious dormitory life for the sake of good study and good life.

A Description of an English Corner
Last Friday evening, we held an English Corner at the Culture Square I front of the English Department. More than forty students turned up, including one Polish and three Russian students studying in our university.
To begin with, at our request, the Polish student sang the song Yesterday Once More, which was followed by the song My Heart Will Go On by two Chinese students. After that, we practiced tongue twisters and guessed some riddles. During the next two hours we talked freely with each other. Many of the participants are sports fans. Many of the participants are sports fans, including the Russian students, and they talked a lot about the Olympic Games and European football matches. Moreover, as for the Chinese students, they learned something about the history of Vodka from the Russian students. On the other hand, all of the foreign students learned what Chinese usually do during the Spring Festival.
The English Corner was a great success as everyone present enjoyed it very much. It is really true that people from different countries can exchange their ideas in English and get a better understanding of each other. And we need to work hard at English to build a cultural bridge between China and the rest of the world.

Dear Sir or Madam,
Thank you for taking time to read this letter. As the problem of food safety has been becoming worse and worse nowadays, I am obliged to write to you.
Several days ago, one of my classmates came back from supermarket with a large bag of food. Because of having found a new style of tinned-fish in the food store, she was very glad. Several other roommates including me were invited to enjoy the“mouth-watering”fish. Unfortunately, after finishing the food, all of my three friends had stomachaches and vomited, their faces became paler and paler. Due to sensitivity to that kind of tinned food, I escaped that suffer. At that time, my mind went blank. I dialed the emergency number with my trembling hand, therefore they were quickly sent to hospital. The doctor said they were lucky to be out of danger because they did not eat too much of that rotten fish and were hospitalized on time.
It is this matter that made me realize the seriousness of the food safety problem. I sincerely hope that the whole society could attach much importance to this issue.
Thanks!
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming

Long Holidays
Generally speaking, ling holidays are good for us students. On the one hand, we have a lot of time to study by ourselves and thus improve weaknesses and further develop strengths. On the other hand, we can take part-time jobs and make ourselves better prepared for social life.
But every coin has two sides. Some students fail to make good use of their time and they are addicted to various computer games. I am afraid that they are likely to ruin themselves in this way. As far as I am concerned, I will try to make the best use of my precious time. I will spend most of my holidays studying English for I am very poor at it. In addition, I will take a part-time job as private teacher. By this means, I can earn some money and put my knowledge into practice as well.

To whom it may concern
I'm writing to complain about a train delay. I took the T435 rain from Beijing to Tianjin on January 14th for an important business appointment in Tianjin. I was supposed to negotiate a business contract with a German company. But due to the train delay I was an hour late and the negotiators from the German company had already left when I finally arrived. As a result, my company suffered great loss and I received punishment consequently.
Train delay is a common phenomenon in our country and has caused many losses and inconveniences. I think the railroad company first of all should take effective measures to reduce the occurrence of train delay. In addition, the railroad company should compensate the passengers in case of a train delay.
I’m looking forward to a satisfying reply soon.
Yours sincerely, Zhang Qiang
