尊敬的先生或女士：
我写信是为了询问关于雅思考试的考试准备资料的信息。
我想知道您是否有一本包括雅思考试所需词汇的词汇书，以及有答案和范文的历年试卷。其次，我应该如何付款——通过现金、支票还是其他任何方式？如果可能的话，我想使用信用卡。最后，这些书如何送来，我大约什么时间可以收到？如果额外费用不多的话，请您最好使用特快邮件。
如果您能尽快答复，我将非常感谢。
您真诚的， 李明 2、
尊敬的王先生：
十分感激您两个月之前聘用我为杂志《设计与时尚》的编辑。我非常珍惜这个和您以及其他同事共事的机会。这将是我一生中的难忘经历。
但是，对于一个喜欢计算机科学远多于时尚设计的年轻人来说，我认识到目前的工作并不符合我的教育背景与个人能力。因此，我决定辞职，找一份与我从前教育背景相关的工作。
我为离开可能造成的不便深表歉意。
您真诚的， 李明 3、
尊敬的先生或女士：
希望工程这项高尚的事业感动了我，同时这项工程迄今所取得的成就也鼓舞了我。因此，我想通过给贵省偏远地区的一个孩子提供经济帮助，来为希望工程贡献我的微薄之力。

如果您能帮助我找到一个刚开始上学但家庭无法为其负担学费的小女孩，我将不胜感激。本人计划按年度支付她的学费直至她中学毕业。我希望把捐款直接汇给她的家人在当地开设的银行帐户中。
您真诚的， 李明 4、
尊敬的先生/女士：
我是本校的一名学生，常来图书馆度过业余时间。总而言之，您这里提供的服务相当不错，但我有一些建议希望您采纳。如果您能好心考虑我的建议，我将非常感谢。
首先，是否可以请您延长阅读时间？在白天，大多数学生在上课，来不了图书馆。其次，书架上有些书已经过时了。如果您能好心提供一些例如最新杂志等的书籍，我们将非常感谢。
我确实希望拥有一个更加舒适的图书馆。再次感谢您的时间和关注。
您真诚的， 李明 5、
亲爱的鲍勃：
我写此信的目的是为了向你道歉。在离开加拿大时，我忘了把那盘披头士乐队的CD还给你。走的时候太匆忙了，我把所有东西都塞到行李中，没有仔细检查。当时要是多加注意的话，就不会犯这种低级错误了。
因为我知道你特别珍爱那盘CD，所以一定要想办法解决这个问题。我可以寄快递包裹给你，也可以按合理的价格赔偿你的损失。如果你不介意的话，我也可以在下次去加拿大的时候把它给你带回去。
请在方便的时候尽快让我知道你倾向哪一种解决方案。希望你能接受我真诚的道歉。 您真诚的， 李明 6、
尊敬的编辑：
多年来我一直怀着极大的热情与兴趣阅读贵报。我认为限制使用一次性塑料袋非常重要。
为解决这个难题，我想提出如下几个实用的建议。首先，我们急需禁止免费使用一次性塑料袋。其次，我们应该开发取代塑料袋的替换方式，如纸袋或布袋。最后，在商场或超市应以更高的价格提供塑料袋。
我希望您觉得上述建议有益，同时希望进一步讨论这一问题。十分感谢您对我的建议给予及时的关注。
您真诚的 李明 7、
尊敬的先生或女士：
我写信是为了表达关于住宿的不满。由于我发现目前的居住状况很不方便，我想下学期搬到一个单间。
我需要解释的是，我不满的原因是我室友不体谅的行为。首先，他的朋友经常来访。其次，他经常举办一些吵闹的聚会。
为了解决这个问题，我希望引起有关当局的注意。我相信您也会同意，唯一的解决措施是搬到一个我自己的房间。因此，如果您可以给我找一个最好不在同楼，但离校园越近越好

尊敬的先生或女士：
我写信是为了推荐我最好的一个朋友周伯通申请这个职位。由于拥有杰出的领导能力和令人愉快的个性，他多次当选清华大学学生会主席。
尽管他很忙，但他完成了自己的学业——青少年心理学，并取得了出色的学习成绩。毕业之后，他被分配到清华附中做一名教师。此外，他热爱自己的职业并喜欢和孩子们工作。这使他在学生中很受欢迎。
因此，我毫不犹豫推荐他作为您招聘职位的理想候选人。我确信您将做出雇用他的明智选择。
您真诚的， 李明 9、
尊敬的莎士比亚先生：
我写信是为了表达我衷心的感谢。我指的是那天我被一辆出租车从自行车上撞下来的不幸事件。
如果没有您给予我的第一手的及时帮助的话，恐怕后果会更严重。大家都认为正是您在那个紧急事件中的快速反应才导致了满意的后果。 尽管现在越来越多的人谈论到大公无私的必要性，但是我们看到很少有人言行一致。如果有更多人像您的话，世界会更加美好。
您真诚的， 李明 10、

The past several years have witnessed a phenomenon that a variety of promises have been arising from all walks of life. Regretfully, quite a lot of promises are sheer nonsense, just as the hen in the given cartoon commits herself to lay eggs which are round without any angles and corners and have shells, egg whites and yolks. Odd and funny as they sound, such false promises can be seen and heard everywhere in our country. Administration departments assure to perform their tasks effectively and fairly without taking any bribes; manufacturing units guarantee to turn out products of good quality; commercial enterprises swear to provide genuine commodities and polite and enthusiastic services. Can you find anything new and substantial other than their obligations, duties and jobs in these so called promises? I guess your answer will be negative. As a matter of fact, their intention to make such commitments is nothing but to put on civilized outer clothing to please or deceive the public. I dare say that our society is suffering corruption and cheat which are causing damage to society both materially and morally. But the hen and her like should know that by dishonest words no one can survive the intense competition under market economy system. They should remember the old saying, “Honesty is the best policy”.

When we use the word “love”, we do not simply mean an attraction to a person of the opposite sex, which is a very narrow definition of the word. The picture below illustrates the real meaning of love, by stressing the fact that love is emotional strength, which can support us no matter how dark the world around us becomes. As a matter of fact, throughout history people of many different cultures have regarded love as the most sublime of human emotions.
As an illustration of the power of love, we should remember how the Chinese people of all nationalities respond to the call to help the victims of the deadly earthquake in Sichuan Province. Although their incomes are still low by international standards, people all over the country do not hesitate to donate whatever they can——be it money or goods——to help their needy fellow citizens. Furthermore, they do this with no thought of gain for themselves.
It is my view that the best way to show love is to help people who are more unfortunate than we are. We should always be ready to give a helping hand to those who are in trouble, no matter whether they are family members or complete strangers. Only by doing so can we help to make the world a better place, for, as the picture shows, the darker the shadows of sorrow become, the more brightly the lamp of love shines.
3.02范文： Directions:
Study the following picture carefully and write an essay entitled “Cultures---National and International” In the essay you should
1. describe the picture and interpret its meaning,
and
2. give your comments on the phenomenon.
You should write about 200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET II.
