V. Writing Practice
Dear Frank,
I am terribly sorry to tell you that I have lost the valuable book you were so kind to lend me last week. I read it everyday and intended to finish it next month. Last night when I came to my room, it was nowhere to be found. I will try to recover it as soon as possible. If I fail to find it, I will get a new book for you.
But I am afraid it can never take the place of the old one. Old books are like old friends. Once lost, they can never be replaced. They are connected with cherished associations which the new ones can never have. And for this irrecoverable loss, I am to blame. I was so careless with my things. This is a warning to me to be more careful in the future.
Yours truly,
Jack

囊中羞涩的毕业一族
许多大学生对于寝室生活充满怨言：夏季，没有空调的寝室闷热无比，晚上11点就关寝。
然而，毕业后，当他们不得不将多达1/3的工资拿来支付一间破旧小屋的租金时，他们或许会怀念当初的寝室。
包括食品、水电煤气等生活必需品的价格上涨，也使大学毕业生们不得不精打细算每一分花销，以保持收支平衡。
