I am writing to express/air dissatisfaction/disappointment/concern regarding accommodation. I would prefer to move into a single room next semester， as I find the present sharing arrangement inconvenient.

I must explain that the reason for my dissatisfaction is my roommate's inconsiderate behavior. For one thing， his friends are constantly visiting him； for another， he regularly holds noisy parties.

To solve this difficulty/surmount this difficulty/improve this situation/crack this hard nut， I hope to draw the attention of the authorities concerned. I am sure you will agree that the only solution for me is to move into a room of my own. Therefore， I would be grateful if you could find a single room for me， preferably not in the same building but as near to the college campus as possible.

Thank you very much for looking after my dog, Smart! Thanks to your great (intensive) care, it looks much more loveable and fresher. We came back last night.

You have a friend who is about to enter university, and he wants you to advise him on which subject to speciahize in –history , in which he is very interested , or computer ,which offers better job prospects 1) Give yoursuggestions 2) Explain the reasons 3) Other recommendation

Do not sign yout own name at the end of your letter ,using ―Li Ming ‖ instead Dear my friend,

I am happy to hear that you are about to enter university. You are advised to major in Computer Science instead of History. The reason is quite simple. Computer Science can help you to find a better job so that you will have no worry about hunting for a job after you graduate from university. Even though you are interested in History, it can’t guarantee your future position when you graduate. We should be more practical and realistic. Without work, you will have no money and manage your everyday financially with difficulty. As to other majors, I have no comment.

Yours faithfully, Li Ming

May 6, 2012/5/6 Dear Sir or Madam,

I am very interested in the position offered for waitresses ( which was advertised in Shenzhen Economic Daily dated April 23rd.).

I have been working as a waitress in ABC Hotel for three years, which is a well- known four-star hotel in Shenzhen. I am so expert that my superiors always praise me for my diligence and good performance. They say I am the model of the staff of the hotel.

I am sure that I am very suitable for the job. First, I am qualified enough. Secondly, I love this position so that I will be devoted to it. Thirdly, I am so experienced that I can pass my effective experience to my would-be colleagues, which will greatly enhance the service quality of the hotel. Fourthly, I am accustomed（ｕｓｅｄ）to working in three shifts. I am looking forward for your reply!

Yours faithfully,

May6, 2012/5/6 Dear Ann,

I am glad that the day after tomorrow is (will be) your 24th birthday.

Originally I would like to hold a party to celebrate for your birthday, but I am terribly sorry to tell you that I am in Beijing on business so that I can not come back to Shenzhen in four days. That is to say, I have to cancel the birthday party for you, which I have planned for two weeks. No matter how far away from you, I have always been missing you and blessing you. Even though I can not accompany you, I will convey my best wishes to you and say ―Happy birthday to you‖ in advance. Yours faithfully,

Li Ming

You have a friend who is about to enter university, and he wants you to advise him on which subject (major) to

specialized in—history, in which he is very interested, or computer science, which offers better job prospects. 1. give your suggestion 2. explain the reasons 3. other recommendation

Do not sign your own name at the end of your letter, using ―Li Ming‖instead May 6, 2012, Dear my friend,

I am happy to hear that you are about to enter university. As to which major you will specialize in, it depends on yourself. I think history is more suitable for you because you are interested in it. Motivation comes from interest. Even though computer science is so popular in the daily life and daily work that you will have better chance for your future job if you choose it. But Interest is the most important in study. It can help you to overcome all the difficulties you will face.

In my opinion, Chinese is also a good choice. China will become stronger and stronger in 30 years. Yours faithfully, Li Ming
