Sample Writing
Dear Ms Wang,
My name is Li Hua. I’m writing to ask for some help.
I have some trouble in learning English. First of all, I find our texts full of new words that are quite difficult for me to remember. Besides, the texts are too long for me to recite. What’s more, grammar is also a big challenge for me to learn.
Faced with so many difficulties, I have to ask you to do me a favor. It would be a good idea to introduce to us some good ways to learn new words so that we can learn them by heart more easily. In the meanwhile, I beg you to expain the text much more slowly,which can make the average students follow you smoothly. In addition, could you recommend some rules and good ways to learn grammar？ I’m sure that I can make great progress in my English study with your help.
Yours,
Li Hua
Liu Wen: Hi! I've been studying English since primary school. I used to get high marks in English, but now I'm having a lot of trouble with my listening. When I listen to native English speakers talking in a video, I can catch only a few words. I can never quite get the main idea. Any advice
刘文：你好！我从小学就开始一直学习英语。我以前英语成绩挺好的，但现在我的听力有很大的麻烦。我在视频中听以英语为母语的人说话时，只能听明白几个单词。我从来就没能完全搞懂过大意。有什么建议吗？
have a lot of trouble with
在---上有困难/麻烦
listen to sb doing
听某人做某事
catch：understand听懂
Jia Xin: Listening to English radio programmes helps me get used to how fast native speakers talk. I also repeat what I hear to help myself to experience the feeling of the language. Sometimes I even record my voice so I can listen to myself and compare my pronunciation with the radio host's. My biggest headache is how to be polite in English. It's so much easier to just say "Open the window!", but in English that can sound really terrible. I have to think about who I'm talking to and then decide whether to say, "Open the window, please!" or "Could you open the window, please " or even longer "Would you mind opening the window, please "
佳欣：听英语广播节目有助于我习惯母语人士的说速。我还会复述我所听到的，以此来培养语感。有时我甚至还给自己录音，这样一来，我可以听自己的发音，并把我的发音与广播主持人进行比较！我最头疼的问题是如何得体地使用英语。说“打开窗户！”很容易，但在英语里，这样说听起来真的太糟糕了。我必须考虑到我在跟谁说话，然后再决定是说“请打开窗户！”还是“请你打开窗户，好吗？”或者说句更长的“请问，您介意打开窗户吗？ ”
