Question

假如你叫Mary，你的朋友Lily 到英國留學去了，但最近她寫信說她不快樂，她學習很努力，但是英語還是不好；而且現在還生病了，沒人照顧她，她非常想念（miss）中國的朋友；她不喜歡西餐。請你寫E-mail給她提供些建議。（至少80字）
                                                                                
                                                                                
                                                                                
                                                                                

Answer 1

One possible version:
Dear Lily,
I’m sorry to hear that you’re ill. Maybe the weather is quite different. Please look after yourself because nobody is there with you. If you are not feeling well for some days, I guess you should see a doctor.
I also feel sad that you are not happy in England because your English isn’t improving though you study hard. It doesn’t matter. Learning English well needs time and practice. If you work hard, I believe you can learn better.
You don’t like western food. I think you may try a little bit or go to Chinese restaurants sometimes. It’s good for us to enjoy different things. You tell me you miss the Chinese friends and we miss you too. Write to me soon.
Yours,
Mary

本文是一份書信，所以應注意書信的格式。要注意稱呼，署名，正文等。
寫給親人、親戚和關系密切的朋友時，用Dear或My dear再加上表示親屬關系的稱呼或直稱其名（這里指名字，不是姓氏）。例如：My dear father，Dear Tom
正文位置在下面稱呼語隔一行，是信的核心部分。因此要求正文層次分明、簡單易懂。和中文信不同的是，正文中一般不用Hello！結束語（1）寫給家人、親戚，用Your loving grandfather，Lovingly yours，Lovingly等； 2）寫給熟人、朋友，用Yours cordially，Yours affectionately等；
（3）寫業務信函用Truely yours（Yours truely），Faithfully yours（Yours faithfully）等；
（4）對上級、長輩用Yours obediently（Obediently yours），Yours respectfully（Respectfully yours）然后簽自己的名字。最后還可以加上附言
正文可包括“你”向“她”的問候和建議。應該就題目中的要點提出建議。可運用in my opinion，as far as I’m concerned等高級詞匯。可發揮想象提出建議。
