Invite your friend to come and visit 范文
Dear Dave,
I am writing to let you know that at last we have moved to a bigger house! We just couldn’t go on living in the two-bedroom bungalow now that the twins are growing up and the new baby has arrived. So we started looking—and one thing led to another and finally here we are in our new home.
I’m sure you’ll like it. We have three bedrooms now, and a very modern bathroom and kitchen. The kids are happy because there is much more space with the big living room and the garden outside .But Michel is the happiest of all because he doesn’t need to do much decorating.
Why don’t you come round this weekend and see what you think of our new place? We would all love to see you and if the weather is good we can have a barbecue in the garden.
Our new address and phone number are below, so give us a call and let us know when to expect you. Lots of love, Francoise 问候信B7GA

Dear Jenny,
I hope this finds you and your families well, and I’m sorry I haven’t been in touch recently. I’m writing now to let you know about my new job.
You remember that I was working for that construction company a few miles outside the city? Well, I just got so fed up with it –I was working really long hours and, to be honest, the pay wasn’t great. So basically I applied for a job at a new international company that was looking for admin staff for a new branch in the city center.
I was a bit nervous in the interview, but in the end I got a job as one of the senior administrators. I am so happy! The pay is better, the working conditions are great and I don’t have to drive to work anymore.
Anyway, I have to stop now because my sister is staying with me and has brought my baby nephew to meet me. She sends you lots of love and is asking when we can all meet up. Soon, I
hope.
With love, Tina

You and your family are living in rented accommodation in an English-speaking country. You are not satisfied with the condition of some of the furniture. Write a letter to the landlord. In your letter Introduce yourself
Explain what is wrong with the furniture
Say what action you would like the Landlord to take

Dear Mr. Smith,
I am your tenant from Flat 3 on Riverside Street. We met each other when I signed the rental agreement in your office.
I have lived here for 6 months now and I am writing to complain about some of the furniture. As you may remember, the dining table is in very poor condition and has uneven legs. It also does not match the dining chairs as these are too low to be comfortable for a table of that height. When I first pointed this out to you, you agreed to provide a brand new dining set. However, you have not done so and I would really like to resolve this matter as soon as possible.
If it is more convenient for you, perhaps you could simply replace the table by finding one of a suitable height for the chairs. This would solve the problems without too much cost. So I hope you agree to this proposed solution. Looking forward to hearing from you. Yours sincerely, M.M. Egil

Your neighbors have recently written to you to complain about the noise from your house/flat. Write a letter to your neighbors. In your letter Explain the reasons for the noise Apologize
Describe what action you will take 范文
Dear James,
I was very shocked to get your letter saying that the noise from my flat has been spoiling your evenings and causing you some distress. I am really, really sorry about that. I had no idea that you would be able to hear so much, so I hope you will accept my apologies.
As you may have suggested, I am trying to refit my kitchen in the evenings when I get home from work. Unfortunately it is all taking longer than expected and I have been having problems with getting things to fit properly. This has meant a lot of banging and hammering.
As the kitchen is still not finished, I have decided to call in a professional builder who will finish the work in the next day or two. He’ll work only during daytime hours, so you won’t be disturbed in the evenings again, I promise.
Sorry to have caused these problems. Bill

You want to sell some of your furniture. You think a friend of yours might like to buy it from you.
Write a letter to your friend. In your letter Explain why you are selling Describe the furniture
Suggest a date when your friend can come and see the furniture 范文
Dear Jan,
As you know, we’ll be moving to a new house soon and there are a few things that I won’t be able to take with me. The new house is a bit smaller so I have to sell some furniture and I was wondering if(表请求) you might be interested.
In particular I want to sell my big dining table. Do you remember it—the one in the living room? It has wooden legs and a grey glass top and it’s big enough for six people. There are six matching chairs to go with it.
I know you’ve always liked this furniture so I could let you have it at a good price. I’d rather sell it to you than to a stranger!
Why don’t you come around and take another look at them on Saturday? We’ll be here all day, so maybe we could have some lunch together. Give me a ring and let me know. Love, Shanda

Write a letter to your new employer. In your letter Explain your situation Describe your problems
Tell him/her when you think you can start 范文
Dear Ms Barnes,
I am writing concerning the position of Assistance Office Manager that I am due to begin next Monday. However, a problem has arisen.
As you know, I currently work for my uncle’s food-packing business, and you will remember from my interview that I have gained valuable experience there. Unfortunately, he has had to go into hospital for an operation, leaving my aunt in charge of both the home and the business. She has asked me, as this is a particularly busy time of year, to stay on and help her with the running of the office.
I realize this will be inconvenient to you, but very much hope that, given(介词,考虑到某事物) the circumstances, you would be prepared to allow me to take up my position with you two weeks later than planned.
I would like to emphasize that I remain very keen to work with you, and that I will be gaining further useful experience during this time. I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely, John Forbes 教育篇B9T1
Some experts believe that it is better for children to begin learning a foreign language at primary school rather than secondary school.
Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from you knowledge or experience.
范文
Traditionally, children have begun studying foreign languages at secondary school, but introducing them earlier is recommended by some educationalists. This policy has been adopted by some educational authorities or individual schools, with both positive and negative outcomes. The obvious argument in its favor(有利证据为) is that young children pick up languages much more easily than teenagers. Their brains are still programmed to acquire their mother tongue, which facilitates learning another language, and unlike adolescents, they are not inhibited by self-consciousness.
The greater flexibility of the primary timetable allows for more frequent, shorter sessions and for a play-centered approach, thus maintaining learners’ enthusiasm and progress. Their command of the language in later life will benefit from this early exposure, while learning other languages subsequently will be easier for them. They may also gain a better understanding of other cultures.
There are, however, some disadvantages. Primary school teachers are generalists, and may not have the necessary language skills themselves. If specialists have to be brought in to deliver these sessions, the flexibility referred to above is diminished. If primary language teaching is not standardized, secondary schools could be faced with a great variety of levels in different languages within their intake, resulting in a classroom experience which undoes the earlier gains. There is no advantage if enthusiastic primary pupils become demotivated as soon as they change schools. However, these issues can be addressed strategically within the policy adopted.
Anything which encourages language learning benefits society culturally and economically, and early exposure to language learning contributes to this. Young children’s innate abilities should be harnessed to make these benefits more achievable. 有序变量+多分类变量(B9T4)
The graph below gives information from a 2008 report about consumption of energy in the USA since 1980 with projections until 2030.
Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
范文
The graph shows energy consumption in the US from 1980 to 2012, and projected consumption to 2030.
Petrol and oil are the dominant fuel sources throughout this period, with 35 quadrillion (35q) units used in 1980, rising to 42q in 2012.Despite some initial fluctuation, from 1995 there was a steady increase. This is expected to continue, reaching 47q in 2030.
Consumption of energy derived from natural gas and coal is similar over the period. From 20q and 15q respectively in 1980, gas showed an initial fall and coal a gradual increase, with the two fuels equal between 1985 and 1990. Consumption has fluctuated since 1990 but both now provide 24q. Coal is predicted to increase steadily to 31q in 2030, whereas after 2014, gas will remain stable at 25q.
In 1980, energy from nuclear, hydro- and solar/wind power was equal at only 4q. Nuclear has risen by 3q, and solar/wind by 2. After slight increases, hydropower has fallen back to the 1980 figure. It is expected to maintain this level until 2030, while the others should rise slightly after 2025.
Overall, the US will continue to rely on fossil fuels, with sustainable and nuclear energy sources remaining relatively insignificant.
