Dear Nancy，

My classmates and I are planning to plant trees by the river this weekend. We all hope you can join us. Here is the schedule.

We are to meet at the school gate at 8 o'clock this Saturday morning. Since we'll cycle there and work in the field, you'd better wear casual clothes and comfortable shoes. ①It would be so much better if you could bring some necessary tools. Besides, we'll have a picnic after the work is done. ②Everyone is expected to bring their lunch and share it. We may return at around 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

Would you like to join us? Hope to see you then.

Yours，

11.購物

Dear Mr.Wang,

Knowing that our library is going to buy books,I'd like to offer some suggestions.What we need most are popular science books.Usually popular science books explain basic principles of nature in a simple and interesting way.They help us understand science subjects better and arouse our curiosity about scientific discoveries.

In addition to reading for knowledge,we read for fun and inspiration.That is why I recommend another category of books:literary books.Classic works,written by masters,present great thoughts through fascinat ing language and stories.They not only offer us joy and excitement,but also encourage us to think critically.

I'll be glad if you can consider my recommendations.

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua

16.旅游與交通

Dear Editor,

I’ve read your discussion on how to behave properly while traveling. Every year, a great many holiday makers go out for sightseeing and relaxation. While they are enjoying themselves, some of them behave rudely, which causes a big concern. How to be a civilized tourist has become a heated topic.

In my opinion, it is necessary to watch our manners. First, we must respect and follow local customs. Besides, we’d better not talk loudly in public places to avoid disturbance to others. Also, be aware that queue jumping is unacceptable in many countries.

More importantly, if we travel abroad, we should bear in mind that we are representing our country, so we need to be cautious about how we act. Only in this way can we enjoy our trips and have beautiful memories as well.

Yours truly

Li Hua

17.語言學(xué)習(xí)

Dear Xiao Dong,

I’m sorry you are having trouble in learning English in senior high school. However, the situation is easy to change if you take my advice. Here are some tips to help you.

Firstly, why not try to communicate with others in English? If you do so, you will feel confident gradually. Also, don’t be afraid of making mistakes because everyone makes mistakes. Secondly, you should keep on reading aloud English sentences every morning and evening. That way, you’ll learn many important expressions. Thirdly, it would be a good idea if you read more English newspapers and watch English movies.

I hope you will make great progress in English.

Yours,

Li Hua

18.自然

With cold weather drawing up, heating begins in various ways. Among all the means, using natural gas is becoming more and more popular.

One of the primaryadvantages of natural gas is that it is much friendlier to the environment. What I mean is that it sends fewer emissions into the atmosphere when burned.Natural gas also gives off a lot of heat as it burns very hot. This property of natural gas makes it good for heating homes and for cooking. Compared withburning coal or using airconditioners, using natural gas will cost less, which can help people save a lot of money. What's more, natural gas can heat up the house in a short time and keep the air indoors fresh.

So I think using natural gas to heat is a better way.

Low-carbon life is good for everyone.

To help with the environment, I always walk or ride a bike to school instead of taking a car. Besides, I will try to use things that can be recycled and I never forget to turn off the lights when I leave the classroom. I think it’s my duty to live a low-carbon life. And even the simplest activities can make a real difference to the environment. So I suggest we should reuse books as long as possible. Andwe’d better not spend much money on expensive clothes.

If everyone does something for the environment, I believe the earth will be a better place.
