A Letter to Citizens of Beijing as to Improving Involvement in Preparation for the 2008 Olympic Games.
Dear Countrymen
I am writing the letter to call on all people in Beijing to perk up and do more work for the coming 2008 Olympic Games. As a common citizen here in the capital of our great motherland, I jumped over joy when news came saying we won the competition for hosting the great games, the first in our history.
But after a month-long excitement, I started to think about the question： What can I do for the huge project？ I had been left with helplessness for all the past months, like many people did. But now I came up with some ideas that might attract you and equip us all with sufficient confidence.
Maybe I would be too old to be a volunteer in 2008, but I will start studying English, and two of three of other foreign languages if possible, to be able to communicate with friends from all corners of the world. We could have been making Beijing an international city in the proper sense of the word. Apart from that I will try to understand modern concepts about making a city, and a country, more beautiful, for example, environmental protection, community construction, city planning, and above all, the quality of being a citizen in the modern metropolis, and make positive efforts to put them into practice.
Actually, we will not be making preparation for preparation's sake. After 2008, I have all the reasons to be optimistic that Beijing, and our country, will be taking a strong position in the powers of the world.
Please join me in the action and extend our excitement into a spirit that dares any possible difficulties！Thank you！
Best wishes to Beijing and our country,
Zhong Guan
（A common citizen of Beijing）

小作文之三——感謝信感謝信是對(duì)收信人的某一行為表示感謝。
寫作策略：
感謝信還有濃厚的感情色彩，具有比較濃的人情味，因此可操作性不是太強(qiáng)?？忌幢銓W(xué)習(xí)了一篇范文，但對(duì)另外一道此類題目也是可能不知該從何處入手。實(shí)際上感謝信（還包括表?yè)P(yáng)信）從內(nèi)容上恰恰與投訴信相反，因此可以直接套用投訴信的寫法，只需將投訴信主體段落對(duì)投訴理由的具體說(shuō)明改為對(duì)感謝或表?yè)P(yáng)理由的具體說(shuō)明即可。例如，一道題目說(shuō)代我在一個(gè)旅館信了一段時(shí)間，但方方面面都不盡如人意，回家后你和家人都鬧肚子，請(qǐng)你寫一封投訴信。而另外一道題則是說(shuō)你在一家旅館住了一段時(shí)間，在那里度過(guò)了一段美好的時(shí)光，請(qǐng)你寫一封感謝信。這兩封信在主體段落上都可以從幾個(gè)方面對(duì)該旅館進(jìn)行投訴或感謝，都可以從服務(wù)、飲食衛(wèi)生、客房環(huán)境等幾個(gè)方面來(lái)說(shuō)明投訴或感謝的理由，只需將投訴信的不滿改為感謝信的滿意即可。由此可知，只要掌握了投訴信的寫法，感謝信也應(yīng)當(dāng)是手到擒來(lái)。
感謝信開頭段常用句式和套話
I am writing to extend my sincere gratitude for……
I am writing to express my thanks for……
I am writing to show my sincere appreciation for……
I would like to convey in this letter my heartfelt thanks to you for……
I feel deeply indebted to you and I really don't know how to thank you enough for your help.
感謝信結(jié)尾段常用句式和套話
I must thank you again for your generous help.
I am most grateful for your selfless donation.
My true gratitude is beyond the word's description.
I feel most obliged to thank you once more.
Please accept my gratitude, now and always.
★例：
Directions：
After being involved in an accident, you were looked after by another person. Write a letter：
1） mentioning what happened in the accident,
2） telling the person about your recovery, and
3） expressing your thanks.
You should write with no less than 100 words on Answer Sheet 2. Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter. Use "Li Ming" instead. You do not need to write the address.
范文：
Dear John,

Although nowadays many people talk about the need to be unselfish and to help others, we see very few people practicing what they preach. But you showed by your actions that you are an exception.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming

范文：
Dear John,
You asked for advice concerning whether you should study history or computer science at university. I will try making some suggestions.
University is preparation for your career. You should consider studying a subject which will best equip you to earn a living. Computer science offers more job opportunities than history. We are now in a high-tech age. For the foreseeable future, it would be necessary for everyone to be equipped with computer skills merely to earn a living！
Of course, you don't have to devote all your time at university to studying computers and nothing else. I would recommend that you continue reading of history in your spare time. That way, you will find that your leisure hours are enriched while you prepare yourself for a worthwhile career in computer science.
Whatever you decide to do, good luck with you studies！
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
