5.感謝信

Directions: After being involved in an accident, you were looked after by another person. Write a special letter to express your thanks.

Dear Xiaoqiang,

I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude. I am referring to that unfortunate accident the other day, when I was knocked off my bike by a taxi.

If it had not been for your timely assistance in giving me first aid, I fear that the consequences might have been much serious. Everyone agrees that it was your quick-witted response in that emergency that has led to this satisfactory outcome.

Although nowadays people in mounting numbers talk about the need to be unselfish, we see very few people practice what they preach. If there were more people like you, this world would be a much nicer place.

Yours sincerely,

Li Ming（107）

6.邀請(qǐng)信

Directions: You want to invite some friends to a party. Write an invitation letter to them individually, elaborating on the reason why such a party should be held, and what activities will be arranged for them.

Dear Xiaobao,

I will hold a dinner party at my house on April 1, 2006 to celebrate Mr. Old Fish’s marriage with Miss Fujiwora. As you are a close friend of us, we would very much like you to participate in the celebration and share our joy.

The occasion will start at seven o’clock in the evening, with the showing of their wedding ceremony. This will be followed by a dinner party. At around ten, we will hold a small musical soiree, at which a band will perform some works by Bach and Strauss.

If you do not have any prior appointment on April 1, we look forward to the pleasure of your company.

Yours sincerely,

Li Ming (113)
