给外国朋友的一封信 A Letter to a Foreign Friend
Dear Bob,
I got your letter the day before yesterday. I'm very happy to become your friend. My name is Candy. I'm nine years old. I'm Chinese. I live in Shanghai.
I am a primary school student. I'm good at singing and dancing. They're very interesting. My favourite sport is swimming.
After class, I often skip rope with friends. I like light music because it sounds very nice. In my spare time, I am interested in not only playing Yoyo but also playing badminton.
I hope we'll meet in China soon. At that time, I'll take you to the Jinmao Tower and the Shanghai Museum.
Could you please tell me something about your country next time? I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours,
Candy

给日本孩子的信 A Letter to Mutsumi
Dear Mutsumi,
How are you? We haven't seen each other for a long time. I always miss the time we spent together. What a nice day we had at Zhujiajiao!
The weather in Shanghai is warmer now. Spring is coming. Are the cherry trees blossoming in Japan? The photo of cherry trees in Japan that you posted for me is very nice and beautiful. I like it very much. Thanks a lot.
Our first day of summer vacation is July 1st. I hope you can come to Shanghai as soon as you can. So we can stay together again，and I will take you to more interesting places. I can teach you Chinese, and you can teach me Japanese.
Best wishes.
Yours,
Dancy

给妈妈的信 A Letter to Mum
Dear Mum,
I have been to the Changzhou Badminton's Training Center for a week. The weather is very hot here. We train for 4 hours a day. The coach is very strict with us.
The room that we live in is comfortable and the meals are good. The coach asks us to do everything by ourselves. I have some friends here now. We play chess，and cards, and watch television every evening. We are very happy.
I will return in two weeks and I miss you very much. East or west, home is best. I will train harder and I will tell you more when I come home.
Your sincerely,
Alex

本文是一篇书信体，格式规范，条理清晰。第一段作者向妈妈汇报了在基地训练的情况，第二段介绍了小作者出门训练在外的住、食以及丰富多彩的业余生活。最后一段表达了小作者对妈妈及家的思念之情。更可贵的是，在最后，小作者点明了自己出门在外并没有忘记训练任务，让我们看见了一个积极向上的阳光少年的形象。就算不做更多的描写，小作者在训练场上刻苦训练、挥汗如雨的形象仿佛清晰地呈现在我们面前，让我们感动。

给凯蒂的一封信 A Letter to Kady
Dear Kady,
How are you? I miss you and my friends at school.
This summer holiday, I go to Hawaii. The most wonderful thing about Hawaiian is the temperature of the water and air. For example, the temperature of the water at the famous resort Waikiki is only 23℃. And there is no definite season in Hawaii. People tell me that in Hawaii there is only two or three degree difference between the hottest day in summer and the coldest day in winter. That's why the Hawaiians don't have a word for weather in their language. Perhaps the best thing about Hawaiian for me is the wave. Even long, long ago, people in Hawaii knew how much fun it was to ride waves. They developed bodysurfing—a sport, which is now very popular on the island. You go out into the ocean, wait for big waves to come towards you, jump on it, and ride it all the way to the beach. I really enjoy myself there.
Hope to see you when the new term begins.
Yours,
John
