Xiamen

Dear friend， Zhang Qiang，

I am going to tour in Beijing for two days. I will take the flight CA2189 and arrive in Beijing at 7:00pm. Would you please wait for me at the airport？ I will stay in Beijing for two nights. Please help me book a single room for two nights from September 31-October 1， the price of which is around 300 yuan. I am going to watch the dress parade of the 60 anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China on the morning of October 1 and visit the Great Wall in the afternoon. On the morning of October 2， I am going to tour around Wangfujing. I will check out at 12:00am. Also， please help me to book the return ticket to Xiamen at 3： 00pm. Thank you very much for your help.

Sincerely yours， John.

There are many new buildings in our neighborhood. Around five thousand people living in it. There is a garden in the middle of the buildings. There are some trees， flowers and some benches for people to sit on. There is a kindergarten， a primary school， a post office， a bank， a supermarket and some small shops in our neighborhood. Around five thousand people live in the neighborhood. They are from different walks of life. There have few chances to contact with each other in the day time when they are working and they stay in their own homes at night. Some children like to play together. There are no quarrels no fights reported in the neighborhood.

目前， 在中国汽车越来越普及， 你对这一现象的看法， 文章必须包括： 1.汽车普及的现象。 2.它给人们带来的好处。 3.它给人们带来的坏处。 4.你提出一些好的建议。

At present， cars are becoming more and more popular. More and more people are buying cars for personal use because cars are becoming cheaper and cheaper. Owning a car， you can travel to anywhere you like. You don’t have to wait for the jammed bus and you can go to a far place with your family for a holiday. Having one’s own car can make people’s life easier and more convenient but at the same time， it brings problems. As the existing roads are not so wide for the increasing number of cars， so there may be more traffic jams and it will brings about more air pollution. Everything has it advantages and disadvantages. It is my personal view that some roads should be widened and more new roads should be constructed. The government should take measures to control the air pollution from the cars. Only is in this way， will people benefit from the popularity of cars.
