Suppose you have found something wrong with the electronic dictionary that you bought from an online store the other day. Write an email to the customer service center to
1 make a complaint, and
2 demand a prompt solution.
Dear Sir or Madam,
I bought/ordered an electronic dictionary from your online shop on January 1st, but I found it has some problems after using it for a short period of time.
To begin with, the battery needs recharging after a mere 2 hours of use. This means that I need to carry my charger with me when I go out for a day. In addition, the buttons on the electronic dictionary are so small that it is nearly impossible to type anything with them. Personally, I found this to be completely unacceptable.
Therefore, I would like either to change for another model that works well or a full refund. I am looking forward to your prompt reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to express/air dissatisfaction/disappointment/concern regarding accommodation. I would prefer to move into a single room next semester, as I find the present sharing arrangement inconvenient.
I must explain that the reason for my dissatisfaction is my roommate’s inconsiderate behavior. For one thing, his friends are constantly visiting him; for another, he regularly holds noisy parties.
To solve this problem/surmount this difficulty/improve this situation/crack this hard nut, I hope to draw the attention of the authorities concerned. I am sure you will agree that the only solution for me is to move into a room of my own. Therefore, I would be grateful if you could find a single room for me, preferably not in the same building but as near to the college campus as possible.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
尊敬的先生或女士:
我写信是为了表达关于住宿的不满。由于我发现目前的居住状况很不方便,我想下学期搬到一个单间。
我需要解释的是,我不满的原因是我室友不体谅的行为。首先,他的朋友经常来访。其次,他经常举办一些吵闹的聚会。
为了解决这个问题,我希望引起有关当局的'注意。我相信您也会同意,唯一的解决措施是搬到一个我自己的房间。因此,如果您可以给我找一个最好不在同楼,但离校园越近越好的单间,我将非常感谢。
您真诚的,
李明
(1)不要纯粹翻译诗句。
(2)改写的内容不能脱离古诗词原来的意境。
(3)在符合古诗词原意的基础上可适当地进行想象、创新。
(4)行文过程中适当运用一定的修辞手法,比如比喻、拟人等,可令改写的文字更加生动。
(5)描写人物可适当运用语言描写、心理描写、动作描写。
(6)补充背景材料。在改写一些古诗时,还可以根据诗的内容特点和自己的理解情况,适当地补充季节特征、天气状况、地理环境、人物身份、事情起因等方面的背景材料。这样一来,就能进一步使改写的内容更加具体,生动形象。
总的来说,在深入理解古诗的基础上,只要能恰当地翻译出诗的意思,充分地想象和领略诗的意境,和谐地融入人物的感受,并自然地添加有关背景材料,就一定能使改写出的习作具体、生动。虽然改写后已不再是诗的体裁,却仍然充满诗意,能给人以美的艺术享受。《宿新市徐公店》改写
夕阳西下,劳累了一天的杨万里走在新市的小路上,想找个地方投宿。这时,“徐工店”三个大字映入了他的眼帘。他急忙快步走去。一进入客房,他倒头就睡。
早晨,小鸟叽叽喳喳的叫声吵醒了杨万里。他推开窗,一股清新的空气扑鼻而来。
杨万里披上外衣走出了客栈,来到了田间小路上。小鸟站在枝头上,唱着欢快的歌儿。小河里的鱼儿蹦啊,跳啊,水声响彻小河上空。
太阳从东方徐徐升起,阳光缕缕,照在田野上。田野里大片大片的油菜花金黄金黄的,像是铺了一地金子,是不是天上的神仙不小心撒下来的?
杨万里不禁由衷地赞叹道:“真美呀!”
“快来呀!这儿有一只黄蝴蝶!”
杨万里循声望去,只见十几个扎着冲天辫、身穿布衣、手拿网兜的小孩子。正追赶着一只美丽的蝴蝶。
蝴蝶全身金黄金黄的翅膀上镶嵌着五颜六色的斑点。在阳光的映照下,一闪一闪的犹如一只会飞的金子在翩翩起舞。
它时而跳着小苹果,时而落在还没谢落的花儿采蜜,时而飞上飞下,调皮地对孩子们说:“你们捉不到我!捉不到我!”孩子们气得直跺脚。
蝴蝶也许累了,停歇在未成荫的叶子上。二狗子小声地对大家说:“嘘。现在是个好机会,我去把它给捉来。”
二狗子猫着腰,蹑手蹑脚地拿着网兜,向蝴蝶走去。“三米、二米、一米……”此时此刻,二狗子大气都不敢出了,悄悄地举起网兜,以迅雷不及掩耳之势朝蝴蝶扑去。“扑哧”一声,蝴蝶从网兜中逃了出去,钻进了油菜花中。它和油菜花融为了一体,令人找不到它。二狗子气歪了嘴。
杨万里被逗得哈哈大笑。他情不自禁地吟诵起来:
篱落疏疏一径深,
树头花落未成荫。
儿童急走追黄蝶,
飞入菜花无处寻。

Restrictions on the use of plastic bags have not been so successful in some regions. “White Pollution” is still going on. Write a letter to the editor(s of your local newspaper to
1 give your opinions briefly, and
2 make two or three suggestions.
Dear Editor,
I have been reading your newspaper for many years with a great enthusiasm and interest. It is my honor to write you this letter to give my views on the issue of “White Pollution”. It is my view that the limitation of the use of disposable plastic bags is of utmost significance.
I would like to make the following suggestions to put an effective stop to the wide spread of “White Pollution”. Firstly, we should ban the free use of the plastic bags. Secondly, the price of plastic bags should be further raised. Thirdly, media like your newspaper should do more to encourage the public to use paper or clothing bags to replace the plastic bags.
I hope my suggestions would be of help and thank you for your attention.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming

Some international students are coming to your university. Write them an email in the name of the Students’ union to
1 extend your welcome and

Dear Friends,
On behalf of the Students’ Union of Beijing Foreign Studies University, I would like to extend our heartfelt welcome to all of the overseas students from all over the world to study in our university.
It is my great pleasure to propose several practical suggestions to you. In the first place, life in this prestigious university perhaps is not as satisfactory as what you expected. You may be tightly bound by continual classes, excessive homework and exams. In the second place, in spite of all these adversities, you will still enjoy your life in this esteemed institution. All types of extracurricular activities such as sports meets, speech contests, different social gatherings and dancing parties provide ample opportunities to make friends.
All in all, although there are a host of pressure, life in our campus is a worthwhile period in your whole lifetime. Wish you enjoy your life here!
Yours sincerely,
