Suppose you are a reader of local newspaper. Write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper to state your point of view on reading extensively.
Dear Editors，
I have been reading your newspaper for many years with great enthusiasm and interest. Now I would like to render my own idea on reading extensively.
Nowadays few of us read extensively after we leave school. This tendency is rather disturbing， for one should know that reading extensively are no less necessary to one’s mental life than fresh air to one’s physical life. From reading extensively， we can derive companionship， experience and instruction. First and foremost， a good book is our faithful friend. It can increase our contentment when we are cheerful and happy， and lessen our pain when we are sad or lonely. Furthermore， reading extensively can also offer us a wide range of experiences.
Though with the advent of TV and Internet， books are no longer read as extensively as they once were， nothing can replace the role that reading extensively plays in our lives.
Yours sincerely，
Li Ming

There is an error in an English magazine that you feel must be corrected. Write a letter of about 100 words to the editor to point out the mistake， suggest correction， and express your interests in the magazine.
You should write neatly on the ANSWER SHEET.
Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter. Use “Li Ming” instead.
You do not need to write the address.
Dear editor，
I have been a devoted reader of your magazine Around the World ever since a friend recommended it to me three years ago.
I enjoy reading particularly articles in your “Foreign Culture” series， which are both informative and entertaining. However， there is an error that I feel should not be ignored. In the article titled This Is Australia of the May 14th edition， the estimated economic cost caused by youth's crimes is quoted as“$ 4 million” when it actually should be $ 4 billion. It might be only a typographic mistake， but it could nonetheless the misleading， especially to the serious readers who have a particular interest in such a subject.
第二点、尝试着会用as the old saying goes，“一句谚语”等套用短语或者连词之类的。大家应该尝试着学会几种。比如，one， another；some， others等等表达观点。当然针对以一个句型，还可以背一些谚语，或者临场发挥也行，你自己说一句，放在那里，也不是不可以，总之要灵活一些，要积攒 一些句型。
第三点、语法的或用。要尝试着使用，强调，双重否定，感叹，疑问，插入语，从句，倒装，排比等多种语法现象。以强调为例，do not +vt/vi，本身就是一种否定的强调，对于do not +v= fail to +v，感叹句也可以用，建议这个形容词，一定要用别人想不到的，并且比较通俗的说法，比如印象深刻的，尽量不要用大家都能够使用的词汇， 要有点难度。插入语，比如表达想法。The 主语，I think，谓语等等，将I think或者i believe等插入主谓之间或者放置在句子末尾等等都可以使用。
