Dear Xiao Wang,I am delighted to know that you will be able to visit me for a week during the National Day holiday. I am looking forward to your visit and to the opportunity to catch up. Welcome to my home in Nanjing! As you know, Nanjing has many places of interest to see, to discover, and toenjoy. Among its historical sites are stone city wall, the Confucius Temple with its magnificent night view, and Dr. Sun Yetsen's Mausoleum. With all its universities, Nanjing is a cultural center, offering an abundance of artistic and musicalperformances. It's also a city of beautiful gardens and parks, such as the Xuanwu Lake Park. With all these features, we will have a fun-filled week, especially that in early-October, there are many sunny and mild days for outdoor activities. So, I would suggest visiting these places first, and deciding on the others as our week develops. Finally, since at this time of the year the weather gets a little chilly in the evening, I would suggest that you bring some warm clothing with you. Also, as there will be crowds of people at the stations and on the trains, you need to be very careful with your belongings! Best wishes for a pleasant journey!
Yours, Zhang Ying
那琛: 你好!自从你转学后,不知不觉我们已经分离两个学期了,因为学习太紧张,再加上回家每天要练习拉二胡,所以,一直没有时间写信给你,请你谅解。你的学习成绩肯定还是名列前茅吧!可是你还要好好吃饭,加强体育锻炼,因为上次“十一”国庆节见到你时,发现你瘦了许多,虽然瘦了,但还是精神饱满。我的成绩在班上还是名列前茅,但是,我却戴上了“马虎先生”这个“帽子”。直到现在,这个“帽子”还没有去掉。而且马虎也给我的学习成绩带来了很大的影响。就比如说上次的单元测试吧!本来我能考一百分的,可是写错了好几个字,所以考了九十几分。我把“已经”写成了“己经”,把“今天”写成了“令天”,把“令人难忘”写成了“今人难忘”,又把“太阳”写成了“大阳”„„,看到卷子后我非常后悔,直埋怨当时为什么不细心检查呢!真是太不应该了。还有一次,我报了科普知识竞赛,拿到试卷一看,全是复习资料上的内容,都怪我没有认真地去看,根本没有记住,唉!是因为不认真,没有得上奖。比如是谁发明了显微镜?这道题我居然忘做了,这又能怪谁呢?当时,我很伤心,老师安慰我说:“没得上奖没关系,重在参与吗!但是你也要吸取教训呀!”我听了这些话后,心里很不是滋味!但是你放心,我一定会把马虎这个毛病给改掉,成为一位“细心先生”。
