Dear Joan,
I was very glad to receive your letter of September 1, in which you asked me about ways to do well in college. As we all know, reading and writing are very important in our study. The are different purposes of reading. We usually skim the text for the general idea and scan the text for specific information. You should read only what you are interested in Learn about the general structure of the books or chapters you read. Writing is an academic cornerstone in college. We'd better write something we are interested in or we know well. First imitate what we learn. Then ask questions about what we learn. Finally ask questions of our own.
I hope that my opinion on how to do well in college will give you some help. Best wishes!
I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Dear manager,
I am writing for a purchase request of some computers and a printer for the following reasons.
First, the computers and the printer we are using in the office have been used for more than 5 years. They are so overused that they often break down and bring us a lot of trouble when we are working .
Second, we have 3 new employees this month, and they also need computers for daily tasks.
What we need to buy now 8 computers and 1 printer, which will cost about 50,000 yuan totally.
Thank you for considering this request and I am looking forward to your reply.
Best wishes!
Yours
Wendy。
