6.April

Dear Lucy,

I do appologize for having to send this letter about Saturday night.

When I accepted your invitation, I simply forgot that Saturday was a holiday and that my own guests were not leaving until Sunday morning. It is difficult for me to make a choice. Though I also wonder to meet you very much. I could not very well go out by myself and leave the guests at my home.

I hope you know how sorry I am not to be with you this Saturday. Should I make a visit to you in my other spare time?

Thank you very much.

1) the reason for the letter

2) What you will do to overcome the sorrow.

Dear Jenny,

I do not need to tell you how greatly I appreciate(对…感谢) all you have done for me these days and how grateful I am for the comfort and understanding you gave me when I needed them so desperately.

No one knows better than you how important my mother meant to me and what an aching void（沉痛空虚之感）my life has become without her. But I am trying to take your advice and I hope that returning to my work next week will help heal the sorrow

I really do not know what I would have been without you. Thank you again for everything you have done for me!

Affectionately,

×××

* 假如你失去亲人，你会感到“悲伤”（sorrow或aching void），“迫切需要别人的安慰和理解”（need comfort and understanding desperately）。这封信就是对于别人在此时此刻所给予的帮助表示由衷的感谢，写信人说：“要是没有你，我真不知道该怎么做”（I really do not know what I would have been without you.），请注意英语句子的虚拟语气。

Of course I will show you the telegram about my father’s illness which is received from my mother to support my application.

*本文是一封请假条，一般我们要向上级或老师请假，通常用的是ask for leave 这个短语，请三天假可写作：ask for three days’leave;因病请假则是ask for sick leave. leave在这里是名词用法，文中用的短语是apply for意为“申请”，含有更加郑重的意味，常用于下级对上级或晚辈对长辈的书面语中，“Only child”意为“独生子女”相应的，“独生女”译作“only daughter”而“独生子”译作“only son”. As concern as.后面跟名词性结构，意为“涉及到，至于”与Concerning同意，两者可以互换。

求助信(Letters of Asking for Help)

Directions: You want to study further for a Master’s degree and you are preparing for the entrance exam. Since you have difficulty in English, you should write a letter around 100 words to ask for help from your good friend Fang.You do not need to write the address.

I am sorry that I have to ask a favour（帮忙）of you, with the hope that you will be kind to help me.

I have been longing to apply for the entrance examination for MA candidates for a long time because I want to pursue advanced studies.Unfortunately I find myself far from the required standard, especially my very poor English. At this moment, the personal friendship leads me to approach you with the request, whether you can manage to give me some constructive guidance. I promise to be a diligent student. If you agree, I

will come to your house once a week at a time most convenient to you.

Thank you very much for your kind help on many occasions in the past.
