1.外出購物
2.替房東還書
3.Tracy來電話留言：1)咖啡屋(Bolton Coffee)見面取消；2)此事已告知Susan；
3)盡快回電
Mrs. Wilson,
I’m going out shopping, and won’t be back until about 5:00 pm. I have taken with me the two books you asked me to return to the City Library. At about 1 o’clock this afternoon, Tracy called, saying that she couldn’t meet you at Bolton Coffee tomorrow morning as she has something important to attend to. She felt very sorry about that, but said that you could set some other time for the meeting. She wanted you to call her back as soon as you are home. She has already told Susan about this change.
Yours,
Li Hua

Dear Mr. Green,
I am very excited to learn that we are going to start a magazine together. That sounds great! And I definitely agree with you on that.
Some of the columns which you mentioned in the letter are really my cup of tea. Say, “culture express” gives us a better understanding of the world. Since people from different parts of the world have different values, it’s necessary to learn from each other. This will offer a wonderful chance. Apart from that, “blurt out” is pretty good for Chinese students to learn English idioms and improve oral English. Last but not least, “entertainment” is so cool! The popular singers, actors and celebrities are so catchy and attractive that you absolutely can’t miss it! Teenagers are just fond of the trendy things.
Well, I can’t list more. I really can’t wait to read that magazine!
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua
這是一篇滿分作文。仔細分析了這篇文章，寫的的確是好，很地道的美式英語，一些詞語的大膽使用，讓人不得不猜測此人或者是家人可能有過國外生活的經歷，否則這麽地道標準的英語，可不是一朝一夕所能寫出來的。
比如說：my cup of tea, apart from that, oralEnglish, last but not least, celebrities, catchy和trendy的大膽運用，list, can't wait to簡直是perfect!況且文章中沒有一個錯誤，不管是書寫還是文法。英語能夠學到這種程度，不可謂不讓人佩服。
