I have a strong desire to become one of them. Im a senior three student in one of the top high schools in Wuhan,China now. That is, Im turning college student this fall, which means I will have a great deal of time to afford. As for being a volunteer, I have more than just enthusiasm.To begin with, a good command of English combined with my perfect native language Chinese is sure to allow me much freedom in communication. Secondly, Ive successfully trained myself to be skilled in handling problems as I have long been an active member in the Student Union and organisng various acivities. More over, 2008 Olympics in Beijing has given me a good knowledge of how to be an excellent volunteer, for which I have full confidence that I am qualified enough. Thanks a lot for your consideration and Im looking forward to your earliest reply. yours sincerely Li Hua (2)Making on-line friends has become much of a fashion nowadays. As every coins has two sides, there are both advantages and disadvantages in it.There is no doubt that making friends on line is in a sense beneficial to us. To begin with, the internet provides an easier access to friendship with people from all walks which without doubt contributes to a broadened horizon and better foreign language acquisition. More importantly, on the internet people can be free in their expression of their thoughts and feelings.However, the disadvantages of making on-line friends cant be neglected. First of all, it takes us an awful lot of time to develop a friendship on line, which would otherwise be spent on lessons. Whats worse, as a result of lack of social experience, there is a high chance that teenagers can easily be taken in. Therefore, we students should not only watch out but try to keep study and on-line friendship balanced so that we can develop the best on-line firendship.(3)Recently a survey entitled “Should museums be free to the public?” was conducted to find out peoples attitudes towards this question.Opinions are found to vary.67.9% of the people surveyed believe that museums should be free to the public as they are important places for both education and entertainment. They say that free entrance will attract more visitors, thus contributing to promoting knowledge and culture. The more museums open for free, the more people they will benefit.14.9% hold the opinion that museums should only be free for certain special groups, such as students, soldiers and the disabled. Besides, the time should be strictly regulated.However, 17.2% argue that, to keep the museums functioning well, museums should charge visitors an entrance fee. In addition, to attract more visitors, they should try to figure out visitors expectations and offer better service instead of free entrance.(4)Dear John,How happy my family are when we know youll stay with us for one year! My parents have already prepared a room with all facilities you may need. It can serve as a bed room and a study as well.We will be able to share such a lot of pleasant hours as going to school, taking exercise, surfing the Internet and visiting places of interest together. Whats exciting and interesting is that we can exchange language lessons, with you teaching me English, and me teaching you Chinese! That way we will be able to know each others country, culture and people better, thus helping to promote our friendship. Im sure we will have a very happy time together!Looking forward to meeting you soon!Sincerely yours, Li Hua（5）Dear Editor,I am a Senior Three student. Recently we have carried out a survey“To whom do you go when in trouble?” The main findings are as follows.61% of the students surveyed select friends or schoolmates as their ideal listeners when they have trouble, the reason of which is that they are in the same age group and have a better understanding of each other. Another 22% choose teachers and parents to talk to. They suggest that teachers and parents are rich in life and educational experiences. Nevertheless, there are also 17% who dont share their troubles at allThey say that their troubles are none of others business. Others find it hard to get along with others.It is not easy to reach definite conclusions based on such a small example. However, some general comments can be made. It seems clear from the response that some students lack communication with others and teachers and parents need to play a more important role in their lives.Yours sincerely, Li Hua(6)As can be seen from the
