Dear Li Hua,
I’m so glad to hear from you. In your letter, you asked me to explain the differences between British English and American English. They are different in many ways. The most obvious part is the vocabulary. Sometimes different words are used to refer to the same thing. For example, in America, people use “automobile”, “freeway” and “gas” while in Britain people use “car”, “motorway” and “petrol”.
There are a few differences in grammar, too. The other two areas in which the two varieties differ are spelling and pronunciation. American spelling seems simpler. The words “centre”, “colour” and “programme” in British English are spelt as “center”, “color” and “program” in American English.
These are the main differences between British English and American English. I hope my information is useful to you.
Hope everything goes well.
Yours truly,
Danny

The Value of Reading Books
People often say that gold and silver are very valuable things in the world. In my opinion, books are more valuable than anything else.
Books are our friends. They introduce us different kinds of knowledge. And if we feel lonely or unhappy, we always can find comfort in them.
Books are also our teachers. They teach us truth, science, literature, and philosophy of life. Besides, they increase our knowledge, enlarge our experience, strengthen our character and do many other things which we can not do without them.
Books tell us what is right and what is wrong. And books can also tell the good from the bad clearly.
Therefore to read more books is the best policy for our young students.

Film or Book, Which Do You Prefer?
Nowadays many literary works are rearranged into films. Some of us think that it is better to see the film than to read the book in the original. The reason is that it takes less time to understand the whole story. Besides, the film is usually more interesting, and it is easier to follow.
Some others have just the opposite opinion. They think that they can get more detailed information from the original work. Meanwhile, the language in the book is possibly more lively and beautiful.
Personally, I agree with the second view. Actually I have more reasons for it. I think I can stay at home, reading quietly in a situation of my own, and what’s more, I am able to understand the author’s ideas better. In a word, to read the original work is better than to see the film based on it.

Hello, dear friends. I feel very glad to introduce a Chinese traditional festival—the Spring Festival—to you.
It’s a time for the family reunion. All the family members try to come back to get together with their families. Usually there’ll be a big dinner on the New Year’s Eve. Everybody will be happy to eat, drink and have a wonderful time together. On New Year’s Day, people will get up early, visit and give their best wishes to their relatives and friends, make phone calls or just send short messages. Children are always the happiest because they can usually get some money as a gift.
I do hope you can have an opportunity to celebrate the Spring Festival in China.

In recent years, the topic whether it is fair for athletes who carry off prizes in Olympic Games to get high salaries has caused more and more discussion.
Those who support it think that athletes have won a great reputation for our country in Olympic Games. What’s more, athletes must experience painstaking physical and psychological training. Besides, they offer a lot of encouragement to young people to take part in physical activities.
However, some people are against it. They consider that athletes do nothing to put the national economy forward directly. Therefore they should not receive so much money.

Recently, our class have had a heated discussion about whether the zoo should be moved out of the city.
Some of my classmates are in favor of the move. They say large crowds of tourists to the zoo will result in traffic jams. They also say that once moved, animals will have more space and better living conditions in the suburbs.
However, other students are against the idea, saying that the zoo has a history of 100 years, and is well-known at home and abroad. So it should remain where it is. What’s more, moving may cause the death of some animals.

I would like to be a volunteer in my spare time and do whatever I can to help all people in trouble.
My reasons are as follows: First of all, it is a good virtue to help others. We all need others’ help in case we get into trouble. Secondly, we are able to better ourselves by helping others because we can get valuable experience and build up our confidence while serving others. What’s more, volunteering makes us feel better about ourselves, making our life more enjoyable. More importantly, we can make the world a better place to live in by volunteering to improve it.

Dear Li Hua,
I’m so glad to hear from you. In your letter, you asked me to explain the differences between British English and American English. They are different in many ways. The most obvious part is the vocabulary. Sometimes different words are used to refer to the same thing. For example, in America, people use “automobile”, “freeway” and “gas” while in Britain people use “car”, “motorway” and “petrol”.
There are a few differences in grammar, too. The other two areas in which the two varieties differ are spelling and pronunciation. American spelling seems simpler. The words “centre”, “colour” and “programme” in British English are spelt as “center”, “color” and “program” in American English.
