1. Asking for Leave of AbsenceTo: Ms. Riddle, an Oral English teacher From: Sam, a sophomore student in Oral English Class Two Date: June 18th, 2005 Subject: Asking for Leave of AbsenceDear Ms. Riddle, Im Sam, a respectful sophomore student of yours in Oral English Class Two. I wonder if I could be excused for absence from your Oral English class this Wednesday morning. Yesterday evening I got a phone call from my cousin, who is now running a small firm in the suburbs of this city. He needs an interpreter for two days but cannot find the most reliable person, so he wants me to have a try. Personally, I regard this as a golden opportunity to put what I have learned in your class into practice, but I need your permission of absence. If you think I may go and help him get over the difficulty, I am confident that Ill do a good job and both of us will be grateful. Earnestly yoursSam2. On Power Shortage(1). 很多城市缺电现象严重(2). 分析原因(3). 提出建议Recently, every morning when I wake up, I find my air-conditioner automatically turned off. I didnt understand why at first, but soon I learned that there is a great shortage of electricity supply in our citymy air-conditioner turned off because of a power failure midnight. With the rapidly developing industry and the ever increasing population, demand for electricity supply is soaring. Besides, summers in recent years are much hotter than before, so most working places and households are air-conditioned, which consumes additional electricity. Faced with such a hard nut, we have to find ways to crack it. Above all, in western areas of China, there is surplus of electricity supply. So, cities that are thirsty for electricity may ask for remote help. Then, when we have electricity, we should remember to save it. Set your air-conditioners at 270C and you wont feel less comfortable than when they are at 260C. In fact, some factories already shift their working hours to avoid the peak time of electricity-consuming. My parents dont work from Monday through Friday as beforethey work from Sunday through Thursday and have/take the following two days off instead. This is also a way out, isnt it?3.

God helps those who help themselves.My dear aunt,Im greatly surprised and sad to hear that youre laid off. But please dont worry too much. All roads lead to Rome. I believe we will find a way out. I remember when I was a child, I had so many colorful and comfortable sweaters that I became my friends envy. Those were all your masterpieces. Recently I made a survey in the city where Im living now, and found that unique hand-knitted things are much more welcome than mass products.

But there arises a controversy: does it merit all the large sum of money and efforts (put in to achieve the success)?Given the poor conditions in rural China, the children not being able to go to school, the husbands struggling to sustain a family, the old having difficulty living a healthy and happy life, some critics hold that the money, which has gone to the research of space flight, should have been taken better advantage of to improve peoples lives in the not so developed areas in China. They wonder what on earth the significance is to these people as far as the space flight is concerned.But tastes differ. Those who approve of space flight maintain that it not only indicates our countrys progress in science and technology but also benefits all of us in that it helps in other scientific areas, Additionally, to compete in the world, we have to invest in space exploration to win worldwide attention and respect.From my point of view, what we should give priority to is peoples lives, as it is the fundamental problem of almost every country. On the other hand, we should keep pace with the world in science and technology, space flight included. Only in this way can we have an advanced and harmonious society to live in.6.
