从电视上看到流行甲型HINI流感（A/HINIflu）仍然在美国流行,你为你正在美国上学的笔友Jack的健康与安全担心。请你给他写一封信询问他的情况，并给他提出防护建议。

要点：

一、询问

1．他的健康状况；

2．他们学校有无甲型HINI流感病例（A/HINIflucases）；

3．他们是否对这一大面积流行的疾病感到恐惧。

二、建议

1．尽量呆在家里，少去人多的地方；

2．勤洗手；讲卫生

3．多开窗，保持空气新鲜；

4．多吃水果蔬菜。

注意：

1．字数：100左右；

2．首尾已给出，不计入总词数。

who/whoever（谁/无论谁），指人，无限定范围；what/whatever（什么/无论什么），指物，无限定范围；which/whichever(哪个/无论哪个)，即指人又指物，有限定范围。whichever的意思“……的那个人或事物”，在意义上大致相当于thepersonorthethingthat。如：Youcanpickwhicheveroneyoulike.你喜欢哪个就挑哪个。

Whicheverofyoucomesfirstwillreceiveaprize.你们谁第一谁就能得奖。

We’lleatatwhicheverrestauranthasafreetable.哪个饭馆有空桌我们就在哪儿吃吧。

Whicheverofusgetshomefirststartscooking.我们当中无论哪个先到家，哪个就先开始做饭。11.根据首中文意思用适当的形式填写句中的单词。1.What__________(有乐趣)itwillbewhenweallgoonholidaytogether!
