Directions:
Suppose you are going to study abroad and share an apartment with John, a local student,
write him an email to
1) tell him about your living habits, and
2) ask for advice about living there.
You should write neatly on the ANSWER SHEET.
Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter. Use “Li Ming” instead.
Do not write the address. (10 points)
Dear John,
I’m glad to hear from you. How have you been these days? The purpose of this email is to tell you about my living habits.
Firstly,I never drink or smoke. I do not stay up late either.Instead,I keep a balanced diet and go to bed before 11 o’clock at night, because I believe burning the midnight oil is harmful to my health. Secondly, I’d like to keep my things clean. It is obvious that living in a messy environment results in a chaotic life.
Finally, could you please offer me some proposals as regards living in your city? I’m sure
that we can get along well with each other, and our university life would be one of the best times in life. (123 words)
Yours,
Li Ming

约翰：
很高兴收到你的来信。近来过得怎么样？我写这封邮件的目的是为了告诉你我的生活习惯。
首先，我从不饮酒或吸烟，也从不熬夜。相反，我保持均衡饮食，每晚 11 点之前睡觉，因为我相信熬夜对我的健康有害。其次，我喜欢保持整洁。显而易见，住在糟糕的环境中会导致混乱的生活。
最后，关于住在你们城市，你是否可以给我提出一些建议？我相信我们能够和睦相处，而且我们的大学生活将成为我们人生中最美好的时光之一。
李明
