Dear Leslie,
I'm delighted that you're coming to China as an exchange student. I'm writing to convey my warm welcome.
I know you show great interest in Chinese calligraphy, so I'd like to recommend a course in calligraphy offered by our school. Calligraphy is the art of producing beautiful writing using brushes, which is not only a technique for writing Chinese characters but also a way to bring people inner peace. The course is given by Mr. Chen, who is experienced in this field and popular with students. It's given at 9a.m. every Saturday in school library and is especially suitable for beginners, for Mr. Chen will teach the basic skills in calligraphy.
Why not attend this course? I'm sure you will fall in love with calligraphy if you attend it and have a glimpse of the abundant traditional Chinese culture.
Yours,
Li Hua

A variety of significant activities were arranged as follows: when we got there, we visited the elderly in their rooms in groups, presenting them with flowers and self-made cards to show our sincere love and respect, after which we did some cleaning and washing for them. Besides, we chatted with them about their old days, or anything they are interested in. Some vivid performances such as singing and dancing were also given to them, making them full of delight.
It was through this activity that we fully realized that the awareness of respecting the old should be raised. I hope we can have more activities of this kind!

参考词汇：垃圾分类 trash-sorting
Dear Eli,
Having learned that you are interested in the trash-sorting program promoted recently in China, I am here writing to give you a brief introduction.
As far as I know, Shanghai has become the pioneer of our country's waste sorting policy. As of July 1st this year, the residents in Shanghai have not been able to dump their waste bags in whichever bin was closest. On the contrary, domestic waste is required to be classified into four categories: dry refuse,wet trash, recyclable waste and hazardous (dangerous) waste.
Faced with the new rule, many citizens in Shanghai are finding it a little too complicated, with every item of waste now under careful scrutiny (examination) and classification. Still, there are more people who warmly support the policy because it helps people to cultivate greener lifestyle habits and helps China to become a more beautiful country.
Yours,

As you know, Chinese Tea Art is my favorite optional course, which I think represents the outstanding traditional Chinese culture. The class consists of one lecture given by a local tea specialist and one activity concerning the skills of making wonderful tea and then serving it. It provides us with a good opportunity to have a better command of traditional Chinese culture.
Chinese Tea Art benefits me a lot, deepening my understanding of traditional Chinese culture and making my school life more colorful.

预测五 中国式过马路
最近，“中国式过马路”在网络上被热烈讨论。“凑够一堆人就可以过马路，和红绿灯无关”。请对此现象。发表自己的看法。
Not long ago, CCTV “Focus Talk” carried out many interviews and made some relevant comments on the phenomena— “Crossing roads in the Chinese style”.
There is a very common phenomenon around us that people just run the light totally ignoring the running vehicles, which can lead to serious consequences. Last week, a traffic accident happened near our school. A rushing car knocked down a student who was running the red light. And because of the car's sudden stop, several cars behind crashed into each other. Of course, this caused a terrible traffic jam.
In my opinion, effective measures should be taken to solve the problem. First, we can make good use of the media, such as TV, newspaper and magazine, to raise people's awareness of obeying the traffic rules and road safety. Second, government must make several laws to punish people who dare to break the law and run the red light. Please bear in mind: Life is precious, and only once!

热点预测2：全面脱贫

Dear Tom,
I am highly grateful for your concern about my country's anti-poverty, which is considered a wonder.I happened to spend the Spring Festival living in my grandpa's home, which is surrounded with mountains. In the past, the people there were so poor that it was not easy to get enough food to feed themselves, let alone beautiful clothing and spacious buildings. Some teens were forced to drop out of school to go out working in cities.
Now with the help of the government and all the people from the rich areas, all of them have gotten out of absolute poverty. Every family lives in newly-built flats, even some of them owning cars. Children can enjoy free education and the elderly are provided with free access to free health care.
I hope you can visit our country and feel the great changes.
Yours,
Li Hua
热点预测3：探月
假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。你的美国朋友Jim得知你对探月感兴趣，发来邮件和你讨论该话题。请你给他回复邮件，内容包括：

注意：1.词数不少于50；2.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。
提示词：探月 moon exploration
Dear Jim,
I am glad to share with you more details about my passion for moon exploration.
It started with what I had been told about the moon as a kid and grew stronger with time. As you can guess, there is rich cultural meaning behind the faithful companion of the earth. In Chinese culture, as opposed to the masculinity of the sun, the moon is often compared to a quiet and elegant lady. Also, it reminds people of their family and friends far away. People feel reassured knowing that they are watching the same moon as if the moon could serve as their messenger.
Human beings have never stopped exploring our closest neighbor. I believe it is of great significance. The development of relevant technology facilitates the progress of science in general, which benefits our everyday life. What's more, I think moon exploration shows an important human trait, that is, curiosity about the unknown, which is the driving force that has brought our species this far.
I hope you find what I‘ve mentioned above interesting and reasonable. By the way, what do you think of when you gaze at the moon? Write back and tell me about it!
Yours,
Li Hua

Dear Jack,
I am glad to hear from you. As your close friend, I'd like to talk about the harm of Internet addiction to you as I feel worried to know that you have wasted lots of valuable time playing the Internet games.
As we know, the Internet is a convenient tool to improve our knowledge and skills. However, our life will be greatly affected if we are addicted to it. For example your grades may go down and your health will be going from bad to worse. To make things worse, it can also damage the relationship with your family. So I think it is high time that you got rid of the bad habit. It is a good idea for you to read some meaningful books and do some physical exercise.
I am looking forward to hearing your good news soon．
Yours,
Li Hua
