Dear Mary,

I am very delighted to hear you are paying a visit to China during your summer holiday.Now I'll tell you something about the Great Wall, which is a famous tourist attraction in China.

The Great Wall is one of the wonders of the world with a history of over twenty centuries.The first part of it was built during the Spring and Autumn Period.During the Warring States Period, more walls were put up to defend the borders of different kingdoms.It was during the Qin Dynasty that Emperor Qin had all the walls joined up.Thus, the Great Wall came into being.

Today the Great Wall has become a place of interest not only to the Chinese but to people from all over the world.

Hope you will have a good time.

Yours,

Li Hua

Dear Henry,

Knowing you are so interested in traditional Chinese culture that you are planning to take a related course outside of school, I highly recommend the course“Introduction to Chinese Culture” offered by the local cultural center.

The subjects of the course, whether it is history, philosophy, art or traditions,all provide a comprehensive overview of various aspects of Chinese culture.It not only covers theoretical knowledge but also has practical activities, such as calligraphy and tea ceremony classes.

To learn the course well, I suggest immersing yourself in Chinese culture as much as possible.Additionally, practicing Mandarin Chinese would also be beneficial as it will help you understand the culture on a deeper level.

I believe this course will be a wonderful opportunity for you to explore and appreciate the richness of traditional Chinese culture.

Best regards,

Li Hua

Dear Jenny,

Thank you for asking about the recent discovery of ancient Chinese wooden slips.

Discovered in Chongqing Municipality, these wooden slips date back to the Western Han Dynasty and provide insights into the Chinese astronomical calendar.The well-preserved set of 23 slips related to the Ten Heavenly Stems and 12 Earthly Branches, used to divide a day into 12 two-hour periods.This discovery is significant as it sheds light on burial customs of the area and the history of China.

The tomb dates back to 193 BC,making it one of the oldest Western Han Dynasty tombs and contributing to our understanding of Chinese culture.

Best regards,

Li Hua

Deep understanding

1.It doesn't contradict the fisherman's“tough” image.It is the instinct of every fighter who runs out of energy to fight to have a brief hesitation and fear, but when facing emergency, he does not hesitate to fight, which makes the character more real.At the same time, the unbeaten spirit is not only reflected in the fight between the old man and the shark, but also in the inner struggle where he is shaky, suspicious and wants to compromise.The victory of this kind of struggle explains the real value of the unbeaten spirit—one cannot be defeated by himself.

2.From the secular point of view, the old man may be a loser.But actually, he is a“tough guy” who does not bow to fate, a warrior who fights bravely with courage,perseverance and wisdom no matter how difficult the environment is and a person who defends the “dignity of human soul”.He is a loser, a failed hero and a “tough”man.

Post-reading activity

1.What is success? Everyone can have his own opinion.As far as I'm concerned, success is to be yourself—follow your inner enthusiasm, do what you want to do, and live in the way you want.

2.Struggling in trouble, I should have unyielding faith in myself, the courage to face challenges, unwavering determination and invincible dignity.Because man is not made for defeat—a man can be destroyed but not defeated.

3.You are just an ordinary fisherman on the deep sea.When the waves roll, you never flinch.When sharks strike, you never fear.When difficulties approach,you never blench.When failure comes, you ignore it.Nothing can knock you out and nothing can hurt you.You defend the“dignity of human soul” with your action.

If there is one thing in the world called fearlessness, the person who can prove it is Santiago.

If there is something in the world called persistence, the person who owns it is Santiago.

If there is a kind of person called a hero, his name is Santiago.

Dear Terry,

Knowing that you're going to my hometown Beijing for vacation, I'm more than pleased to give you some advice.

I suggest taking the high-speed train to Beijing from Guangzhou.For one thing,it's comfortable and convenient.For another, you can enjoy the wonderful scenery along the way.After you arrive in Beijing, the first place I recommend you to go is the Great Wall.As a symbol of ancient Chinese civilization, it is one of the world's oldest and most magnificent manmade constructions.The next place of interest you cannot miss is the Summer Palace, which is the largest and bestpreserved royal garden in the world.

May you have an unforgettable tourist experience!

Yours,

Li Hua

Paragraph 1:

I noticed the flame was reaching up.Seeing this, Mom pounded the door hurriedly.Frozen with fear, I stood rooted to the spot.By then, both of us were coughing and our eyes were stinging.Time seemed to stand still, though we were probably there for only two or three minutes.Just as I was beginning to suffocate, the door opened.Jane stood there, totally confused.Mom was right—she had been unaware of what was happening.Grabbing her hand and mine, Mom led us downstairs and rushed outside to a safe spot against time.Paragraph 2:

Luckily,some neighbors passing by stopped and offered help.The firemen had just arrived and set about fighting the fire blaze, which was reaching up to the two floors above the motorcycle shop.Comprehending the gravity of the situation, Jane broke down.Holding my mother's hands tightly, and with tears flowing down her cheeks, she spoke something to Mom.I could not hear what she said, but there was no mistaking her gratitude.I dread to think what would have happened if Mom had not turned back for her.How brave my Mom was!

第二節(jié)

Paragraph 1:

Finally,I arrived at Room 512.I turned the key in the lock and pushed the door a little open, with Dad still complaining about his hurting knee or something.I put my head in, expecting the worst.But much to my surprise, the room wasn't empty at all.It was furnished with two sets of desks and chairs, bookshelves, curtains,a TV and several pleasant paintings on the walls.

Paragraph 2:

And there on a well-made bed sat a girl,my new roommate.She was dressed simply but neatly.Greeting me with a nod,she said in a soft voice, “Hi, I'm Amy.You must be Cori.” Then, she turned down the music and looked over at Dad, “And of course, you're Mr Faber,” she said smiling.“Would you like a glass of iced tea?”Dad's face turned decidedly less red before he could bring out a “yes”.I knew then that Amy and I would be friends and my first year of college would be a success.
