Hi Maz and Bobby,

I don't know what you're up to this Sunday, but if you're at a loose end, come over to my place. We're going to have a barbecue.

Tom

Hi Tom,

Thanks mate, but I'm completely snowed under at the moment. I have to write an essay by Monday afternoon, so I'll be working all weekend. I've got nothing arranged for the following weekend though, so maybe we can meet then? I'll call you later.

Bobby

Dear Tom,

Like Bobby, I'm a bit tied up tomorrow. Unfortunately, I have to go to my great uncle's house for a family lunch. He was ill so we thought it might not happen, but it looks as if it's going ahead. I really can't get out of it because it's the old man's 60th birthday and most of the family will probably be there.

Maz

Ok you guys,

I'm calling off the barbecue. Judging from the grey sky, it's going to rain all weekend anyway. Maybe you'll have done your various duties by the end of the evening and we can go for a drink instead! If you want to relax, I'll be in The Hart, a pub on King Street. Gloria and I are meeting there at about 8:30, as long as nothing else pops up! Don't forget it closes at 10:30 on Sundays.

Ok, time to put my feet up and take it easy!

Later,

Tom

【推荐2】Ann was my best friend. She had come to play half an hour ago and I didn't want her to leave. "Your mother said you could stay an hour." I said.

Ann pointed at the Teddy Bear on my desk. "I'll stay if you give me your Teddy Bear." she said.

I couldn't imagine giving it to her. It was a special gift from Aunt Reba on my tenth birthday. My aunt was a beautiful and kind woman who was never too busy to spend time with me. The day she died I cried for hours unable to believe that I would never see her again. Now when I saw the Teddy Bear I was filled with memories(回忆)of Aunt Reba.

“Come on,” Ann shouted, “I'm your best friend."

I don't know what came over me but I really wanted someone to play with me. So I handed Ann the Teddy Bear! Then she stayed.

That evening I went to bed without dinner. The memories of Aunt Reba brought tears to my eyes. How ashamed I felt. I was sad all night.

Alone in the dark I asked myself "Is Ann really my best friend?”

At school the next day I found Ann. I asked for the Teddy Bear. She was surprised at first. Then she thought for a few seconds and finally said "Okay, I don't like it anyway."

文章大意:本文是一篇应用文。文章讲述的是针对一位焦虑的朋友关于他的朋友陈雷沉迷于网络而给出建议的一封回信。
【推荐3】10 September 2018
Dear Worried Friend,

You wrote that you are very worried about your friend, Chen Lei. I understand quite well that you are anxious and feel terrible. You think that your friend plays computer games too often and spends too much time online.

I recommend that you talk to your friend about his behaviour. It is not unusual for teenagers of your generation to be attracted to computer games and the online world. But spending too much time online is unhealthy and makes it very difficult to focus on other things in life. Some students even become addicted to the Internet and cannot concentrate on school and family life. I think you should encourage your friend to try new hobbies. Why not discuss the problem together? I am sure he will listen to you, since you are his good friend.

All the best.

1. What is the letter’s main purpose?
