    1     众所周知，英语如今非常重要。It has been used everywhere in the world. It has become the most common language on the Internet and for international trade.    2     If we can speak English well, we will have more chances to succeed. Because more and more people have taken notice of it, the number of the people who go to learn English has increased at a high speed.

But for myself,    3     I learn English not only because of its importance and its usefulness, but also because of my love for it. When I learn English, I can feel a different way of thinking which gives me more room to touch the world. When I read English novels, I can feel the pleasure from the book which is different from reading the translation.    4     当我说英语时，我能从言语中感受到自信。When I write English, I can see the beauty which is not the same as our Chinese...

Rome was not built in a day.    5     I believe that after continuous hard study, one day I can speak English very well.

Dear Laura,

I want to thank you for your last letter.     1     I felt very happy when I saw it. I’m so glad I have persuaded you to apologize to Rachel. Isn’t it great to have good friends? Speaking of friends,     2       I’ve met some nice people here in London and I think we might become close friends. I decided to write rather than e-mail you about my new friends because it’s always nice to receive a letter from someone special.

I met Monica when I joined the school badminton team.     3     我们彼此相处得非常好 and soon a great friendship developed.     4       She invited me to go to her house and watch DVDs. We have been friends ever since. My other friend is Jane. She always lets me borrow her Maths notes. She is hardworking and seems to try her best all the time. How are you doing at school?     5     我迫不及待要再见到你。

Yours,

Sally
