Thanks so much for your letter! It’ll be great for you to come here.
If you want some sightseeing, I could give you a tour around Zhong Shan Grave. It’s so beautiful in summer. We could also climb the Mount ZiJin. It’s a great view at the top. You could also eat and shop in Fuzi Temple. I like the stinky tofu. Smells very stinky, but it’s actually quite yummy.
If you want me come and play with you, I suggest we can meet at Nanjing New Street Bus Stop. If you don’t know where it is, ask me for directions. When will we meet, Alex? I think we could make it up on the phone. Any time is fine for me.
Oh Alex, I’m making plans for visiting your country, and can you tell me where I’d like to go? I’ll always be glad if you come.
Sorry, my mom’s calling me to dinner now. Bye! Talk soon, miss you!
I’m so glad to hear from you! I think it would be great to spend the holiday with you guys.
August would be a better month to come, because I must practise piano all July. I hope it’s no trouble.
As for the accommodation, I prefer your apartment because you would be staying there also. But I think they all sound good and could suit me very well.
I’m thinking that maybe we can swim or play polo. It would also be fun to surf, walk on the beach, and collect shells. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have an shell collection by the end of the summer holidays?
I’d like to visit other places, too. Are there any famous or beautiful buildings near where we are staying? I could take some great photos with you.
Fellow students, parents, how are you today? (Answer) I hope the weather is wellgood for travelling. (Yes. / No.) Today I want to talk about how to choose friends. (Oh. /Wow. /Uh? )
It is very hard to find a true friend. I, myself, had some difficulty finding my real friend. You must not be blinded by some of offers, and you must think about the advantages and disadvantages. I had once chosen the wrong friend, which caused me pain in my life, and even now I haven’t walked out of the shadows. ( Oh … )
But I’m not saying you can’t trust or make any friends. I’m just saying you must be careful choosing them. Is everything clear? (Answer.)
So , how can you choose? Here are some tips from me which you could use:
Observe the behavior of them.
Observe them for a long time to see if his/her attitude towards you.
Consider his/her placebehaviourofin sociality social situations.
I hope you are having a good day. Best wishes to you all. Thank you for listening! (Applaud)
Teacher’s comments:
Wow, great job, Pluvia. This is a really good speech. The organisation is great, and I really like the sentence, “even now I haven’t walked out of the shadows”. That is a fantastic description of your difficult situation.
I wish to apply for summer tourist guide at Information Office, as advertised in the newspaper January 6th.
I believe I can speak English fairly well. I have been communicating with British and American people on Saturday and Sundays. I can assume you we can have a lively talk together.
The other reason is I like meeting new people and showing them around Nanjing, my town. I can promise you, Ms Evans, the people often like my talking. The History of Nanjing I can say with fluency and also let people ask questions. I would ask them if they can understand it all.
Can I ask more about the salary? Would it be large or small. Would it dependon the Tours I had given?
I hope this information will be sufficient for you to consider my application. If you need further details, please do not hesitate to contact me. For an interview I could make myself available at any time.
