题目

Recently  you read a book about a place. Some information about the place  is incorrect.

You  need to write:

l Why/how do you know this place?

l What is the incorrect information?

l Why it is important to correct the wrong information?

范文

Dear  Sir/Madam,

I’m  writing this letter to point out two mistakes I found in a book named Paradise On Earth—Suzhou published by  your company.

The  book introduces many famous places of interests and tourist attractions in  Suzhou, however, there are two obvious mistakes I must tell you.

Suzhou  is not far away from my hometown, about one hour train distance and it is a  famous tourist city in China. I’ve been there many times since I was a child.  I can say that I’m quite familiar with this city.

One  mistake was in the preface, in which Suzhou is described as a city famous for  its museums, but in fact, Suzhou is an ancient town famous for its historic  architectures, to be precise, classic gardens.

Another  mistake is that the name of the lake in Suzhou is supposed to be Taihu, but  written as Xihu, a famous lake in Hangzhou. The description of the lake is  right but the name is totally wrong, which means the content and the name  does not match.

I  strongly suggest that you correct these two pieces information on the book as  they misguide tourists and may cause visitors’ disappointment. For example,  for those who have great interest in traditional Chinese buildings, they will  miss the beautiful city of Suzhou because they are told that this city is  famous for museums. And for those who are attracted by Xihu Lake will be  disappointed to find out this is not the lake they are looking for.

If you  have any further questions about Suzhou, please feel free to discuss with me.  Looking forward to your reply and amendments.

Kind  regards,

Shirley

Some  people believe that private schools should not be allowed because it is an  unfair advantage.

What  is your opinion?

范文

Some  people argues that it is unreasonable for private school to exist as students  in these school are enjoying more advantages than students in other schools. However,  I completely disagree with this idea.

Firstly,  Education is a kind of resource, and people pay to obtain resource. It is  similar to purchasing a product at the market. People pay more because they expect  products with high quality and functions. And private schools are usually  more expensive than public schools just because they have the ability to  provide better education. Parents have spent a great amount of money on  education for their children, their kids are supposed to enjoy a decent education  resource than what they can get from other schools.

Secondly,  the supplements private schools provide are mostly focused on extra-curricular  activities, aiming to enhance their ability in a well-around aspects instead  of increasing their score in the final examination that students from all  schools should take. For example, many private schools have sports games, in  which students need to have good physical capability and to cooperate with  other members. And their teamwork ability is trained as well as their bodies.

Finally,  cancelling private schools are unfair to the poor, as there will be less  vacancies for children from impecunious  families if all students have to go to public schools. Children with well-off  family background can have an alternative choice, which can provide more  places in public schools for students who have no choice.

In conclusion, to some extent, children in  private schools can get more benefits as their parents paid more for their  education opportunity, however, it is not beneficial to the society as a  whole to forbid private schools.
