A Letter to the University President About the Canteen Service on Campus
January 6, 2010
Dear Mr. President, 1 I am a junior from the Civil Engineering School. 2 Here I am writing to you to call your attention to some problems about the canteen service on campus.
3 For one thing, the dishes at our canteen are too expensive, and they are by no means good in quality and taste. 4 For another, far from being kind and warm-hearted, the canteen workers always seem to be cold and rude to us students. 5 Besides, the canteen is becoming more and more crowded and noisy with an ever larger presence of vocational students every term.
6 Nutritious and delicious meals well within the students’ means are very important for young students. 7 So it is urgent to take measures to improve the canteen service so that we can study hard. 8 I do hope something will be done to improve the present situation.
9 Thank you very much.
Sincerely yours,
Li Ming

Your Help Needed
June 15, 2007
Dear friends,
1 I am writing this letter to call on all the students in our university to do something for Lucy. 2 As some of you may know, Lucy, a lovely girl student from Class Two, Grade One, has been seriously ill. 3 In fact, she has been suffering from hepatitis, which is very dangerous.
4 It is necessary for us to show our love and help to her. 5 On one hand, Lucy is now in urgent need of operation to have her liver transplanted. 6 On the other hand, she needs more special care. 7 However, her family is too poor to afford the expenses, which totaled 120,000 yuan. It is impossible for her family to raise such a large sum of money in such pressing time. 8 So, it is high time for us to help Lucy out of danger, and let’s do what we can to save our fellow student. 9 Firstly, we can raise money to help her out. 10 Secondly, we can also help her through many other ways, such as taking care of her and chatting with her.
11 If you are willing to give her a hand, please contact us at the number 62233546 in the daytime and 62233565 at night. 12 Join us in the action and extend our love into a spirit of daring any possible difficulties.
Thank you!
Sincerely yours, Students’ Union
