Sample 1:

     There is a general discussion currently about the issue of clubs in universities. Our club is to help graduates who desire to get ideal jobs. Obviously, students in growing numbers nowadays realize that it is hard to get a position after graduation, let alone an ideal one. Accordingly, it is a good way to put one’s learning into practice before entering society.

    Quite a few reasons or benefits are responsible for joining us. To begin with, a lot of students have no ideas of getting a post after graduation, and our club may offer you a chance to touch the field of the job-hunting. In addition, it is free of charge. And most important of all, you may have relationships with other graduates, whose advices are of great help to you in future.

    All in all, we assure you that it is really beneficial to join this organization. Those who are interested in our club can send us an email at jobhuntingclub@163.com with your application. Sincerely welcome to join us.   [170 words]

Since our club focuses on English language learning, we will hold regular activities such as English Corner (held every Thursday and Sunday), and some other activities like the Translation Competition which is held twice each semester and is very popular among our members).

    If you join our club, you’ll find you’ve made a wise choice, for our club can not only help you improve your English, but can also provide you with many an opportunity to make new friends from every part of the nation (and quite a few members are from abroad, so you can enjoy a journey among foreign cultures without even visiting their countries). In short, our club is no difference from a realm of language learning and fun-enjoying.

Dear friends,

    As some of you may know, Lucy, a lovely girl student, a junior from the Department of Fine Arts, has been seriously ill. In fact, she has been suffering from hepatitis, which is very dangerous. This 20-year-old girl comes from a small town in Shangdong province. Her family has tried every means to save her.

    Now Lucy is in urgent need of operation to her liver transplanted. However, her family is too poor to afford the expenses, which totaled 120,000 yuan. How can a poor family earning 1000 yuan per month afford such high expenses? But the time is limited. They cannot afford to wait to see the disease untouched.

    So your help is urgently needed. Let's do what we can to save our fellow student. The life of such a lovely girl is in your hand. Your love can save a life. You can contact 2335648 in the daytime and 2335658 at night.

Dear Li Ping,

    In your last letter to me you asked for some advice in choosing your prospective major. I strongly recommend Department of Electronics Engineering of our school. Firstly, as far as the major itself is concerned, it is one of those fastest developing fields of technology these days. You know that two topics that are frequently talked about today are computers and large-scale integrated circuits, and the technology of electronics plays an indispensable part in the implementation of both of the two. Secondly, this department of our school enjoys a very good reputation in the academic world, where you can get a first-class education.

     The fundamental qualifications are that you should be physically and mentally healthy and you also have to get an excellent mark in the national entrance examinations, and the latter is quite demanding.

     I think it’s rather unnecessary for me to offer you very specific suggestions in attending such exams. You have already developed a proficiency in coping with fierce competition, you’ll succeed.

Dear Editor,

    I am writing this letter to reflect some problems I came across recently and. appeal to the improvement of the service industry.

    This weekend I bought an English-Chinese dictionary in a bookstore near my home since its cover is elaborately designed. But when I went home and read carefully, I found that the several pages of the dictionary have been cracked and befouled. What is worse, the misprints spread everywhere in the dictionary and seriously affect my comprehension. Since there was such damage and misprint to the dictionary, I went to the bookstore to require for a replace. But to my surprise, the staff of the bookstore turn down my request rudely and even denied the poor quality of the dictionary.

    It goes without saying that today’s face-paced and market-oriented economy calls for much higher standard for service industry. However, to my regret, many of the commercials fail to achieve this standard and the quality of the staff needs to be improved. It’s self-evident that the poor quality of practitioners in the service industry will not only deeply disappoint customers but also hamper the development of our country’s economy. As a result, I expect your newspaper to appeal to the service industry to attach more importance to the service improvement.

    Thank you for your attention!

                                                    Sincerely yours,

                                                       Li Ming
