Dear Bill,
How is everything going? Something is troubling me very much. So I’m writing to ask for your advice.
I’m going to study in the senior middle school in September. I can live either at school or at home. But I can’t decide because both have advantages and disadvantages.
At home, I have my own room. So I can have a good sleep. However, I have to share one room with 5—6 students at school. Maybe I can’t sleep well. It’s a problem. Although I can have better food at home, I enjoy eating with my classmates. I think its great fun and I can make more friends. If I live at home, I’ll have to ride to school. It’s a waste of time and not safe.
It’s so hard for me to make a decision. I’ll be very glad if you could give me some suggestions.
Please write back soon.

解析写这篇邮件首先要提出问题，征求英国笔友Bill的意见，是住校(live at school)还是住在家里，在住宿、饮食、交通等几个方面进行说明，写作时要注意时态问题，这篇文章主要用一般现在时，还要注意句型的运用，象范文里的，Although I can have better food at home, I enjoy eating with my classmates. 这句有让步状语从句If I live at home, I’ll have to ride to school.这句有条件状语从句。
