Dear Ralph，
I am an university student．I once thought life at the university must be excellent，but now I changed my mind．I have three roommates，and I was the last one to move into the dormitory．Last term，I got along peacefully and happy．But I find they are not willing to be with me now．They don't talk with me，and they've become cold toward me．Many time，I have wanted to talk with them about how I felt，and I failed to find an opening．When leaving alone，I always recall this sadness．But I am an honest student．Why don't I win true friendship？
Yours sincerely，
John．

详解：
1．an改为a 考查冠词．student是可数名词，单数形式前加不定冠词a表示泛指，因university的发音是以辅音开头的，用不定冠词a．
2．加have 考查动词时态．用现在完成时表示延续到现在的动作．
3．I改为we 考查代词．we指代作者和室友．
4．happy改为happily 考查副词．got along是副词短语，要用副词修饰．
5．cold改为colder 考查形容词比较级．暗含现在比以前更冷淡，即现在和以前相比．
6．time改为times 考查名词复数．time作"次数"讲时是可数名词，其前有many修饰时，要用复数形式．
7．and改为but 考查连词．前后两个单句之间是转折关系，而非并列关系，用连词but．
8．leaving改为left 考查过去分词．根据语境表示被独自一人撇在一边时，用过去分词做状语．
9．sadness改为sadly 考查副词．recall是动词，要用副词修饰．
10．don't改为can't 考查情态动词．根据句意：我为什么不能赢得真正的友谊呢？用情态动词否定式can't．
点评 高考短文改错题的形式有说明文，短文故事，书信等，具有很强的实用性．短文的内容和语言都符合高中学生的实际，从表面上看类似一篇学生习作．首先，通读全文，了解短文大意，把握全篇的时态、人称及行文逻辑，在通读全文时把一些容易的错误先改好，再进行逐句改错．其次，要进行逐个句子的改错．这是要对文中的词法、句法和语篇着重分析和特别注意．最后把改好的短文再阅读一遍，检查答案是否正确，感觉是否还有不妥之处，最终形成定稿．
