It is well known that many of our _4__in everything in fact, from the generation gap to the high divorce rate to some forms of __5__ illness are caused at least in part by _6___ to communicate. By using the quiet family hour to__7_ our problems, we might get to know each other better, and to like each other better.

Dear Sir,

How are you? As a exchange student, I am writing to tell you I would prefer to move into a single room in next term, as I find it inconvenient to share a room with others.

Dear sir,

I graduated this year and wanted to get a work. I thought I would be success, but finally I failed. That was why I was so lazy that I didn’t want to go out. I always complained for the hot weather. And there was another reason nobody know about: I regarded myself someone who couldn’t do anything lonely. I often felt less capably than others. When I found a company that was advertising, I was even afraid to call to ask for details. I wanted to make a move, and I was always disappointed. What should I do? I’m looking forward to receive your reply.                                                                                                                                                                      

                                                                     Yours

Li Ming
