　　Dear Xiao Tong,

　　How are you going? What happened to you yesterday? I went to the railway station as planned but you didn’t come. I wondered whether to take the train or not. Finally I had to get on the 5:00 train and came to Guangzhou alone, as we had booked seats. Jane met me at the station and we had a great weekend.

　　Now it is Sunday evening. I’ve tried to ring you but there is no answer. I hope you are all right. I’ll remain here for another week. All our former classmates here will hold a party this Friday evening. We’ll feel very glad if you turn up then.

Yours,

Jack

　　提示：

　　1．须把那天发生的事情讲清楚，表达的意思要连贯、完整，可适当增加情节。

　　2．词数100字左右。

　　3．回信的开头和结尾已为你写好。

 Word came on Friday that U.S. President Barack Obama was awarded the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize, and he would join the ranks of history's great persons as the newest Nobel Peace Prize recipient. The Nobel prizes have been awarded annually since 1901 to those who bought the greatest benefit to mankind during the previous year.”  Quite a lot of people have been awarded the prize, such as Mother Theresa, Ghandi, FDR …

On Oct. 9, Friday, Obama said that he was surprised to learn that he won the Nobel Peace Prize of 2009, which he saw as a “call for action.”  Speaking to reporters in the Rose Garden of the White House, he said he was “both surprised and deeply humbled” to accept the award and didn't view it as recognition of his own accomplishments. He also said he would travel to Oslo to accept the prize on Dec. 10.

Rather, the prize should be regarded as recognition of the goals he set for the United States and the world. “I will accept this award as a call for action, a call for all nations to face up to the common challenges of the 21st century,” Obama said, “the challenges, including nuclear nonproliferation(防止核扩散), fighting against climate change and energy crisis, can't be met by any one leader or any one nation. That is why I have been working to establish a new era of engagement in which all nations must take responsibility for the world we seek.” he said.

Obama is the fourth U.S. president to win the Nobel Peace Prize and the third sitting president to do so.  “The president will donate the entire $1.4 million prize to charity,” White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said, “but hasn't decided yet which organizations will share the windfall”

Reactions to his winning of the Nobel Peace Prize are mixed both in and out of the United States. Some like former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, the Nobel Peace Prize winner of 2002, said Obama's award is “a bold statement of international support for his vision and commitment to peace and harmony in international relations.” However, Former Polish President Lech Walesa, who won the prize in 1983, questioned whether Obama deserved it now. And U.S. Republican Party Chairman Michael Steele remarked that Obama won the prize as a result of his star power rather than meaningful accomplishments and the real question Americans were asking was what he has actually accomplished.  “So soon and too early. He has done nothing but joy ride and give teleprompter (讲词提示机) speeches so far. He is still at an early stage. He is only beginning to act,” said Walesa, a netizen.
