Dear Ann,
I’m writing to tell you about my opinion on what we can do to save energy for a better future.
If we want to save energy then we need to change the way we behave. On the one hand, we need to buy appliances that are more energy efficient and limit the amount of time we use them. On the other hand, to reduce the effect the greenhouse gases have on our atmosphere, we should plant more trees. As we all know, trees can absorb carbon dioxide and so they help to counter the smoke produced by our cars. What we may also do is to turn off lights even for a few minutes, for good habits can contribute to reducing the negative effects of waste.
In short, if everyone cares about our earth, our efforts will make a difference.
Best wishes
Li Hua
第二节： 读写任务（共1小题,满分25分）
Thanks to email and text, people nowadays make their communication quick and convenient, and fewer and fewer letters are written. However, it is still believed that written letters are irreplaceable.
It’s true that many people find it easy to send emails and text messages and often avoid writing letters completely. However, I don’t agree that written letters will gradually disappear.
First of all, it seems to me that letters written by people include a piece of soul and letters are a reflection of human emotions. For instance, using the Internet my sister still likes to receive ordinary letters by post, because they help her to feel a close bond with people living far away.
Secondly, for many years the written word was one of the most powerful tools in the world. Moreover, for many people, to write a letter is an element of their traditions. In many cases the Internet is not considered to be substitute for letters.
In conclusion, letters will never become extinct because of their importance to many generations of people.
Possible version II
Thanks to email and text, people nowadays make their communication quick and convenient, and fewer and fewer letters are written. However, it is still believed that written letters are irreplaceable.
There is no doubt that with the help of the Internet and cell phones, people find it easy and convenient to communicate with others. Compared with them, writing letters seems to be a waste of time.
On the other hand, however, some people do enjoy receiving letters from friends and families, and meanwhile, they prefer to write letters to keep in touch with them rather than send them emails or text them messages.
As far as I am concerned, letters written by people will never disappear. Firstly, it seems to me that they include a piece of soul and letters are a reflection of human emotions. Secondly, for many years the written word was one of the most powerful tools in the world. Moreover, for many people, to write a letter is an element of their traditions. In many cases the Internet is not considered to replace letters.
In conclusion, letters will never become extinct because of their importance to many generations of people.
