Hi Worried,

Possible version:

Hi Worried，

I’m sorry to know that you’re having such a bad time at the moment. The truth is that everyone will have one of those periods when things seem to be going wrong, so you don’t have to worry so much. The important thing is to learn to control your temper so that you may not do or say anything you’ll regret. Here are three useful tips.

First, talk to someone you trust about how you feel. This is a good way of letting your anger out without hurting others or yourself. Second, go outdoors and play team games with your friends as physical exercise is an effective way to get rid of anger. And third, remain optimistic about your future. Such a positive attitude towards life can be helpful in lifting your spirits.

I hope you’ll soon feel calmer and carry on as normal.

Yours,

Jamie

【建議變式練習】

假如你是李華，你的美國筆友Mike來信說他現在心情很不好，因為在上周結束的?；@球比賽中，他所在的班級籃球隊以一分之差輸了。請你寫一封信安慰他。

Dear Mike,

I was very sorry to hear that your team lost the basketball match last weekend. It’s understandable for you to be in a bad mood. However, if you can adopt different perspectives, the loss may be a blessing.

First, it’s normal to lose in a basketball match, for you can either win or lose. If you’ve tried your best, why not lift your spirits to face up to（直面）the result? Anyway, the essence of competition lies not in victory but in participation. Besides, you can also benefit from your loss by figuring out your strengths and weaknesses. Therefore, if your team endeavors(盡力) to overcome the disadvantages, you will win sooner or later.

I hope you can find my encouragement helpful. Best wishes.

Yours,

Li Hua

慰問信的正文通常分為三部分：

第一部分：引入話題（同情對方遭遇，表明寫信目的）；

第二部分：表示慰問（向對方的處境表示理解、關心，并給予鼓勵或者提供幫助等）；

第三部分：總結全文（希望可以提供幫助）。

Dear James,

I was greatly shocked to learn that a hurricane took place in your hometown from today’s newspaper. I am writing to extend my deepest sympathy.

It broke my heart to see lots of homes had been destroyed in the tragic hurricane. I can imagine how difficult this time must be for you and your family. But where there’s life there’s hope. Some organisations in my country are launching various campaigns to call on people to donate money in the hope that you can go through the difficulties as soon as possible.

Please pass my concerns on to your parents. If I can be of any help, don’t hesitate to let me know.

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua

1. 向Jenny表示問候和慰問；

Dear Jenny,

I am really sorry to hear that you feel bad after entering the high school.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________   Best wishes!

Yours,

Li Hua

Dear Jenny,

I am really sorry to hear that you feel bad after entering the high school. I’d like to talk about it with you.

In fact, in your senior high school, your classmates are also new and facing the same problem, so you don’t have to worry too much about it. There is also something that you can do to change this situation. First, try to invite some of your classmates to take part in some activities together after school. This will help you understand each other better than communicating with others. Then, help your classmates when they are in trouble and ask them to help you when you have difficulty.

I believe you will make many new friends and you will have a happy school life there.

Best wishes

Yours,

Li Hua

假定你是李華，你的美國朋友Tony因考試發(fā)揮失常，成績不理想而情緒低落。請給他寫封信表示安慰，要點如下：

　　1)表示難過和理解；    　    2)找出錯誤原因并及時改正；

　　3) 鼓勵他重拾自信，實現夢想。

Dear Tony,

　　I'm sorry to hear that you didn't do well in your exam and that you are very worried about your study. I quiet understand how you feel now.

　　There is no doubt that we should keep a good state of mind. As we know, failure is the mother of success. We should spare no efforts to analyze the cause of failure, which could help us find out the mistakes we made and try to make up for the lack of knowledge and skills in those areas. Only in this way can we make progress in our study.

　　I hope that by the time this letter reaches you, you'll be feeling much better. Let's work hard together and turn our dream into reality.

　                 　Yours,

　                 　Li Hua
