W:No.My mother is from China.She wants to send me to Beijing to live with my grandmother,hoping the holiday will teach me a lot about Chinese culture.

M:Well,do you want to go there?

W:No.It’s usually very hot in summer there.I just want to spend a relaxing summer at my uncle’s farm.

M:So what will you do?

W:I guess I’ll tell my mother that I’ll go to Beijing in the fall.It’s usually very comfortable in Beijing then.

M:That sounds like a good idea!

W:So what’s your plan for the summer holiday?

M:I planned to go to London with some friends.But they’re not available.So I’ll just stay in Los Angeles and do some part-time jobs.

W:Good morning,Mr.Smith.May I come in?

M:Yes,come in.

W:Could you spare me a few minutes to go over the letter I’ve just written?I’ve never written a letter in English before.So I’ve probably made lots of mistakes.

M:OK.Please sit down.What’s the letter for?

W:I’m applying for an appointment as a visiting scholar at MIT.

M:Oh,that’s wonderful.

W:But for days,I’ve been staring at a blank piece of paper wondering how to begin and what to say.I’ve finally finished this morning,but I don’t know if it’s OK.

M:Letter writing isn’t so difficult,though many people think it is.A little practice should convince you that it’s as easy to write as it is to talk.

W:Well.It isn’t so easy to speak English,either.But I do believe that I can improve with a lot of practice.

M:Good.Let’s go over the letter.

W:OK.Here you are.
