(一)预测范文

To Whom It May Concern,

As a student of our university, I should first commend you for the additional computers that you have recently added to the computer rooms. I am writing to you to request that the Internet be installed in the dormitories.

As you know, the Internet has become an increasingly important tool at university. Not only do professors require students to use it for research, but much communication is done between professors and students through email as well. In addition, some professors are beginning to post their lecture notes online for students to review in their spare time.

While there are a few computer labs with Internet access throughout our campus, with over 20,000 students living in the dorms, there is a great need for more Internet access areas.

Thank you for your time.

Yours sincerely,

Li Ming

(二)参考译文

致有关人士:

作为本校的一名大学生,我首先很赞赏您最近为机房增添电脑的行为。我写信给您恳请在学生宿舍里安装互联网。

想必您也知道,互联网已经变成大学生活中越来越重要的一种工具。不仅教授们要求学生们使用网络进行研究调查,而且教授和学生间的很多沟通也是通过邮件完成的。此外,有些教授开始将自己的课堂讲义挂在网上,供学生们课余时间复习。

整个学校配备网络的机房数量不多,而住宿学生大约有两万名,所以宿舍对更多网络的接入有很大的需求。

谢谢您抽时间阅读我的邮件。

您真诚的,

李明
