一 感谢信

Directions: Write to one of your friends, Wang Lei, to express your thanks to his warm reception.

（一）预测范文

Dear Wang Lei,

Thank you very much for those five wonderful days in your house! Every moment was a delight. I can’t remember ever having enjoyed myself so thoroughly elsewhere.

This is to tell you again how much I enjoyed the weekend in Hangzhou. Everything was just perfect: the weather, your company, the beautiful surroundings—no wonder I’m finding it difficult to get down to reading this morning! The classroom life seems so dull and prosaic compared to days in Hangzhou.

I hope you know how much I appreciate your hospi-tality, and your thoughtful kindness to me. I count myself fortunate indeed to have such a generous and charming friend like you. I hope something will bring you to Beijing soon so that I can reciprocate your great kindness.

Yours,

Li Ming

亲爱的王磊：

在你家度过如此美好的五天，我对此表示非常感谢！在那里的每一刻都惬意无比，我记不起在什么地方比在那里过得更愉快了。

我想再次告诉你，在杭州度过的周末非常令人愉快。那里的一切都是尽善尽美的：天气、你的陪伴、优美的环境——难怪今天上午我发现自己很难专心读书！与在杭州的日子相比，课堂生活则显得那么枯燥乏味。

我想让你知道，我非常感激你的盛情招待和对我无微不至的关怀。能有你这么慷慨、可爱的朋友，我的确很幸运。希望不久的将来你能有机会来到北京，让我能答谢你的盛情。

李明
