By Zhang Ziying from Class 1 Senior 1

Dear Mrs. Smith,

I am glad to hear from you. You said thatyou were addicted to the computer and lost the control of it. I am sorry tohear that! Here I will give you some suggestions. Hope it will help you a lot.

It is common for teenagers to have theInternet addiction now. It is not only harmful for your health, but also makeyou have a low mark. What’s worse, it’ll break your family relationship and soon.

If I were you, I would force myself to stayaway from computer. You can ask your parents, friends or teachers to remind youas well. In addition, I strongly recommend you that you join someextra-curricular activities so that your spare time will be more meaningfulthan before. On the one hand, it can let you make more new friends, on theother hand, you’re able to have plenty of time to do what you like other thanplaying computer.

If you try to follow my suggestions, you’llfind there are many things which are more interesting than computer games.

                                   Yours, sincerely

                                      Li Hua

Teacher’s evaluation:

As asenior high fresh girl, Zhang Ziying wrote this short letter of advice in thefirst monthly examination, using some high-level words and phrases. Moresurprisingly, she can use attributive clause and subjunctive mood, which wewill learn later this semester. Also she used a lot of advanced structures suchas “I strongly recommend that...”, “on the one hand,....on the other hand....”,”otherthan...”. Obviously, it is a good beginning for a senior high fresh. Inaddition, her suggestions that students keep away from computers (especiallyfrom the computer games) are reasonable.By Zhang Ziying from Class 1 Senior I
