　　Directions： You want to study further for a Master's degree and you are preparing for the entrance exam. Since you have difficulty in English， you should write a letter around 100 words to ask for help from your good friend Fang.You do not need to write the address.

　　Dear Fang，

　　I am sorry that I have to ask a favour of you， with the hope that you will be kind to help me.

　　I have been longing to apply for the entrance examination for MA candidates for a long time because I want to pursue advanced studies.Unfortunately I find myself far from the required standard， especially my very poor English. At this moment， the personal friendship leads me to approach you with the request， whether you can manage to give me some constructive guidance. I promise to be a diligent student. If you agree， I will come to your house once a week at a time most convenient to you.

　　Thank you very much for your kind help on many occasions in the past.

　　Your friend，& nbsp；

　　Directions： Suppose you are a senior majored in physics and plan to study further abroad. Please write a letter of about 100 words to professor Li and ask him to write a reference for you to a U. S. university.You do not need to write the address.

　　Dear professor Li，

　　I am a undergraduate from the Department of physics and I fortunately took a major course on which you lectured. Your lessons impressed me deeply.

　　As a senior， I face the choice between hunting for a job and continuing to study. I prefer to apply for a chance to pursue a Master's degree abroad.

　　I have taken required English exams and got excellent scores. What's more， I have finished my personal statement， which is attached to this letter. I'm now writing to ask if you can write a reference for me， which will greatly facilitate my admission into a U.S. university.

　　Best wishes for your health.

　　Your Student，
