参考答案：

Dear Jim,

Knowing that you are interested in Chinese literature, I am more than excited because I am fairly a literature lover myself.

I recommend a well-known Chinese book titled The Ordinary World to you. The book was written by a famous Chinese writer, Lu Yao. It centers on the life and destinies of three families of Sun, Tian and Jin in a village. It pictures the tough process of building up a better and wealthier life during the very beginning of reform and openness in China. Reading the book, you will be greatly affected by the courage and spirit of the main characters. That’s why I make this recommendation.

I am looking forward to your view of this book.

Yours,

Li Hua

1: A Dream of Red Mansions （关于《红楼梦》）

 

Dear Peter,

I’m very glad to know that you have interest in Chinese novels. There are so many famous novels written in Chinese, including classical novels and modern novels, among which I like A Dream of Red Mansions most. It is an interesting novel and is excellent beyond comparison. Based on Jia and Lin’s love story, it describes a tragedy about love and the decline about a big family, which exposes the social crisis.

The book is written in old Chinese, which is difficult to understand. So when you read it, you’d better get a Chinese dictionary ready for reference. In addition, I suggest that you should know some background knowledge about Qing Dynasty.

I wish you would have fun and learn something through reading it.

Yours,

Li Hua

Journey to the West is a mythological (神话的) novel based on many centuries of popular tradition. This novel is about the man-like Monkey King together with other two disciples (徒弟), Greedy Pig, and Friar Sand, protects and attends their master, the priest(牧师) San-zang, to the west to seek Buddhist sutras (佛经). It is really a tough trip, in which they face various troubles. It is believed that people who eat the priest’s meat can live forever; as a consequence,many monsters are eager to catch him. Faced with so many problems, they never give up and in the end, they succeed.

While you are reading it, you could make a list of all the tough difficulties they meet so as to have a better understading. You could also take some notes when there are something you are confused about.

 

I just can’t wait to talk about the details of the novel with you. An early reply is appreciated.

 3: The Water Margin （关于《水浒传》）

Dear Peter,

I’m very gald to know that you have interest in Chinese novels. There is a novel named The Water Margin, which is beneficial for you to learn Chinese culture and history.

The story is based on real facts and has inspired many storytellers. There are many notables, strong muscled heroes and intellectual philosophers overcoming all kinds of difficulties. Not only do they help people to solve problems, but also they often figh against injustice and abuse. When it comes to those great heroes, we Chinese readers all admire them very much. There was a time when I was so crazy for them. So I believe that you will love it.

What is more, I have some advice about reading this novel. You can choose some history books about the North Song Dynasty (XIIIth Century), which helps you have a good command of this novel. Time permitting, you can go to the library to read some book reviews.

Best wishes.

Yours,

Li Hua

2. 途经湖北、湖南和广东；

3. 列车时速高达350公里/小时，目前世界上最快。

主要优点：

1. 武汉至广州仅需3个小时，比先前减少7个多小时；

2. 高铁列车设施齐全，安全舒适。

美中不足：

1. 票价偏高；

2. 车站离市中心较远。

 

First built in 2005, the Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway went into operation on December,26th,2009. Overall length of its main line is 1068 kilometers, and it goes through the following three provinces: Hubei, Hunan and Guangdong.

The speed of the Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway is 350km/h,the fastest speed in the world now, which makes it only three hours needed from Wuhan to Guangzhou, seven hours less than before. Besides, there are all kinds of facilities in the train, which make your trip safe and comfortable, so it is more humanitarian.

However, the only fly in the ointment is that the train fare is too high and the station is quite far away from the downtown area.

随着微信，支付宝、银行APP等的发展想必大家都爱用他们支付购买。那么，通过网络进行的货币支付或资金流转给我们的生活带来了哪些好处呢?请你以移动支付的好处为主题写一篇英语短文。

 

The Advantages of Online Payment

Online payment has been advocated around the world, which is the future way to pay bills. In China, Alipay is popular everywhere, even the small business can be finished by this advanced way. People play the joke that they don’t need to worry about the lack of cash. The advantages of online payment are obvious.

Firstly, it saves people’s time to pay bills. The use of online payment is carried out with a smart phone. Especially when we go to the supermarket, there are always a lot of people waiting in the long line. The process of costing customers’ time is to take out the cash or use the credit card, because both customers and cashiers need to count the money or check the bills. But now the cashier can just scan the phone and the bill will be paid and the customer can check quickly.

Second, people don’t have to worry about getting the fake cash. Many years ago, people were easy to get fake money as they received the change. But now, as the cash have been used less, people won’t receive the fake cash without paper money. With the development of new applications, our life will be much convenient.
