Here are the key points of my presentation．First of all，compared with Westerners，the Chinese people have traditionally paid more attention to the harmonious relationship between human beings and nature．“Nature and Man are one” is a familiar statement in traditional Chinese ideology．In addition，in Chinese thought，much emphasis is laid upon moral cultivation，the refinement of temper，and the spiritual enlightenment on the part of individual rather than upon logical reasoning.
My appreciation to you for your generous help is beyond words．I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely，
Li Ming

尊敬的威廉斯教授：
我非常荣幸地接受您的邀请，为一群留学生做一场关于中国文化的报告。
下面是我的报告的要点。首先，与西方人相比，中国人传统上一直更注重人与自然的和谐关系。在中国传统思想中，“天人合一”是一个为人所熟知的论断。此外，中国传统思想很注重个人修养的提升，关注“修身养性”，相比逻辑推理，更为重视心灵体悟。
我对您慷慨帮助的感谢难以言表。盼即赐复。
您真诚的，
李明

第四节　十大必背范文
一、致编辑信
Directions：Write an email to the editor of your local newspaper，stating your opinion on the issue of thrift.
经典范文022
Dear editors，
Many college students have no concept of thrift in their minds．They take it for granted that they can spend the money provided by their parents before they enter into society.
This extravagant spending is primarily caused by the following factors．First of all，nowadays most students are the only child of their families．They are the apple of their families' eyes and naturally get more care and pocket money than children in larger families．In addition，with the improvement of living standards，parents can afford higher expenditures on their children.
From my point of view，a college student，as a pure consumer，should learn to be thrifty．We should limit our expenditure on daily necessities and not buy whatever we want regardless of price．This habit of thrift can help us form the right values and is favorable to our future development.
Yours truly，
Li Ming

尊敬的编辑：
很多大学生的思想中没有节俭的概念。他们理所当然地认为在进入社会之前可以花费父母提供的钱。
这种奢侈消费主要由下述原因造成。首先，现在大多数学生是家里的独生子女。他们是家人眼里的珍宝，自然比大家庭中的孩子们得到更多的关心和零花钱。其次，随着生活水平的提高，父母们可以为孩子们负担更高的花费。
我认为，大学生作为纯粹的消费者，应该学会节俭。我们应该限制日常必需品的开销，同时不能不考虑价格随意消费。这种节俭的习惯可以帮助我们形成正确的价值观，并且有益于我们未来的发展。
您真诚的，
