第六篇：

　　Dear Jenny:

　　Thank you for inviting me to holiday with you, which was what I had been expecting all the time. I would have gladly accepted your invitation, but now I am afraid I can't. Yesterday I received a letter from my parents in which they said they hadn't seen me for long and hoped therefore I could be back at home for a while. They missed me not without a reason because ever since the start of summer vacation I have been working part-time in Taipei as a bookstore clerk and have not had much time I could call my own. Much as I hope to go to Tamsui to have an eyeful of the beautiful sunset with you, chat with you and take a lot of pictures with you, I'm obliged to go home. I hope you can understand this. I have long been absent from home and sometimes I felt lonesome. I believe you have the same experience too. Thank you again and, most important, don't forget to let me know and take me along when in future days you are inclined to see some good movies, attend parties and dances, go picnicking, of whatever. May you have a happy holiday! Sincerely yours, Sarah.

　　Dear Mary:

　　I can still remember the day we parted at your school. I was heartbroken at the thought that thereafter I might not have much of a chance to see you again. On my way home I was aware that your parting words still rang in my ears. I have received the letter you sent me last week and you can imagine how glad I was at the sight of it.
