You are writing your first letter to a pen pal. Introduce yourself and tell her that you will be visiting her country during the summer vacation and suggest meeting her.(日常信)
親愛的Sue:
你好嗎?我從國際筆友那里獲得的你的姓名和地址。很高興給你寫信并成為成為筆友。
Dear Sue,
How are you? I obtained your name and address from Pen Pal International. I am very glad to write to you and we become pen pals.
讓我先介紹一下我自己:我目前在上海昂立托雅學院做英語(Q吧)教師。我1988年畢業(yè)于上海外國語大學,主修英語文學與語言學,并于1998年獲得了語用學碩士學位。我喜歡拉二胡(一種中國樂器)和聽流行音樂。我還對旅行感興趣。噢,對了,我喜歡泡酒吧。
Let me first introduce myself. I’m currently working as an English teacher at Shanghai Onlytoya College. I graduated from Shanghai Foreign Languages University in 1988, majoring in English literature and linguistics. I got my Master’s degree in pragmatics in 1998. I like playing erhu (a kind of Chinese musical instrument) and listening to pop music. I am also very interested in traveling. Oh, yes, I am a great bar-goer!
這個夏天我將去澳大利亞。我要代表我們學院參加7月10-16日在悉尼的一個會議。會后,我計劃在澳大利亞觀光游覽一番,可能有5天多的時間。如果你有時間,我很想與你本人見一面,或許可以一起吃個午飯。
This summer, I will be traveling to Australia. I will be attending a conference on behalf of my college in Sydney from July 10 to 16. After the conference, I plan to do some sightseeing in Australia, maybe five more days. If you are free, I would be very happy to meet you in person. Perhaps we could have lunch together.
好了,我就寫到這里吧。我已經迫不及待地在等你的第一封信了。請告訴我你的情況以及你有什么興趣。希望我們可以成為好朋友。
你真誠的
Kenny Gao
Well, let me finish here. I am already eagerly awaiting your reply to this first letter. Please tell me all about yourself and your interests. I hope we can become good friends.
Yours truly,
Kenny Gao
