賴世雄英語書信通Unit 16：友人回函

　　June 19, 2005

　　Dear Linda,

　　It would be my pleasure to help Shuhui out. She should have no problems here. UCLA is a good school in a pleasant and safe area. Since her room and board are provided, she should be quite all right. Nevertheless we would be happy to have her over for dinner once in a while if she gets tired of eating cafeteria food.

　　If you want, we can pick Shuhui up at the airport and take her to the school. Just let us know when she’ll be arriving.

　　Sincerely yours,

　　Julie Li

　　親愛的琳達(dá)：

　　能幫淑慧的忙是我的榮幸。她在這里應(yīng)該不會有什么問題。加州大學(xué)洛杉磯分校是個好學(xué)校，它位于一個宜人又安全的地區(qū)。既然食宿都在學(xué)校，她將會一切安好。然而要是她學(xué)校的自助餐吃厭時，我們很樂意偶爾邀她到寒舍和我們共進(jìn)晚餐。

　　如果你認(rèn)為需要的話，我們會到機(jī)場去接淑慧，并送她到學(xué)校。只要事先讓我們知道她何時會抵達(dá)就可了。

　　李茱莉　敬上
