編者按：三個詞搞掂一篇作文?其實，很多時候不需要多用所謂的高大上的詞就可以寫出一篇像樣的作文。尤其在考試中，沒有時間掂量斟酌用詞用句，只需把少數常見的詞用好同樣可以受到閱卷老師的青睞。
核心詞：there be; have; take place
假定你是李華,得知美國朋友 Jack打算帶70多歲的父母來中國旅遊觀光，並順便拜訪你家。你主動提出接待。請你給他寫信，內容包括：
1.詢問對方的時間;
2.對方父母的飲食習慣和健康情況;
3.住宿要求。
注意：
1.詞數100左右;
2.可以適當增加細節，以使行文連貫.
Dear Jack,
I’m happy that there is going to be your tour of China parents and a visit to my home. I expect there to be a warm reception for you. Meanwhile, I wonder when your landing willtake place at our city. In addition, I have desire for information about your parents’ health to see whether there should be necessary preparations for them. After all, I hope they will havea healthy and secure visit.
Equally importantly, please tell me what hotel there is in your list of preference, or can I ask you to live in my large flat? My family will be pleased if you have a stay with us. In that case, you will have a good taste of traditional Chinese dishes. If you please, we willhave a party in honor of your visit to our city.
I am looking forward to your visit to China.
Yours,
Li Hua
