书面表达

One possible version：

Dear Wang Xia,

I am very pleased to know that you plan to go on short-term overseas study tours during the summer holiday. I think it wise to for you to do that. By doing so, you can get closer to some famous schools and have a better knowledge of them.

Meanwhile, you can also experience life and study abroad ahead of schedule and learn about some foreign culture.

Last, this kind of study tour can help you build a fairly good visa record, which may do good when you are applying for student visa in the future. But there is something for you to consider, the fees are too high for most parents to afford.

Personally, short-term overseas study tours may make you study harder. It can also serve as a test showing if you are able to live an independent life abroad or not.

Yours，

Li Ming

Text 10

What’s happening? Lots of gorillas are running down the streets of London! Don’t be surprised. This is the Great Gorilla Run. It is one of the most popular activities in London. It is supported by the Gorilla Organization to raise money to help protect gorillas.

More than 600 runners in gorilla costumes took part in the run. The run raised more than 130,000 pounds in September. The Gorilla Organization used this money to protect the habitats of mountain gorillas.

The run was started by children’s television host Helen Skelton. She said, “I’d encourage people to support a charity like this. This is a fun race that is interesting to watch and to take part in. If we don’t do more for gorillas now, we will regret it in the future.” Today, gorillas are threatened and there are now only around 720 mountain gorillas left in the wild.

The quickest gorilla-runner finished the 7km race in just 34 minutes. The slowest one walked for most of the race and finished in just under two hours.
