　　A Letter Asking for Help

　　Oct. 14, 2009

　　Dear Jones,

　　I.am.writing to ask oryouLhel2jinleGding^eaJbfiQk.

　　Recently I’ve been busy preparing my graduate thesis, and therefore have been reading and researching numerous books and other references. One of the books that my advisor believes to be particularly relevant to my thesis is called The Legal System in Society. Unfortunately I have been unable to find it at the library or in any bookstores. I heard you have a large collection of books about Law. Do you happen to have this book? If so, may I borrow it? I promise to take good care of it and will return it to you within three days.

　　Thank you very much. Ihopejtojhearfrom_youjsoon.

　　Yours sincerely,

　　Li Ming

　　My Views on Examination

　　Nowadays the examination is used as a chief means of deciding whether a student succeeds or fails in mastering a particular subject in most colleges and universities. Although it is efficient, its side effects are also enormous.

　　On the one hand, examinations lower the standards of teaching. Since teachers are often judged by examination results, they are reduced to training their students in exam techniques.

A　the　examinations corejis the only criterion for his academic performance students driven to memorize mechanically rather than to think creatively.

　　In fact, few of us admit that examinations can contribute anything really important to the students’ academic development. If that is the case, why cannot we make a change and devise something more efficient and reliable than examinations?
