My favorite science fiction
My favorite science fiction is A Miracle of Rare Design， which moved me a lot. Chapter by chapter， I sunk into the story of a man who—despite his success as an anthropologist—doesn't feel like he belongs anywhere and who realizes that no matter how in⁃depth his studies of alien cultures can be， he'll never fully grasp their mindset and understanding.
Although I still own the copy I bought back then， recently I also purchased an e⁃book to have a chance of experiencing the book in its original language， English.

Task 1
Dear Peter，
I'm glad to receive your letter asking for my advice on how to learn Chinese well. Here are my suggestions.
First， it is important to take a Chinese course， as you'll be able to learn from the teacher and your fellow students. Then， it also helps to watch TV and read books， newspapers and magazines in Chinese wh⁃enever possible. Besides， it is a good idea to learn and sing Chinese songs， because by doing so you'll learn and remember Chinese words more easily.
I hope you will find these suggestions helpful.
Yours，
Li Hua
Task 2
Dear Mike，
I am sorry to hear that you are suffering from great stress of studying. My suggestions are as follows.
First， you should learn to relax if necessary. When tired， you can go walking or do some sports with your classmates. Secondly， do not give yourself too much stress or you may feel frustrated and tired， which is bad for your health. Thirdly， I think it would be beneficial if you could share some of your inner emotions with your friends， parents or teachers.
I hope you will find these suggestions helpful.
Yours，
Li Hua
