Subject: English Lessons
Dear Mrs. Daniels,
I recently saw your advertisement on the university website offering private English lessons. I’m very interested in your private lessons and would like some more information.
I am a student at Aston College here in Hong Kong studying English, so my language level is already quite good.
However, I feel that I need to improve my listening and speaking skills. This is because I’m planning to study at London University in England next year and I think your lessons will help me to live and study abroad.
Could you send me some more information about the lessons offered, such as where and when they will be held and how much they cost? Also, I would like to know whether you teach students in groups or one-on-one.
I would be glad to supply any further information you might need.

Mary didn’t understand such sentences as “You are yellow.” “She has a green thumb( 拇指 ).” “ He has told me a white lie.” And so on. So she went to her English teacher for help.
Mary : Mrs. Smith, there is a color in each of these sentences. Could you tell me what they mean?
Mrs. Smith: In English, yellow sometimes means afraid. Blue means sad. A person with a green thumb grows plants well. And a white lie is not a bad one.
Mary: Would you give me an example for a white lie?
Mrs. Smith: Certainly. Now I give you some cakes. In fact you don’t like them, but you won’t say so. Instead you say, “No, I’m not hungry.” That is a white lie.
Mary : Oh, I see. Thank you very much.Mary did not understand the sentences and asked Mrs. Smith for ______________.
You are blue today means you feel _____________.
I don’t have a _______________, so all my plants are dead.
My friend didn’t want me to know the fact of the accident. He told me_____________.
