　　Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a letter to a friend who will come to your city to see you. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese:

　　假設(shè)你是李明, 你的一個朋友張偉準備到你所在的城市來旅游，但你有事不能接待。寫封信給他，解釋你不能接待的原因，并說明你所做的安排。

　　A Letter to a Friend

　　Dear Zhang Wei,

　　I’m glad to know that you are coming to my city during the summer vacation.

　　However, I’m afraid there’s some bad news. I’m planning to take part in an international conference to be held in another city during the time of your visit. All the top scientists in my field will show up at the conference. More importantly, I’m lucky enough to have been selected to give a speech on behalf of my research team at the Conference. I really can’t miss it.

　　I understand that it’ll be your first time to this city and I’m your only friend here. I’ve asked my roommate to meet you at the airport, and you can stay in my room. He is a very nice person and he will show you around the city. Hope you two will get on well and have a nice holiday!

　　Yours,

　　Li Ming

　　點評：本預(yù)測題與2001年6月考查的A Letter to a Schoolmate 類似，所不同是寫作提示有所不同，2001年6月作文題是寫信對校友來度假表示歡迎并在信中提出建議和注意事項，而本預(yù)測題是對朋友來訪不能接待，同時在信中說明原因及具體安排，內(nèi)容不一，但話題相仿，寫作思路相似，值得關(guān)注。
