有关“志愿者”话题

例1：

假设你是健康俱乐部的一位志愿者，根据以下要点，写一篇短文，帮助广大市民更好地了解和预防H1N1流感：

(1)该流感已在许多国家爆发，病例每天持续增多；

(2)该流感与其他季节性流感传播方式一样，通过咳嗽、喷嚏等在人群中传播；

(3)建议：不随便当众咳嗽、打喷嚏，经常洗手，生病时在家休息……

As we know, a growing outbreak of H1N1 flu has been sparked in many countries. An increasing number of cases are being reported every day。

It’s thought that H1N1 flu spreads in the same way that regular seasonal influenza viruses do, that is, spreading from person-to-person, mainly through the coughs and sneezes of people who are sick with the virus。

Faced with this severe disease, here are some everyday measures we should take to stay healthy. First, cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way. If you get sick, stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them。

Finally, H1N1 flu is not a terribly deadly disease, which is curable. So, don’t be nervous and just keep calm as usual。

例2：

(1)具有为国际友人服务的热情；

(2)掌握丰富的文化知识，既是服务人员，也是文化的使者；

(3)具有流利的英语表达能力，能做好沟通工作。

假如你叫李华，请根据以上要求，写一封想作博览会志愿者的申请信。

要求：字迹工整，100词左右。开头已写好，不计入总词数。

生词：国际贸易博览会 the International Trade Exposition

Dear Sir or Madam：

Thank you for taking your time to read my letter. As the coming of the International Trade Exposition, I’d like very much to be a volunteer。

All our citizens are hosts for this special event. Above all, I promise I should endeavor to serve with enthusiasm our distinguished guests from all over the world. Besides, I have a rich knowledge about Chinese history, so I will be not only a servant but also a carrier for our splendid culture. What’s more, as we all know, English as an international language, will play an important role in communication during the Exposition, and I am good at it. I can express myself fluently and clearly in English。

To sum up, I believe I can be a qualified volunteer. I will value it and do all I can if I could be accepted to be one。

Yours,

Li Hua

参考词汇：对联couplet 爆竹firecracker

Dear John,

How time flies! Four moths have passed since we saw each other last time. I cannot help but miss you. You asked me about Chinese Spring Festival. Now I would like to tell you something about it。

The Spring Festival is a Chinese traditional festival. It is the most important and enjoyable one. A few days before the festival, houses are cleaned and red couplets are put up on the doors of every household. They are said to frighten away the ghosts. On that day, people are dressed up. Firecrackers ring out in the air, which adds to the atmosphere of the festival. People after a year’s hard work begin to relax and visit one another. Presents and dinners are given to celebrate the happy reunion of friends and relatives. Families get together. They have jiaozi and enjoy the New Year TV show. Customs may vary from place to place, but the same happy atmosphere is to be found everywhere in the country。

Now, I hope you have some idea of Chinese Spring Festival。

Best wishes,

Yours,

Li Hua
