　　描述“一封信”是口语考试中的核心话题卡之一，近来频繁考到。在取材的时候，考生可以描述电子邮件，也可以描述手写的传统书信，只要能显示它的重要性就可以了。如：商务信函，感谢信，家书，情书，休书 …… 下面是应考生要求给出的这个话题卡的样板答案——封情书。纯属意淫之作，本人从没那么浪漫过，惭愧。

　　①②Many years ago i once wrote a love letter to a girl - a Pisces girl. I remember I sent her favorite orchids with my handwritten love letter attached.
　　③She became my girlfriend not too long after she receivedmy letter. I guess she really liked the way how the letter was written. It was more of poetry than prose. I poured all my love and affection like sweet real orange juice to a shiny glass. She decided to have the love letter read by all her dormmates it was passed from one hand to another and she was so proud of it and she even framed it like it were the picture of a saint. NOS
　　④Why I wrote this letter? It's a love letter, surely because I loved her. I can explain a bit why I handwrote it. Sometimes a thoughtfulhandwritten letter is just what a girl needed, and it is sometimes better then an email. I just think it takes more effort to sit down to write and then send it through regular mail. That makes it more special. For a girl, it's satisfying to hold a letter written by a boy's hand, and it's lovely that the boy took the time and care to do so.
　　Nowadays, people tend to write letter by computers, there was a time, not so long ago, when letter writing was a real craft.

　　简译：
　　很多年以前，我写了一封情书给一个女孩——一个双鱼座女孩。记得我送给了她一束她最喜欢的兰花，附上我手写的情书。
　　她收到情书后没多久就变成了我的女朋友。我猜那时候她一定是喜欢我写那封情书的方式。那更像是诗歌而不像散文。我在信中倾注了我所有的情感，就像在晶莹的玻璃杯中倒入甘甜的橘汁一样。她后来很自豪地把情书传给宿舍里每一个人看，甚至还把它当作神的画像一样装裱了起来。
　　为什么我要写这封信？这是情书，当然是因为我爱她了。不过我倒是可以解释一下为什么我要手写那封情书。有时候一封细心的手写的信恰恰是女孩想要的，比电子邮件要强多了。我觉得坐下来写信，然后再通过常规邮寄方式把它寄出去需要花费更多的功夫。这使这封信变得特别。对于一个女孩来说，拿着一封男孩花费时间和精力亲自手写的信是很愉悦的。
　　现在，人们更愿意用电脑写信了，不久的以前，那时候手写书信也算是一种手艺……
　　Relaxation:
　　Here is a loveletter from a boy to a girl.... However, the girl's father does not like him and wants them to stop their relationship...and so.... the boy wrote this letter to the girl....... He knows that the girl's father will definitely read this letter:
　　下面这封信是一个男孩写给一个女孩的信，由于女孩的父亲不同意两人交往，而且会拆看两人的信件。男孩把信写成这个样子。
　　1 The great love that I have for you
　　2 is gone, and I find my dislikefor you
　　3 grows every day. When I see you,
　　4 I do not even like your face;
　　5 the one thing that I want to do is to
　　6 look at other girls. I never wanted to
　　7 marry you. Our last conversation
　　8 was very boring and has not
　　9 made me look forward to seeing you again.
　　10 You think only of yourself.
　　11 If we were married, I know that I would find
　　12 life very difficult, and I would have no
　　13 pleasure in living with you. I have a heart
　　14 to give, but it is not something that
　　15 I want to give to you. No one is more
　　16 foolish and selfish than you, and you are not
　　17 able to care for me and help me.
　　18 I sincerely want you to understandthat
　　19 I speak the truth. You will do me a favor
　　20 if you think this is the end. Do not try
　　21 to answer this. Your letters are full of
　　22 things that do not interest me. You have no
　　23 true love for me. Good-bye! Believeme,
　　24 I do not care for you. Please do not think that
　　25 I am still your boyfriend.
　　So bad!! However, before handing over the letter to the girl....the boy told the girl to "READ BETWEEN THE LINES", meaning-only to read 1.3.5.7.9.11.13 (Odd Numbers.) So.. please try reading it again! It's so smart & sweet.... It is betterto laugh about your problems than to cry about them.
　　信看起来象是分手信，男孩告诉女孩：只读单数行。再读一遍，发现这原来是一封甜蜜的情书。
