读写任务：阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。 Dear Wei Hua,
     I"d like to tell you that I managed to achieve a full score of 120 points in Canada, where the IBT TOEFL
was launched earlier this year. I decided to take the test only one month before the due date in June.
     You may wonder how I did it. Now let me tell you. I went over several TOEFL vocabulary books and
practiced a lot of model tests on the computer. Apart from my preparations for the test, my solid language
skills also led to my new TOEFL success. In 2004, I participated in the third "21st Century Cup" National
High School English Speaking Competition held by China Daily as a Junior 3 student and won the top prize.
     Testing speaking skills is an added part of the new TOEFL test. My good performance in this test mostly
resulted from my speech practice before I moved to live and study in Canada last year. To prepare for the
speaking competition, my teacher asked me to make speeches in the canteen at lunch breaks. Surrounded
by many students, I heard them saying, "What"s wrong with that girl? Is she crazy?" I had to be brave and
confident enough to stand on the stage when the day came.
     I also believe that Rome wasn"t built in one day. To learn English well, we have to keep practicing: listening,
speaking, reading and writing.
Yours,
Chang Mengsu

答案

Dear Mengsu,
     Congratulations on your success in getting such a high mark in TOEFL. Your efforts have paid off.
From your e-mail I know your success resulted from full preparations and your solid language but the
most important factor is that you keep practicing.
     A famous saying goes that "Practice Makes Perfect". It means it is practice that enables us to do
something efficiently, esp. learning a foreign language. Any perfect accomplishment of task is the result
of longtime practice. If we understand this saying and apply it to our English study, we"ll benefit a lot
from it.
     (With the coming of the 2012 College Entrance Examination, we are busy preparing for it). In order
to improve my listening, I"ll keep on listening to some programs on VOA and BBC and also the tapes that
go with the listening materials. I"ll seize every opportunity to speak English so that I can develop an in
stinctive feel for the English language. I"ll read all available English newspapers and magazines to enlarge
my vocabulary. Keeping a diary is a good way of improving my written English. When in trouble, I"ll turn
to my teachers or my classmates for help.
     I hope you will give me more advice on how to learn English well and wish you a good journey to
Canada.
Yours,
Wei Hua
