Earlier on during my stay in China，I nOted a significant 1ack Of Western hOlidays．Halloween came and went Halloticed．Thanksgiving passed right on by without mach more than a celebratory trip to KFC．I thOUght I made it mrough，free and clear．Being in China enabled my avoidante of overspellding on gifts．During Halloween I did not buy big bags of candy alld later eat all of it myself aRer teaIizing that chiIdrell dO not trick-or-treat on my street．Life gOt to feeling pretty good when I tealized I coilld skip an the holiday pomp(盛况)and cireamstailee by 1iVing in Yongzhou，a city in Huglan Province．But it all came erashing down upon me with arriVal of Christmas and New Year．

show up on the windows Of nower shOps．Wealthierchildrell are seen wearing someming similar to a little elf(小精灵) costume：striped stockings，red shirts，green skiers，and elf．1ike shoes with hells on them
In terms of Christmas and New Years，am．ong many other holidays，the entire country Of America goes crazy with holiday spirit．There are decorations on store windows and inside large supermarkets．The biggest ellltural feature，I think，is the fat Santa in large stores and shopping malls．“Santa”sits in the middle of big malls while children line up to sit on his 1ap．“I want a bicvcle fo r Christmas!”the children will say,or something else equally appropriate． In the middle of absorbing new holiday traditioIlS in China and missing 01d ones back home，I foand little impressed upon my memory．The parties I attended had only a few memorable momems：1ittle girls dancing the cha cha，company leaders badly singing songs KTV style，a guy performing Kung Fu for a sizable crowd．Adrnittedly,despite not seeing any parties in people's houses，I enjoyed what holiday entertainment existed in YongzhOil．I think what 1 will remember the most，however，is walking intO a fancy hOtel and seeing women dressed in elf clOthing and skinny Chinese men dressed in Santa costumes．

Dear Sir or Madame．
I’m glad tO have been surveved on the snJdv in Britain．
Actually，I wish to study in England in a year's time because I can try，to get a scholarship from a university. Besides，I think British universities will provide me with excellent education．And after I finish my study in Britain，I will come back to work for my own country．Now I would like to know how I can get a scholarship and how I can successfully get my visa．What’s more，can you tell me whether it's cheaper to liVe in the university dormitories than in a rented house?
Any of vour help will be appreciated．And I'm looking forward to heating from you．
Yours sincerely, 读写任务：
Possible version 1
Enjoy staying with friends
The author enjoys being accompanied by firends more than being alone because friends comfort him and usually offer him excitemems and fresh ideas．
Similarly，I would 1ike to stay witll my friends rather than stay alone．As the old saying goes，you may rely on your friends when you're out．Friends sometimes are just 1ike the hand of god that win drag you out of trouble．
In my case，math was once my nightmare in my study．However，it was my friend，Wang，who gave me a hand as well as a chance to break this curse．Although I was rather slow,he guided me through tremendous math problems with great patience．And finally，I step by step learned to work them out myself and I think this attributed to me endless efrort made together by him and me．And no words can express my gratitude towards him．
In a word，a friend in need is a friend indeed．May all of us treasure our friends．Possible version 2
Enjoy Being Alolie
The allthor prefers to spend his／her spale time with friends because he／she thinks friends
can offer excitement and fresh ideas to a situation and they can comfort him／her if something bad happens．
Persolially，I prefer to spend most of my time alone．Friends are important in our growth，but we should not forget the shortcomings of spending too much time with friends．
First，peer pressure may direct us into some wrong doings．In order to please their so-called“friend”，teenagers may let their friends talk them into doing bad things．Moreover，even real friends may have different prefeFences．For example，I like classical music，but most of my friends love the noisy roek and roll If we insist on spending our time together，both my friends and I would become unhappy．For this reason，I often feel like staying alone，especiaUy when I want to do some reading．
To sum up，it’s good to have real frielids，but we also have something that is for us to do alone．。
