范文一

假如你叫李华，最近你的美国笔友Tony要来北京体验中国传统文化，请根据他的问题回复邮件，为他设计北京一日游活动，帮助他体验中国传统文化。请描述你们打算去的地方、具体的活动安排、以及这样安排的理由。

Hi, Tony!

I’m glad that you will come to Beijing soon. There are many places of interest w here you can experience the traditional Chinese culture in Beijing.

First, we can take a walk along the lanes in Hutong to feel the architectural styl e of the old buildings like Siheyuan and local people’s way of life. Besides, you can h ave a talk with the residents to know more about the history about Hutong. What’s mo re, we can try all kinds of local foods on the way. And you can buy some paper cutting s as gifts for your friends. When we feel tired, it’s a good choice for us to go to a tea h ouse. There, we can taste all kinds of Chinese tea and get a lot of knowledge about tea . Most importantly, we can watch Peking Opera while drinking tea, which is a typical art to reflect Beijing humanities features.

As for the reason why we go there, I think it can make you better experience tra ditional Chinese tea culture, the food culture and the characteristics of the old residenc e in Beijing. I’m looking forward to your coming. Yours, Li Hua

范文二：有关保护传统文化

Dear editor，

I'm writing to you to talk about my opinions about traditional Chinese culture. I think it's necessary for us to protect and inherit it. Here are some reasons.

Firstly, as one of the ancient civilizations in the world, the traditional Chinese culture is the foundation of the development of our country, and it can provide spiritual motivation for Chinese economy. Secondly, it includes many inspiring and shocking events, through which we can learn some useful things to make our country develop more quickly. Last but not least, it is an important part of Chinese history, and inheriting it may make us stronger and benefit our growth.

I hope Chinese government and citizens join in the campaign of protecting and inheriting traditional Chinese culture. We should make contributions and efforts to carry it forward.

Yours

Li Hua
