我谨代表学生会,利用此次机会,对于所有来我校学习的外国学生致以衷心的欢迎。
很高兴为大家做出一些实际的建议。首先,在我们大学的生活并不轻松。你应该每天上课并且按照要求完成课后任务。每个人还需要帮助一名中国学生进行英文学习。尽管有这些挑战,你仍能享受这里的生活。各种各样的活动,比如社交聚会和舞会,能提供足够的机会去交朋友。
我真心希望你能享受这里的工作和生活。如果你有后续问题,请联系我。

亲爱的先生/女士,
我是贵在线商店的一位客户。很抱歉打扰您,但是我恐怕要抱怨一下两天前购入的电子词典。
我不满意的原因是电子辞典质量太差。首先,电池只能续航3个小时。其次,字典里有一些拼写错误。如果您能给我换一个,我将会非常感谢,我希望这件事情在本周末得以解决。
非常感谢您的考虑,期待你的回复。
你诚挚的,张伟
