Dear Sam,
You told me you had bought Jiang Hwei’s latest album the other day. You said that each song in the album was wonderful. You know that I’m really interested in Taiwanese songs and that I’m going to enter a singing competition in December. Would you please lend me the album? I’d like to listen to it and see if there is a song that I can perform in the competition. I promise to return it in one or two days. If it’s OK, call me and I’ll go over to your house to pick it up. Thanks a lot.


Your friend,
David

3. Write a Paragraph
        A white shirt and black skirt or pants are the clothes that students at our school are required to wear. Except for PE class, this uniform must be worn during morning assemblies and break time, as well as all of the classes. Worn by students on a daily basis, the uniform consists of a cotton dress shirt (short-sleeved for the summer and long-sleeved for the winter) and a pleated skirt or loose-fitting pants. Some students who don’t consider it fashionable enough wear more stylish tailor-made skirts or pants. In the winter, students have to wear a navy blue wool coat. To me, these uniforms create a sense of school unity and spirit. In the white shirts and black shirts and pants, everyone looks the same, thus bringing the school together. Whether the uniform looks plain or fashionable, it gives me a sense of belongingness and makes me proud of being a part of my school.
