Dear James，
I’m delighted to tell you that I’ll take part in a summer camp.However，there will be an
interview next week，which makes me worried.I am wondering if you could tell me some
interview skills.
As you know ，my spoken English is not good ，which makes it difficult for me to
communicate with native speakers.I think this is because I am always flooded with a sense of
nervousness when talking.So I’m extremely afraid to fail now.I hope to pass the interview
successfully and get this opportunity to make more friends and know about the local culture.
I’m looking forward to your early reply!
Yours，
Li Hua
Ⅱ.读后续写(乐于助人)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was standing in the checkout line behind a woman who seemed to be in her 60s.When it was
her turn to pay，the cashier greeted her by name and asked her how she was doing.
The woman looked down，shook her head and said，“Not so good.My husband just lost his
job and my son is up to his old tricks again.The truth is，I don’t know how I’m going to get
through the holidays.” Then she gave the cashier food stamps(食品券)．
Neither did I know how I could get through the days a year ago during my fresh year in the
company.I didn’t know the rules，I was not familiar with the work，and I couldn’t feel the
value of myself.I was even wondering whether I could get along，as my father was gone，my
mother had no work and my brother was only 7.That feeling was exactly what the woman had
said.Fortunately，things changed when I received my colleague’s card，from which I felt the
encouragement，and sensed happiness falling upon me again.So I really wanted to help but didn’t know how.Should I offer to pay for her groceries，or
ask for her husband’s rsum(简历)? As I walked into the parking lot，I spotted the woman
returning her shopping cart.Suddenly I remembered something in my purse that I thought could
help her.It wasn’t a handful of cash or an offer of a job for her husband，but maybe it would
make her life better.
Then I approached the woman.My heart pounded as this was the first time that I had come
with the idea to help a stranger.
“Excuse me，” I said，my voice trembling a bit.“I couldn’t help accidentally hearing
what you said to the cashier.It sounds like you’re going through a really hard time right now.I’m
so sorry.I’d like to give you something.”
I handed her the small card from my purse.
注意：续写词数应为150个左右。
When the woman read the card，she began to cry.
After we embraced，I walked back to my car and the words on the card crowded into my
mind again.

When the woman read the card，she began to cry.While wiping her eyes with a tissue，she
said in a shaky tone，“You have no idea how much this means to me.” I was a little startled by
her reaction.Having never done anything like this before，I really didn’t know what might
happen after I gave her the card.All I could think of to say was，“Oh！Would it be OK to give
you a hug？”
After we embraced，I walked back to my car and the words on the card crowded into my
mind again.“You Matter！” A few weeks earlier，a colleague gave me a similar card as
encouragement for a project I was working on.It was a hard time back then because the project tired
me out almost every day.But when I got the card and read the words on it，I felt a warm glow
spread inside of me.Deeply touched，I returned home and ordered my own box of “You
Matter” cards and started sharing the cards with everyone I knew.
