第二节：书面表达(满分25分)

Dear Jim,

①It’s great to hear from you. It’s really a good idea for us to share our favourite books with each other.

② My favourite book is A Tree Grows in Brooklynwritten by Betty Smith. ③It tells the story of Francie Nolan, an adolescent girl who grows up in a poor immigrant family in Brooklyn. Her mother favors her little brother, while his father is always drunk. Life is hard for her. However, reading brings her great pleasure. Thanks to the books,she finds a way to endurepoverty and loneliness, surviving all the difficulties and challenges.

④What I’ve learned from this book is that though life is tough sometimes, as long as we’re determined to rise above difficult circumstances, life can be hopeful and colorful. This book encourages me to keep optimistic about life and gives me courage to face difficulties. It certainly deserves to read.

⑤Looking forward to learning about your favourite book.

Yours,

Li Hua
