Writing a letter to a friend
【情景呈现】
假定你们学校有中外交流生项目，如何找到共同语言继而融入当地生活圈是这些交流生们共同面对的问题。你作为校英语报的编辑Jack，拟在“校园园地”栏目以书信的形式为这一群体在跨文化交际方面提出一些建议。
注意：词数150左右；可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。
【写作指导】
一、文体分析
1. 本文需按照书信格式进行书写；
2. 正文由三部分组成：问题、原因和建议；
3. 行文时要找准问题所在，客观分析原因，提出中肯建议；同时，语气切忌强势。
二、思路演进
三、语言风暴
请同学们根据所给句子和策略尝试填空（每空一词）。
1. Many Chinese students abroad say it’s difficult to talk with the natives. Many foreign students in China also have difficulty in that. (转换表达以增加连贯性)
Many Chinese students abroad have _____ in talking / find it difficult to talk with the natives. The same is _____ of foreign students in China.
2. They are unable to share a topic with the natives. They don’t know how to fit in. Let’s find the possible reason first. (转换表达以便语言更地道、词义更丰富、承接更顺畅)
They don’t have much in _____ with the natives. So they _____ how to fit in. Let’s find the possible reason first.
3. They don’t know about foreign cultures. (添加结果以增加逻辑性和说服力)

4. It will destroy the relationships. (使用否定词以加强语气)

5. You had better learn more about foreign cultures.
(转换表达使语言更生动；添加结果以增加说服力)

7. You should listen to others. (转换表达使语言多样化)
Practice _____ listening. / Be a good _____. / Listen _____ than you talk. / Talk _____ and listen more.
【参考范文】
Dear friends,
As exchange students, some of you find you don’t have much in common with the natives. So, many students wonder how to fit in. Let’s find the possible reason first.
Obviously, lack of knowledge about foreign cultures may cost you the chance to communicate with the natives. Sometimes, we tend to judge others based on our own experiences and cultural standards, causing misunderstanding. It’s of no benefit to friendly relationships. So the following tips may help.
First, you can expose yourselves to that foreign culture. It will deepen your understanding of how differently people live. Second, respect each other, for that’s the best policy for good communication. Then, start with small talk and it will allow you to get close to local people easily. Last but not least, listen more than you talk.
I hope the advice can help you a lot and wish you a better life abroad.
Yours faithfully,
Jack

Dear Lily,
Since you talked about the difficulty in making real friends, I hope the following tips may help.
Admittedly, virtual friends can satisfy your need to some degree. You can open your heart to them without feeling embarrassed as the Internet serves as the invisible wall in between. Also, online friends can provide you with comfort whenever difficulty comes your way. However, heavy reliance on virtual friends may cost you true friendship and even bring about emotional isolation. Furthermore, many criminals use virtual friendship as a tool.
So, it is highly necessary to adjust yourself to the real world. First, take the initiative to communicate with your classmates face to face. The more you do, the more willing they will be to contact you and help you. Also, join in group activities. You can impress others by your intelligence and warmth and improve your confidence meanwhile.
Best wishes to you.
Yours,
Jenny
