A Letter Asking for Help
Oct. 14, 2009
Dear Jones,
I.am.writing to ask oryouLhel2jinleGding^eaJbfiQk.
Recently I’ve been busy preparing my graduate thesis, and therefore have been reading and researching numerous books and other references. One of the books that my advisor believes to be particularly relevant to my thesis is called The Legal System in Society. Unfortunately I have been unable to find it at the library or in any bookstores. I heard you have a large collection of books about Law. Do you happen to have this book? If so, may I borrow it? I promise to take good care of it and will return it to you within three days.
Thank you very much. Ihopejtojhearfrom_youjsoon.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming

In fact, few of us admit that examinations can contribute anything really important to the students’ academic development. If that is the case, why cannot we make a change and devise something more efficient and reliable than examinations?
