在BEC考试前，为了巩固词汇和句型而进行的BEC写作练习中，很多同学将写作和造句简单地等同起来，觉得BEC写作只是把记忆过的生词和句子用造句的形式套用一下而已，和抄写的效果区别不大，无法令人提起兴趣。其实这是对写作被动接受的态度，没有充分让大脑活动起来就没有办法加强对语言的掌握。因此现在就让你的脑子和下面的文章一起活动吧!

(Letters of Regards)

Directions:You are going to send a letter to your friend for the new year. Please write it in about 100 words and do not need to write the address.
Dear Mr. Carter,
As a new year comes across the corner, it gives us great pleasure to say how much we have appreciated working with you over the past twelve months. It was a good memory for me which I always kept in my mind. Would you be the same with me? Last year was a wonderful year and we both got many benefits and progress from each other. I sincerely hope that our pleasant business relationship will continue for years to come.
Our staff here join me in wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year.
Yours sincerely,
