Ⅳ. 1. In this narration, the mysterious white gardenia symbolizes the love of the author's father for her. Also, the author hopes to be in memory of her father by the mysterious gardenia, in which she lays her love for her father as well her sentiment and gratitude to him. The love from a father is pure, profound, constant, and unconditional. It always stays with us whatever it happens.
2. Any answer is possible as long as it makes sense. But one recommended answer is to stand in our father's shoes to better relate to him. Whatever gift he sends to us, it stands for his love for us. So never complain about the gifts before we truly understand them. Also, we should give our innermost thanks for his gifts as well as what he has been doing for us.
Dear Dad,
It has been ten years since you passed away.
Despite the fact that daily I think of you but don't see you, strongly, I hold the belief that both of us can still smell the fragrance of some white gardenias, which forever lingers deep in our hearts.
As your daughter, I often think of those sweat days we went through together. Sometimes, I will think of the first white gardenia you sent to me when I was twelve; sometimes, I will get the illusion that there still remains a line of words on my mirror in red lipstick when I awake in the early lonely morning; sometimes I will imagine myself to be an angel, dressed in the prom dress you selected for me; but all the time the fragrance as well as the image of some white gardenias takes over my hearts. Thank you Dad, for all you've done for me.
As your daughter, also, I will thank you for shaping what I am today. It is on your fond knees and broad shoulders that as a person, I have learnt to stay positive and strong, cherishing each moment in my life. Above all, I should be responsible for myself and be grateful to whoever helps me. I am so lucky to be blessed with a great dad like you.Thank you, Dad, for all you've taught me.
As your daughter, I will never stop thinking of you, sometimes to mourn, sometimes to comfort,but always to move on. No matter what happens in the days yet to come, I will stay considerate, optimistic, and helpful like you to be a better myself.Thank you, Dad, for all I've inherited from you.
Your daughter, Helen

Dear Smith,
Yesterday an English speech contest whose theme was “Save the environment” was held in our school. After a fierce competition, 10 students from different classes entered the final. Eventually, my classmate Xiao Ming won first place. All the contestants impressed me deeply with their wonderful performances.
The competition made us realize that we can make a contribution to saving the environment by starting out small although we are students. For example, we can read more e-textbooks instead of traditional paper books. We can also turn off the lights when we leave our classrooms. We believe that even the simplest activities can make a real difference to the environment.
Yours,
Li Hua

A true hermit in modern society
Compared to some so-called hermits currently,Jonna Jinton, who has completely freed herself from the vicious trap of money, fame and social media and followed her heart, is a true hermit in my eyes.
Jonna Jinton is a unique person. As an online Swedish celebrity as well as a writer and photographer, she was born on 29 June, 1989 and married Johan on 13 July, 2019. Tired of the rush and noise of cities, in 2010, she was bold enough to move from Gothenburg to Grundtjarn, a small and remote village where she found the true meaning of life. There she shared her astounding journey and life on her blog which made her well known and also served as a matchmaker for her and her husband Johan. Peaceful, transcendent, and optimistic,Jonna Jinton has set a good example to us and inspired us to seek after the life we desire whatever difficulty we might be faced with. Had I been given the chance to selected the hermit of our times, I would undoubtedly vote for her.

Paragraph 1:
Leib went to the house and knocked on the door. The old man answered the door. “The owner of the hotel told me you are the wisest man in the town. Will you help me?” said Leib. “Tell me what I can do to help you,” replied the old man.“Fearing robbers, I buried my money, six hundred zlotys, in a secret place last night,” Leib said.“Now I've received one thousand zlotys. Should I bury it in the same secret place or in another for greater safety?”Paragraph 2:
“It would be best to put your newly received money in the same place,” the old man said. Leib thanked him for his advice and said, “I will do as you suggest.” To get more zlotys, the old man needed to make Leib believe it was safe to bury the one thousand zlotys in the same place. So when Leib left, he hurried to rebury the money where he'd dug it up. When darkness fell, Leib went to the hiding place. He got back all his stolen money and was happy to go home and reunite with his family.

Dear Sir or Madam,
As a middle school student from China,I'm writing to apply to be a volunteer.
I will be qualified for the position. Firstly, I once studied English in Britain as an exchange student for two years, so I can speak fluent English. Secondly, I have learned some basic knowledge about garbage sorting in daily life. I've been taking an active part in garbage sorting in my community. So it would be easy for me to pass on relevant information to foreign students.
I am looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
Paragraph 1:
My boat was gradually pulled towards the deeper part. So dangerous was the situation that it was impossible for me to get rid of the dilemma without others' help. Hence I shouted loudly to attract my siblings' attention. Nevertheless, it was extremely evident that they didn't hear me. To my horror, a big wave came and threw me from the boat. I was seized by a strong sense of hopelessness, struggling in the water, waving my hands with all my strength. After a while, I began to sink and lost my thought.
Paragraph 2:
When I came to life, I was lying in a bed. I was accompanied by my parents and siblings in the hospital. As a matter of fact, it was my brother that saw and saved me from the sea. I was unconscious when I was rescued. They immediately sent me to the hospital. Feeling fortunate, I made up my mind to cherish life and not to try such adventure again.Mother said we would have a celebration for another life given to me. I told them the celebration would never be held on the beach.
