参考答案与范文：
语篇模板
李华上周在英国参加了学校组织的“文化交流周”活动，并住在Kelly家里。因此给Kelly写的一封感谢信。
1.warmly→warm 修饰名词warm，应用形容词。
2.on→in因participate in为固定搭配，意为“参加”。
3.yourself→myself 因主语是I，应该是“我”玩得开心，故用myself。
4.pay→paid 由Last week可知，此处描述的是过去的事情，故用一般过去时。
5.or→and 了解的应是“文化与历史”，而并非“文化或者历史”。
6.friend→friends 根据前面的many可知此处应用名词的复数形式。
7.在stay前加to 因be lucky to do sth.固定搭配。
8.that→which 此处which引导非限制性定语从句，指代先行词the dictionary。
9.把make后的the去掉 应make full use of为固定搭配，意为“充分利用”。
10.convenience→convenient 系动词后接形容词作表语。
课堂练习
Dear Sure,
I’m Li Hua, one of your students in China. It’s almost a month since you left us. We all miss you and are very grateful for what you did for us.
We are busy as usual. We had an English speech contest the other day. I won the first prize! This again reminds me of all your kind help. Do you still remember the trees we planted together on the hill behind the school? Yesterday, we went there and watered them. The tree you planted yourself is growing well, and the whole class decided to name it Sue Wood. Will you come back to see Sue Wood?
How is everything with you lately? We hope to know more about you and your American students. Hope to keep in close touch.
All the best.
Yours,
Li Hua
