书面表达
假如Mary。从她发来的电子邮件中你了解到她十分喜欢吃零食、喝汽水现在非常胖。为此她很苦恼请你给她提些建议。请用英语给她写一封电子邮件内容包括:用水果代替零食。用水代替汽水。多运动。注意:1.词数120左右。可以适当增加细节以使行文连贯。【参考范文】 Firstly, you'd better quit snacks. It's because they are high in fat, salt or sugar. Please try turning to fruit, which is delicious and protective. Secondly, you should drink water rather than soda when you feel thirsty. As is known, soda contains some chemicals harmful to your body. Thirdly, it's necessary to do exercise regularly. By doing so, you will surely consume extra calories. Then you will become strong and fit.
If you take my advice, a great difference will be made to your image. Best wishes.
Yours lovely,
Li Hua
