2016高考英语二轮书面表达（四月）训练集（11）及参考范文

　　The reason is that your flight will arrive at 9 o'clock on the morning of May 9, and unluckily our teacher has decided to give us an English test at that time. So the earliest time when I can reach the airport will be about an hour after you land. Will you please wait for me in the arrival lounge? You can have a rest while you wait.

　　By the way, as we have never met before, I must tell you that I will wear a white Tshirt, two red balloons in hand that day so that you can recognize me easily.

　　Hope we can meet soon.

　　Sincerely yours,

　　Zhang Hua

　　Lesson 44 Speed and comfort 又快捷又舒适

　　People, traveling long distances frequently have to decide whether they would prefer to go by land, sea, or air. Hardly anyone can positively enjoy sitting in a train for more than a few hours. Train compartments soon get cramped and stuffy. It is almost impossible to take your mind off the journey. Reading is only a partial solution, for the monotonous rhythm of the wheels clicking on the rails soon lulls you to sleep. During the day, sleep comes in snatches. At night, when you really wish to go to sleep, you rarely manage to do so. If you are lucky enough to get a sleeper, you spend half the night staring at the small blue light in the ceiling, or fumbling to find your ticket for inspection. Inevitably you arrive at your destination almost exhausted. Long car journeys are even less pleasant, for it is quite impossible even to read. On motorways you can, at least, travel fairly safely at high speeds, but more often than not, the greater part of the journey is spent on roads with few service stations and too much traffic. By comparison, ferry trips or cruises offer a great variety of civilized comforts. You can stretch your legs on the spacious decks, play games, meet interesting people and enjoy good food----always assuming, of course, that the sea is calm. If it is not, and you are likely to get sea-sick, no form of transport could be worse. Even if you travel in ideal weather, sea journeys take a long time. Relatively few people are prepared to sacrifice holiday time for the pleasure of travelling by sea.
