Dear Tom,
I just can’t tell you how sorry I was to learn of your accident. Your family tells me that your are progressing nicely, and that you’ll be out of the hospital in about ten days, I’m certainly relieved to know that!
In the next day or so you’ll receive a little package from Margaret and me. I hope you like it, and that it will help to pass the time more pleasantly.
With every good wish for your swift recovery.
Sincerely,
Bob

亲爱的汤姆：
知道您受到意外伤害时，我简直难以形容我心中是多么难过。您的家人告诉我，您恢复得很好，再有十天左右的时间就可以出院了。听到这一情况后，我心中感到很宽慰。
在一两天内，您会收到玛格丽特和我寄给您的一小包东西，我希望您喜欢它，并希望它能帮助您更愉快地消遣时光。
衷心祝愿您尽快地恢复健康!
您真诚的.
鲍勃

Dear Bill,
What shocking news to me when I was told by Mr. Lewis that you could not pass the entrance examination. This means you have to wait for another year to attend the next entrance examination. I quite understand how you feel now. Still you have many more chances to try. So I hope that you will not take this to heart, and will get ready to try again. I am sure you will easily succeed next time.
Yours,
Elizabeth

亲爱的比尔：
我在刘易斯先生那里获悉你入学考试落榜，深感惋惜。这意味着你要等待明年再考了。我很能理解你目前的心境。但你仍有很多机会，所以希望你别太往心里去，做好下次考试的准备。我深信你明年一定能获得成功。
你的
伊丽莎白
