　　你是你的学校戏剧社主席。一位著名的剧作家发表演讲关于如何写剧本前，学校放假夏天。讲座很受欢迎，并迅速销售一空。
　　写了一封信，请求她的剧作家持有的讲座，描述如何，这可能有利于学生在学校的戏剧俱乐部和敏锐俱乐部的成员听到她说话。

　　尊敬的女士琼斯

　　索取更多讲座

　　我黄凯芹，香港中学戏剧社的主席。我写这封信给你的演讲，你是给在湾仔文娱中心，题为：“写剧本”的工艺。

　　我们学校的戏剧俱乐部的所有成员，你的工作是伟大的球迷，尤其是你的三幕剧“，一所学校，晚上轩尼诗道8号'。我们这部戏去年举行了多次演出，并获得了很多积极的反馈。全场的观众都清楚地交口称赞的发挥。特别是，在剧中诙谐戏谑收到了大量的笑。我们非常尊重和佩服你的能力，编织成一个热闹的脚本这样一个复杂的故事情节。许多学生自写的询问剧作家和实际会议的可能性。

　　因此，它是巨大的喜悦和期待，我们去注册你的演讲，“工艺，写剧本”。不幸的是，我们发现，所有的门票被抢购一空，即使门票，只出售了三天！ L4其实，在我们学校，我知道很多非俱乐部成员也很失望听到那票是不可用。我们一直在热切地盼望着见到您本人，听您与我们分享第一手L8专业知识的剧本创作。

　　代表的戏剧俱乐部的成员，你的歌迷和崇拜者，我想请求，请您考虑举办更多的讲座“工艺的写作戏剧”。我们俱乐部的成员有兴趣成为剧作家，和您的任何意见将是非常有益的。在未来，我们将继续我们的激情戏剧和戏剧，我们希望在我们自己的剧本写作和表演开始。我们以前的宝宝在剧本创作的步骤尝试从观众的不冷不热的反应，主要是因为我们的脚本缺乏光泽和引诱。我们相信，我们的戏剧以失败告终，是因为我们缺乏基本的技能和知识。作为一个经验丰富的剧作家，您的讲座，将有助于为我们指出了正确的方向，我们就可以写出更好，更吸引人的脚本，打动观众。这就是为什么我们会喜欢听你说话。

　　我们希望您能考虑我们的要求也毫不逊色。谢谢您的关注，我们期待着您的回音。

　　此致

　　3. Learning English through Drama
You are chairperson of your school Drama Club. A famous playwright is giving a lecture on how to write plays before the school breaks for summer. The lecture is very popular and has sold out quickly.
Write a letter to the playwright requesting she holds more lectures, describing how this could benefit the students in the school Drama Club and how keen club members are to hear her speak.
Address your letter to Ms Jones.
16 February 20_ _
Dear Ms Jones
Request for more lectures
I am Chris Wong, the chairperson of Hong Kong Secondary School Drama Club. I am writing to you regarding the lecture you are giving at the Wanchai Civic Centre entitled: ‘The craft of writing plays’.
All members of our school Drama Club are great fans of your work, especially of your three-act play, ‘One school night on 8 Hennessy Road’. We held several performances of this play last year and received a lot of positive feedback. The audience was clearly blown away by the play. In particular, the witty banter in the play received a great many laughs. We highly respect and admire your ability to weave such a complex storyline into a hilarious script. Many students have since written in to ask about the playwright and the possibility of an actual meeting.
Thus, it was with great delight and anticipation that we went to sign up for your lecture, ‘The craft of writing plays’. Unfortunately, we found that all the tickets were sold out, even though the tickets had only been on sale for three days! L4 Actually, I know many non-club members in our school were also very disappointed to hear that tickets were unavailable. We had been eagerly looking forward to meeting you in person and listening to you share with us first-hand L8 expertise on playwriting.
On behalf of the Drama Club members, your fans and admirers, I would like to request that you please consider holding more lectures on ‘The craft of writing plays’. Many of our club members are interested in becoming playwrights, and any advice from you would be extremely beneficial. In the future, as we continue our passion for theatre and drama, we hope to begin writing and acting in our own plays. Our previous baby-step attempts at playwriting have received lukewarm responses from the audience, basically because our scripts lacked lustre and lure. We believe our plays flopped because we lacked basic skills and knowledge. As a veteran playwright, your lecture would help point us to the right direction and enable us to write better, more engaging scripts that move the audience. This is why we would love to hear you speak.
We hope you will consider our request favourably. Thank you for your kind attention and we look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely
Chris Wong
