课文展示
Dear Mr Jenson,
I am writing on behalf of the Student Union.As you know,we are running a schoolwide public speaking competition,and the final will take place at the lecture hall on 10 May(9 a.m.-12 p.m.).①I am writing to ask whether you would be willing to help us judge the final competition.
Since March,we have already had two rounds of the competition,with more than 100 students.②Now we have 12 students left for the final.The topic of the final speech is “Education for Innovation”.Students have to give a fiveminute speech on the topic in English.
During the final round,as a judge,②you should be responsible for listening to all the speeches,noting down any positive or negative aspects for each one.Competitors should be judged on their pronunciation,clarity and fluency,and also progression of ideas and audience engagement.Then you will discuss your notes with three other judges,and come to a decision about who comes first,second and third.
Would you have time to attend a short meeting at the Student Union Room at 4 pm on May so that we can introduce you to the other judges and discuss the details?We would not take up much of your time.
③ I sincerely hope you can come.If you have any questions,please do let me know.
Yours sincerely,
Zhao Zheng
President,Student Union

Part 3:Expressing expectation.③处
