1. 参考范文:
Dear Tom,
I’m glad you’ve read the story of the Rainbow Bookstore.
The independent bookstore once faced closure. Fewer customers chose physical books because e‑books and online bookstores became popular. Luckily, the whole community joined efforts to save it. With new creative activities, it was reborn as a warm gathering place for book‑lovers.
I think tradition can survive when combined with creativity. It sets a good example for old stores.
Yours,
Li Hua

2. 参考范文:
Dear editor,
I’m writing to offer practical suggestions for our local old bookstore.
Nowadays, it is suffering great pressure from online book sales. To change the situation, first, the bookstore can hold more community activities, such as book‑reading nights and poetry recitals, to draw in book lovers. Besides, it can sell stationery and local goods apart from books, creating a comfortable social space rather than just a place for buying books.
I hope these ideas will help the old store take on a new look.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
