Lost and Found
On the evening of January 4th, , I found an electronic dictionary in the English reading-room on the 3rd floor of the new library in the east district of our university.
The electronic dictionary can be generally described as follows. It is brand new and metallic gray in color. What‘s more, the portable electronic dictionary is as big as a piece of cake and as thin as a regular magazine.

A basketball match is to be held between your university team and the Cambridge University Team tomorrow. However, the latter can not come as scheduled. Write an announcement of sports delay to
– announce the delay of the basketball match,
– state the reason for the delay, and
– announce the new date and venue of the match.
Reference 3
An Announcement of Delay
Dear Teachers and Schoolmates,
I feel terribly sorry to inform all of you that the basketball match between our university team and the Cambridge University Team which is scheduled to be held tomorrow has to be delayed due to weather condition.
The Cambridge University Team should arrive at our university in the afternoon. However, these days, the United Kingdom has been shrouded in thick fog and the visibility is rather poor so that all the airports have been closed and the Cambridge University Team is prevented from coming to our university.
Through our mutual contact, the basketball match is delayed to the same date at the same venue next month. Hope God will bless us then.
Sincerely Yours,
Li Ming
