范文示例2：
Dear Sir,
My family are planning a visit to Hong Kong Disneyland this winter vacation. I’ve got some information about the ticket prices on the Internet. I would be grateful if you could send me information concerning some details.
I wonder whether children under 3 need to pay for a ticket and what is the difference between a peak day ticket and a special day ticket. Is it possible for us to get a discount if we buy tickets as a group? Can we book tickets through the Internet? Besides, I’d like to know if we are allowed to cancel our ticket bookings if we cannot make the trip for personal reasons.
Thank you in advance for your assistance. I am looking forward to your immediate response at your earliest convenience.
Yours,
Li Hua

Respectable Sir,
I am writing to you to ask for information about the membership of the English Club. As a sophomore from the English Department, I love English literature very much. I often attend the English Corner held on Friday in the People’s University of China and would like to discuss various topics in English with others.(开篇说明写信的理由+必要的背景介绍)

What’ more, I have also heard that the club will host various activities, but would you please give me more details about the activities?（正文部分要客气的语句询问想知道的信息）
