Part A

　　Dear Andy,

　　I have read the advertisement and I am very glad to become your pen- friend.

　　I am a girl of 25 years old. I live with my parents in Beijing. I have a brother working in a computer company. I' m a history teacher in a junior middle school. I share the same hobbies with you, and I also like traveling and hiking very much. I usually go camping with my friends on weekends. I like to make friends, not only in Beijing, but also in other countries. It's a great pleasure to know you. And I am looking forward to hearing from you.

　　Yours sincerely,

　　Li Ping

　　Part B

　　Recently, a tragedy happened in Hebei, China. A very young girl died because of cell phone explosion. Her cell phone exploded when she was talking to her boyfriend at night via cell phone , which is being charged.

　　This sad news caused public discussion all over country. Experts and researchers claimed that cell phone users should avoid of using cell phone when charging them in case of security issues.

　　Those people who frequently use cell phones are concerned about the safety of cell phone using. Most users are frightened by this news and promised that they would never use cell phones when it was being charged. Yet, someone intended to question the liability of the phone producers and want to get safety assurance from them.

　　In my opinion, as many cautionary tales as I have heard, I will try to get rid of the cell phone addiction and find other things to do when it is being charged.
