应用文 - Should We Establish a Graffiti Wall?
题目
你校英文报 Campus Culture 栏目正在开展关于是否设立涂鸦墙（graffiti wall）讨论。请你写一篇短文投稿，内容包括：
1. 你的见解； 2. 你的建议。
范文
Recently, our school newspaper Campus Culture has initiated a discussion regarding（发起了一场关于…的讨论） the establishment of a graffiti wall on campus. Personally, I heartily endorse（由衷地支持） this proposal.
To begin with, a graffiti wall serves as an ideal vehicle（是…的理想载体） for students to unleash their creativity（释放他们的创造力） and vent their emotions（宣泄他们的情绪）. Given the grueling academic schedule（鉴于繁重的学业安排）, a designated space for artistic expression acts as a stress-reliever（起到了减压作用）, fostering individuality and imagination. Moreover, a well-curated graffiti wall can breathe new life into（为…注入新的活力） our campus culture, transforming dull corners into vibrant galleries. Rather than leaving random scribbles on desks, students are encouraged to showcase their talents in a more constructive and organized manner.
However, to ensure the wall functions as intended（为确保这面墙能按预期发挥作用）, certain measures are indispensable. Primarily, a clear code of conduct（行为准则） should be implemented to filter out inappropriate content. Additionally, the school could collaborate with student unions to organize periodic themed competitions（定期的主题竞赛）, which would not only stimulate artistic enthusiasm but also guide students toward positive self-expression.
In conclusion, establishing a graffiti wall is a visionary initiative（有远见的举措）. With proper guidance and systematic management, it will undoubtedly become a landmark of our campus culture, contributing to a more dynamic and harmonious school life.

Dear Tom,
Knowing that you have a keen interest in traditional Chinese festivals, I’m writing to invite you to our school’s Lunar New Year （农历新年）celebration.
The event will be held in the school auditorium at 7:00 p.m. next Friday. It promises to be a vibrant night filled with traditional activities, such as paper-cutting（剪纸）, riddle-solving（猜灯谜）, and a variety of stage performances（舞台表演）.More importantly, my classmates and I are planning to perform a “East meets West”（中西合璧） musical piece, and we would be thrilled if you could join us! We’re thinking of blending a traditional Chinese instrument with your amazing guitar skills. It would be a fantastic way to showcase cultural fusion（文化融合）.
Please let me know if you’re interested. Looking forward to your early reply!
Yours sincerely,
