129、推测词义有时作者会在文章中举例子来说明一件事情，这些例子也能为我们推测词义提供线索或提示。When I was about twelve, I suddenly developed a great passion for writing poetry.

130、个例子collecting stamps（收集邮票）。根据这个例子我们很容易想到hobby是一种“业余爱好”。2. 如何写电子邮件写e-mail和写英文信相差不多，主要由称呼、正文和落款三部分构成。写作时要注意以下两点： 用问候语开始邮件的内容。例如 “Dear Mary,”等。根据你与收件人的关系亲近与否，你可能选择使用他们的姓氏来称呼他们而不是直呼其名，例如“Dear Mrs. Price” 如果关系比较亲密的话，你就可以说，Hi Kelly,。结束语中，可用I havent seen you for a long time. / How are you? / I hope to hear
131、 from you soon.等语句。另外，根据行文需要，可以适当增加相关内容。电子邮件要直接表明你的意图。例如，I am writing to enquire about 或是I am writing in reference to 。在电子邮件开头澄清你的来意非常重要，这样才能更好的引出邮件的主要内容。目前在各地英语试题中，电子邮件的内容要点通常以“汉语提示”或“图画提示”的形式出现。因此，写作时首先必须弄清“提示”的主旨大意，然后紧紧围绕其主要内容进行表述，将要点写全。练习假设你是卜曼宜，你购买了一部某外国公司生产的手机，因有质量问题，要求该公司更换。请根据下列要点，用英文写一封电子邮件
132、。要点：1. 问题：手机不响铃，不能发短信；该产品已售完，无法更换；型号新，无配件，无法维修。2. 要求：公司应尽快在一月内予以更换。注意：1. 词数为100左右；2. 参考词汇：配件 spare part请在空白处填入适当的词语完成下面电子邮件：Dear Sir,(1)_ to you for the mobile phone of Dephone-S250 I bought on 20th Apr. 2008 at Tele mall in Wuhan, P.R.
