Mount Kilimanjaro

乞力马札罗山

Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in

Africa and the tallest freestanding

mountain known to man. It is a mountain

where you can hike for more than 90

kilometers, gain 4000 meters in altitude,

traverse rain forest, moorland, alpine

desert, snow fields and ice cliffs, all

virtually on the equator! A truly

unforgettable and fascinating adventure.

乞力马扎罗山 (Mount Kilimanjaro) 位于坦桑尼亚的东北部。乞力马扎罗山海拔五千八百多米，是非洲第一高峰，素有“ 非洲屋脊”之称。“乞力马扎罗”的意

思是“光辉的山”。山顶终年冰雪覆盖，所以又有“赤道雪峰”之称。乞力马扎罗山四周都是山林，那里生活着众多的哺乳动物， 其中一些还是濒于灭绝的钟类。

交际指南A. 表示祝贺用得最多的两个词是 Congratu

late 和 Congratulations 。其用法应注意以下几点：

（ 1 ） congratulate 是动词，一般要以“人”作宾语，而不以“事”作宾语。若要具体表明是因为某事而祝贺某人，要用介词 on （即说成 congratulate sb. on sth. ）。如“祝贺你取得成功”说成英语是：I congratulate you on your success.

（ 2 ） congratulations 是名词（通常用复数形式），它可以单独使用（意为：祝贺你；祝贺祝贺），也可在其后接介词短语来说明是因何事而祝贺或向谁祝贺 （注意：接事时用介词 on ，接人时用介词 to ）。如：

   Congratulations to you, Mary.

玛丽，祝贺你。

B. congratulate 以及 congratulations 表示祝贺时， 可用于成功、获胜、结婚、毕业以及生日等场合， 但一般不用于节日致词。

C. 回答祝贺一般用 Thank you 之类表示感谢的套语。

常用搭配：congratulate sb. on (doing) sth. 向某人祝贺……congratulate oneself on (doing) sth. 暗自庆幸……congratulations to sb. on (doing) sth.因为某事向某人表示祝贺

e.g. He sent them an email, congratulating t

hem on their success.

他发了一封电子邮件 , 祝贺他们成功。根据汉语提示完成句子。I came to ________________________

____________ ( 祝贺你获取第一名 ) in

the National Maths Olympic Competiti

on.

congratulate you on getting

the first place

congratulate 和 celebrate 的区别：这两个动词均有“庆祝，祝贺”之意。congratulate 指对他人祝贺为目的，希望他人幸福或走运。 celebrate 通常指举行盛大隆重的仪式庆祝或纪念有意义的日子或某件事情，多暗示节日般的欢乐场面。

We _______ him on his birthday and held a party to _______ it.A. congratulate; celebrate 　　　　　　B. celebrate; congratulateC. congratulated; celebrated 　　　　D. congratulated; celebrate解析：本题题意是：“我们给他祝贺生日，并举办宴会庆祝。”根据 congratulate和 celebrate 的用法，排除 B 项 ; 根据时态排除选项 A 和 C 。

A: You look happy, what’s up?

B: Our team just won.

A: Wow! That’s wonderful. You deserve it

after training so hard.

B: Yeah. And if we keep training like that we

should win more games.

A: I’m sure you will. Keep up the good work.

A letter of suggestion

A letter of suggestion normally has

five parts.

1. The Heading

This includes the address, line by

line, with the last line being the date.

Skip a line after the heading.

2. The Greeting.

The greeting always ends with a

comma. The greeting should be formal,

beginning with the word “dear”.

3. The body.

It is also known as the main text.

Generally speaking, the body includes

three parts. The first part (usually the

first paragraph) tells the receiver that

you are writing this letter to make

suggestions on something, and the main

part tells clearly what your suggestions

are. The last part (usually the last

paragraph) asks the

receiver to consider your suggestions.

Don’t forget to encourage the receiver

to take your suggestions. Skip a line

between paragraphs, especially in

typed or printed copy, and also help the

reader.

4. The complimentary close.

This short expression is always a

few words on a single line. It ends with

a comma. The complimentary close

begins with a capital letter and ends

with a comma.

5. The signature line.

Type or print your name. The

handwritten signature goes above this

line and below the close. The signature

line and the handwritten signature are

indented to the same column as the

close. The signature should be written in

blue or black ink.

Skip from one to three spaces (two on

a typewriter), and type in the

signature line the printed name of the

person signing the letter. Sign the

name in the space between the close

and the signature line, starting at the

left edge of the signature line.

A sample of a letter of suggestionMr. Xue Sun LeiChief architect 18 HongyangSupermarket design Yuquan County211 Kangwei Road Yuquan County18 March,200_ Dear Mr. Xue,

I learn from the local news that you are the

architect who is to design the

supermarket. I am writing to ask you to

consider the right of the disabled for

easy access. In particular, I would like

you to consider the following things:

1. Access to the supermarket for people in

wheelchairs and those who have

difficulty walking. The lifts should be

wide enough for the wheelchairs to

move around. The entrance should be

suitable for wheelchairs on the ground

floor. There should be special entry for

people for the blind.

2. Toilets. There should be special toilets

for the disabled. The bathrooms and

toilets should have doorways wide

enough for a wheelchair, doors that

are easy to open and close, and hand-

holds that the disabled can easily use.

3. Telephones should be easy for a person

in a wheelchair to reach. Generally

speaking, a supermarket is so big that

it is difficult for one, especially one in a

wheelchair to find what one needs. So

telephones should be easy to reach for

a person in a wheelchair so that he can

call the staff for help.

4. Shelves. When people design

the shelves, the disabled should

be taken into consideration.

Safety should come first.

Thank you for reading my letter. I hope

you will consider my suggestions. Disabled

people should have the same opportunity

as able-bodied people to enjoy the

supermarket and they should be able to

do so with dignity. It is very important to

use various forms of

technology which can assist individuals with various types of disabilities to increase their mobility and independence. I am sure if you design it with good access for the disabled, the supermarket will attract more customers and people will speak highly of your design.

Yours sincerely,Sunlei
