47. Directions:

　　Suppose you are going to study abroad and share an apartment with John, a local student, write him an email to

　　1) tell him about your living habits, and

　　2) ask for advice about living there.

　　Dear John,

　　I am Li Ming, your future roommate and a new arrival from China who is coming over here for further education. I am writing this letter to let you know about me and ask for some suggestions for my future life in America.

　　First, I am a quiet person so that your keeping silent would be highly appreciated. Second, I like cooking and I wonder whether it is okay to you that I cook Chinese dish at home, because the preparation for Chinese cuisine may produce much smoke. Third, I want to buy a car but I know nothing about traffic rules in America. Would you please give me a lesson about traffic laws in US.

　　Wish you reply soon.

　　Yours sincerely,

　　Li Ming
