上次在家里找到了一封旧信。
Dear Mr George,
I'm writing to ask for your help. Our school will hold an English Poetry Reading Contest next weekend. I am eager to have a try. it is required that the theme should be about nature. Each contestant is
given up to five minutes to read the poem. So would you please be so kind to give me some recommendations on which poem to choose?
Besides, what I need are the skills of recitation, including
pronunciation and intonation,which will perfect my performance.
I'd appreciate it if you could give me some guidance. Looking forward to your reply.
下面是译文部分。
亲爱的乔治先生：
我写信是想请求你的帮助。我们学校下周末将举办英语诗歌朗诵比赛。我很想试一试。要求主题应该是关于自然的。每位参赛者都要花了五分钟读这首诗。所以请你给我推荐一下应该选哪首诗好吗？
此外，我需要的是背诵的技巧，包括发音和语调，这将使我的表演更加完美。
如果你能给我一些指导我会很感激的。期待您的回复。
（没想到这个已经过了这么久。现在都已经工作很多年，颇有点感慨时间流逝的意味。）
