① 留英必備技能：小小郵編，英國人的隱形身份標簽
在英國，郵編不僅僅是一個地址的標簽，它更像是一張隱形的身份證，貫穿於生活的每一個角落。無論是日常的郵寄、叫車還是進行在線交易，郵編都是必不可少的信息，它以一種神奇的方式幫助人們定位並連接到世界的各個角落。
在英國，郵編稱為「Postcode」，其格式多樣，從A0 0AA到A0A 0AA，每一種都承載著特定的意義。從郵域到郵區，從郵政部門到遞送點，郵編就像是一個精確的地圖，指引著郵差准確無誤地將信件包裹送達目的地。
倫敦的郵編系統別具特色，以泰晤士河為界，東南西北各有歸屬，這不僅簡化了地址的描述，也使得倫敦的郵編成為了一張地理坐標圖。通過郵編，我們能夠快速了解一個人的居住方位，而這種信息的精確度在其他許多國家的郵政系統中是難以達到的。
在英國，郵編的作用遠超於簡單的地址標注。它成為商業交易、公共服務乃至社交活動中的重要一環。郵編與收入、社會地位的關聯性，使得它在商業決策和人口統計中扮演著重要角色。對於倫敦人來說，郵編不僅是一種生活方式的小細節，更是身份認同和社會地位的象徵。
倫敦的高端社交圈中，郵編成為了一種身份的象徵，而位於SW3、SW7、W11、W8和SW1開頭的區域，如切爾西、南肯辛頓、諾丁山、肯辛頓和騎士橋、貝爾格萊維亞，是財富和地位的代名詞。對於那些追求高端生活的倫敦人而言，擁有一個黃金郵編區的住址，是進入社交圈層的入場券。
當然，除了黃金郵編區，Fulham也以其獨特的魅力成為中產階級的首選。它不僅提供了舒適的居住環境，還享有良好的教育資源，成為許多家庭的理想選擇。
隨著時代的發展，郵編在英國社會中的作用日益顯著，它不僅是一種地址標注，更是身份、財富和社會地位的象徵。在英國，郵編的力量超越了簡單的地理描述，成為連接人們生活、商業和社交活動的重要紐帶。
② 英國的習俗都有哪些
這個問題有意思!
如果是英國的話，禁止宰殺天鵝算不算?
從12世紀開始，泰晤士河以及支流上的野生天鵝都屬於王室財產，宰殺其中任何一隻都是違法的，每年英國王室還會派人清點天鵝的數量。之前，就有留學生因為企圖宰殺食用野生天鵝，導致差點被遣返。
還有搬運大件物品回家犯法。
在倫敦，根據1839年倫敦警察廳法案第54條例規定：在人行道上滾動或者搬動任何木桶，缸，梯子，木板，海報等大型物品，屬於違法行為(從路邊手推車或者馬車上下搬運之類物品除外)最大限度罰款£500，但該條例僅適合於倫敦。
聽我們以前回來的一位留學生說，還有禁止在公共場合唱生日歌……
由於版權問題，法律規定不可以在公共場合給朋友唱生日快樂歌，否則將不得不付費。
還有什麼好玩的暫時想不起來了，大家想到什麼都來說說哈~~我也很好奇的說!

Ⅱ、IELTS作文Task1部分寫作
一、信開頭的稱呼

1、對於團體，機構的信箋：Sir or Madam，
與之相對應的結尾是：Sincerely yours,

二、書信第一段的寫作（1-2句，30字左右）
書信作文第一段的兩個功能：1、寫信的目的；
2、與讀信人的關系。
* 命題中給出的信息一般比較模糊，沒有具體的人名和事件，這些模糊信息就是寫作時擴展的基本。
1、講義P1
You are studying in a foreign university and are arranged to be a home-stay student, but the living condition is not satisfied. Please write a letter to complain.
對模糊信息的擴展↓
I am a student at the Law School, Oxford University. When I entered the school on June 1st, 2005, I was arranged to be a home-stay student. I find that I have to complain the living condition.命題信息↑
2、講義P1

However, my school is short of sports facilities, so many students are in bad physical condition. Thereby, I am writing (I write) to you to ask whether it is possible for the students to use your facilities.
* ⑴ 此處不能用our school，our school代表兩人是同一所學校；My school是指我所在的學校。
⑵ 如果用在稱呼且不清楚對方性別時，不能寫chairman/chairwoman，只寫chair即可。4、講義P1
You have bought a CD player days ago and found that it didn』t work. Write a letter to the department store for refund.

5、講義P2

Please write a letter to one of your close friends asking whether he or she will be able to join with you. You are supposed to tell him or her in your letter the schele and things to be brought.

三、書信主體中間段落的寫作（8句話，2-3段）
主體段落是一個創作和擴展的過程，條件的構成是：時間、空間和人物，與IELTS寫作Task 2的主體部分的構思非常相似。
以講義P2的題目為例：
Your town is planning to build a major new road. You dislike this plan. Writing a letter to the local government:
⑴ Explain the situation;
⑵ Why you are unhappy;
⑶ Give your suggestions.
分析：
