Dear George,
I’m writing to ask for your help. Having entered for the English Poetry Reading Competition launched by our school yet not equipped with adequate preparations, I’m in urgent need of your rock-solid suggestions.
Participants are required to recite a delicately-selected English poem within a time limit of 3 minutes. Winners are expected to win three judges』 credits and the audience’s heart.
However, what troubles me to no end is that I haven’t found a marvelous poem yet. I would appreciate it if you could recommend a few poems, which are positive-energy and to the point. Moreover, would you be kind enough to offer me some guidance on my reading skills such as the tune, the emotion and the gesture?
Your unconditional and timely help will be engraved in my mind. Looking forward to your early reply!

I’m writing to ask for your help. I am embraced with tremendous passion to participate in the English Poem Reciting Contest held by our school. Nonetheless, there are still some problems haunting my mind. I hope you can do me a favour.
The contest requires all participants to recite native English poems in fluent English. When it comes to English poems, of which I have a poor knowledge, I can’t pick out an appropriate one. Consequently, I hope you can recommend some simple, positive and emotional poems for me to choose from.
Equally importantly, it’s the reciting techniques that trouble me to no end. I want to consult you for some practical recitation skills such as how to express the hidden feelings accurately as well as emotionally.
Any constructive advice will be highly appreciated.

I’m writing to ask for your help. I have the intention of taking part in the English Poetry Recitation Contest launched by our school. But I am encountered with some difficulties, which trouble me a lot.
Initially, aiming to arouse students』 sense of protecting the environment, the contest requires that participants should prepare some poems concerning nature.
But what upsets me most is that I can’t find a poem that can meet my appetite. Would you please be so kind as to recommend some poems of this kind to me? Moreover, I find it challenging to pronounce well and I can’t convey my emotion properly. I would appreciate it if you could teach me some pronouncing skills.
Looking forward to your early reply.

The contest, launched by our school, requires us to recite poems in fluent English. Besides, the selected poems should be positive and to the point. Better still, as a professional English teacher, could you please recommend some glorious English poems to me? I would appreciated it if you could tailor the poem to my need.
