参考答案： July 15, 2001
My Dear Mary,
We are very lucky that we live in such a harmonious neighborhood and every one values it very much . I hope this kind of harmony will last forever. When I got home from work, my little daughter told me that our dog got into your garden this morning and did a great deal of damage. He climbed over the fence around his pen, run wild in your flowerbeds and ruined some plants . We certainly didn’ t expect this would happen. At this moment the fence is being built high, and he will be unable to escape again. I shall send you some plants to replace the ruined ones, hoping that they can somewhat compensate for the loss. Please accept our apologies. I treasure the friendly relationship between us and hope we are always good neighbors.
Yours cordially,Wang Ling
