Dear Rosemary,
I am sorry to hear that you’re currently in low spirits for you failed to pass the Chinese Proficiency Test. I can exactly feel how you feel. But it’s not the end of the world anyway. Pull yourself together, restore your faith and give it a second shot.
Learning Chinese is no easy task indeed. As a native speaker, I suggest that you should keep yourself immersed in Chinese materials including original works and songs, in which way you may cultivate a good sense for this fascinating language. And why not try to email me in Chinese next time?
As the saying goes, “After April showers come May flowers.” I will cross my fingers for you and wish you a satisfying outcome in advance.

I’m sorry to hear that you failed to pass the Chinese Proficiency Test. I quite understand how you feel now. You are not alone. Everybody experiences failures of all kinds.
However, as an old saying goes, failure is the mother of success. So never give up learning Chinese though you failed this time. Besides, analyze the cause of your failure and try to make up for what you’re lacking in. At the same time, try your best to build up confidence, which is the key to doing anything well.
I’m in firm belief that so long as you are confident and learn from your failure, you can make greater progress in your Chinese studies and you’ll surely pass the Chinese Proficiency Test.
三、结语
资深的语料库研究专家Sampson(2001)认为,迄今为止我们还只不过涉足到语料库大海边沿上的一点点小水泡。语料库在辅助外语教学方面起到了重要的作用。语料库提供了巨量的语言材料,真实自然、内容丰富,能反映最鲜活的语言使用情况,对语言的使用范式也极富解释力。在英语教学中,语料库的使用体现了“以学生为主体,以学习为中心,注重实践,注重创新能力培养”的现代教育思想。运用语料库辅助教学,更能培养学习者批评性思维能力,尤其是观察批量语言信息并且对其相同性和相似性进行组合或归类的能力。【本文为广东省教研“十二五”规划2015年度研究项目课题“基于语料库的高中英语写作研究”的阶段成果之一,课题编号:15JXN007】
