從電視上看到流行甲型HINI流感（A/HINIflu）仍然在美國流行,你為你正在美國上學(xué)的筆友Jack的健康與安全擔(dān)心。請你給他寫一封信詢問他的情況，并給他提出防護建議。

要點：

一、詢問

1．他的健康狀況；

2．他們學(xué)校有無甲型HINI流感病例（A/HINIflucases）；

3．他們是否對這一大面積流行的疾病感到恐懼。

二、建議

1．盡量呆在家里，少去人多的地方；

2．勤洗手；講衛(wèi)生

3．多開窗，保持空氣新鮮；

4．多吃水果蔬菜。

注意：

1．字數(shù)：100左右；

2．首尾已給出，不計入總詞數(shù)。

who/whoever（誰/無論誰），指人，無限定范圍；what/whatever（什么/無論什么），指物，無限定范圍；which/whichever(哪個/無論哪個)，即指人又指物，有限定范圍。whichever的意思“……的那個人或事物”，在意義上大致相當(dāng)于thepersonorthethingthat。如：Youcanpickwhicheveroneyoulike.你喜歡哪個就挑哪個。

Whicheverofyoucomesfirstwillreceiveaprize.你們誰第一誰就能得獎。

We’lleatatwhicheverrestauranthasafreetable.哪個飯館有空桌我們就在哪兒吃吧。
