1. In 2015, the city of Melbourne, Australia created a ''tree-mail'' service, in which all of the trees in the city received an email address so that residents could report any tree-related issues. As an unexpected result, people began to email their favorite trees sweet and occasionally humorous letters. Imagine this has been expanded to any object (tree or otherwise) in the world, and share with us the letter you'd send to your favorite.

2015年,澳大利亚墨尔本市创建了一项“树木邮件”服务。该城市的所有树木都被分配了一个电子邮箱地址,居民可以报告任何与树木相关的问题。出乎意料的是,人们开始通过电子邮件给他们最喜欢的树木发送甜蜜温馨甚至是搞笑的信件。想象一下这个现象已经扩展到世界上的任何对象和物件(树或其他),并与我们分享您发送给您最喜欢的对象或物件的一封信。

破题:
澳大利亚墨尔本市创建“树木邮件“的初衷是希望市民能够报告树木毁坏以及树枝掉落等危险事件。然而市民却开始为树木写赞美的情书。
“I see you every morning, watch you change with the seasons. It makes me happy knowing you are there,” emailed one resident.”
An emailer says, “I am stuck inside and am so jealous of you soaking up the sun. You seem to be having a ball out there.”
这道题看似简单,无非是对一个你最爱的物件写一封信。然而这个最爱的物件需要认真地选材。这个物件需要代表某一种品质、意志、信念、价值,从而引申出你为什么对这个物件喜爱,并深入地写出你对这个物件的理解、它在你生活中的角色、你与它的共鸣等。信中可以以各种方式体现学生的思想深度,脑洞可以大,但是价值观需要正确、情感需要真实,在展示学生学术水平的同时体现深刻的认知和思想。
