Possible examplePossible example
Dear Bill,
I think I have got enough information
about crosstalk and can answer your
questions about it. Crosstalk is a
traditional form of Chinese comedy,
which began during the Qing Dynasty.
At that time, performers travelled
between villages and did small comic
performances.
You asked me about different parts of
crosstalk performance. It can be done by
one person, two people, three people or
more, and involves singing, telling jokes
and talking. The talking is normally
between two performers, who visit their
language in ways that make people laugh.
There is also a one-person form of
crosstalk, and it is occasionally done by
three or more people. You can hear a
whole story if you listen to a crosstalk
performance. It has an obvious beginning,
middle and end.
You wanted to know something about
famous crosstalk performers, living and
dead. One of the first crosstalk artists was
Zhu Shaowen, whose stage name was
Qiongbupa, or ‘ Poor-but-proud’ in
English. The most important master is
Hou Baolin, who died in 1993. Another
one named Ma Sanli was from a famous
crosstalk family, whose grandfather,
father and brother were all crosstalk
performers. He died in 2003. There are
quite a few famous crosstalk artists loved
by the Chinese people and they are still
active on stage, such as Jiang Kun, Feng
Gong and Niu Qun. Now there are also
famous foreign crosstalk performers,
among who is Da Shan from Canada. A
lot of Chinese know him and like his
performance very much.
As for where one can hear it or see it, we
often listen to it on the radio or TV. The
best time to see or hear crosstalk is on
television during the Spring Festival.
You asked if you could learn it outside
of China and if you needed to speak
Chinese to enjoy crosstalk. You hardly
get the chance to learn crosstalk outside
of China. And if you want to enjoy it,
you must be able to speak Chinese. Now
in Beijing, a famous crosstalk master
Ding Guangquan gives lessons to foreigners.
He was one of Hou Baolin’s students and
has been teaching foreigners to perform
since 1989.
If you want to know more about Chinese
crosstalk, just e-mail me.
Yours,
…(name)
e-maile-mail 写作要领写作要领 首先 , 必须要标题( Heading )栏的‘收件人 (To)’ 框中输入收信人的 E-mail

如 greetings; 长的可以是一个名词性短语 ,
也可以是完整句,但长度一般不超过 3
5 个字母。‘主题’框的内容切忌含糊不清。像 News about the meeting 这样的表达 , 应改为 Tomorrow's meeting c
anceled 。一般来说 , 只要将位于句首的单词和专有名词的首字母大写即可。另外一种较为正规的格式可将除了少于

ail Address Notification 。视信的内容是否重要 , 还可以开头加上 URGENT 或者 FYI ( For Your Information, 供参考 ), 如: URGENT : Submit your rep

E-mail 文体的另外一个特点是简单明了 , 便于阅读 , 太长的内容可以以附件的方式发出。一个段落大多仅由一到三个句子组成。信尾客套话( Co
