该信件必须包括两方面内容，首先是接受邀请，可以写成一小段，但是在此之前当然还有对收到邀请表示感谢并确认应邀出席。第二段是给出讲座要点，包括你的主要观点以及讲座涉及的主要方面。这时，如果你想得高分，可以把这一段写得稍微专业一点。信件的结尾别忘记写客套语。

这张图反映了我国博物馆数量和参观人数在三年期间的变化，可以看出随着博物馆数量的增加，参观人数也逐年上升。文章可以分三段，第一段描述图表内的重要数据及其变化趋势——考生要特别注意数字单位，第二段描述造成这一趋势的原因，并描述可能存在的问题，第三段可以就进一步提高参观人数提出具体建议。当然也可以从另一个方面进行写作，比如在描述完图表之后，谈参观博物馆的意义，重点谈博物馆起到的诸多社会作用，最后谈为了发挥博物馆的这些作用，博物馆的管理应该做出什么改进或改革。

范文

The chart shows that there is a corresponding rise in the number of visitors as museums increase in number.As the number of museums rose from 4165 in 2013 to 4697 in 2015, more visitors crowded into them, with the number in 2015 reaching 781.1 million from 637.8 million two years ago.It can be predicted that the number of visitors will continue to rise in the upcoming years.

There are of course various reasons for the increase of visitors.First, as more museums are constructed nationwide and open, people find it more convenient to visit them.Second, we all know that museums assume the important function of educating the young generation of the country.Parents are eager to take their children to museums to broaden their knowledge on various subjects, such as nature, science and technology, culture and history.Thirdly, most of the museums in China admit visitors free of charge, which also leads to an increase in the number of visitors.

However, museums can take more effective measures to attract more visitors.First, they can design some projects so that the visitors, especially the young visitors, can experience the culture or technology by themselves rather than simply looking at it.Museums can also cooperate with schools and universities in designing some courses or programs which can further expand the students'knowledge about the exhibits and related history.Measures like these will increase the visiting volume.
