Dear Albert,
I'm glad to know that you're planning to visit our city and now I'd like to tell you something about it.
Chengdu, the capital city of Sichuan Province, is located at the western edge of the Sichuan Basin and the climate here is pleasant all year round. With abundant natural resources, it is the birthplace of Sichuan cuisine, in which the Sichuan pepper is the most unique and important spice. Besides, there are many tourist attractions worth visiting. For example, the Dujiangyan, an irrigation system constructed by the State of Qin, contributes to the agricultural development of Chengdu. In addition, Chengdu is home to giant pandas and I'm sure you will fall in love with them.
Looking forward to your coming.
Yours,
Li Hua
2.文娱与体育
Dear Jay,
How is everything going? Knowing that you are also a fan of Jay Chou, I would like to invite you to go to his concert in our city on Thursday night.
Jay Chou is a famous Chinese pop singer, whose Blue and White Porcelain is one of my favorite songs. I recommended it to you before, and you said you liked it. Besides, you said you also liked his unique voice. I believe the concert will be a perfect chance to enjoy his music and know more about him.
I wonder if it will be convenient for you to meet me at the school gate at six p.m. this Thursday. I would appreciate it if you could go with me together.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
3.旅游与交通
Dear Editor,
I’ve read your discussion on how to behave properly while traveling. Every year, a great many holiday makers go out for sightseeing and relaxation. While they are enjoying themselves, some of them behave rudely, which causes a big concern. How to be a civilized tourist has become a heated topic.
In my opinion, it is necessary to watch our manners. First, we must respect and follow local customs. Besides, we’d better not talk loudly in public places to avoid disturbance to others. Also, be aware that queue jumping is unacceptable in many countries.
More importantly, if we travel abroad, we should bear in mind that we are representing our country, so we need to be cautious about how we act. Only in this way can we enjoy our trips and have beautiful memories as well.
Yours truly
Li Hua
