Write a letter to one of your high school classmates who is in a nearby city, and invite him/her to your city at this weekend. Some necessary details must be included. Do not sign your own name at the end of your letter, using “Li Ming” instead. Dear Tina,
I am so glad to hear that you recently turned a postgraduate student in Shanghai University. I wonder whether you could come to Suzhou this weekend and enjoy a good time together with me.
We can first go to several classical gardens of Suzhou, which are masterpieces of Chinese landscape garden design in which art, nature, and ideas are integrated perfectly to create ensembles of great beauty and peaceful harmony. Then I will treat you to dinner at a local hotpot restaurant on Phoenix Street—its flavor is really nice, and Im sure you will enjoy it. After dinner, lets go boating on the Jinji Lake—the lake is so beautiful and the breeze is so cool! Later we will go to a concert—you are a music lover, arent you?
If you couldnt come, please notify me before Friday. If you have time, please tell me which train you will take and I will meet you at the railway station.
I am looking forward to meeting you.
Sincerely yours,
Li Ming
