Hi, Martin How are you all? You know I'm going to China soon for a two- week holiday and I'm really looking forward to seeing you. I would like to see some famous places, like Beijing and Suzhou. It's better to learn some history and culture about China during the trip. Please give me some advice so that I can have a perfect holiday. Lots of love, Linda |
Hi, Linda What good news! At last you are coming to visit us in China. I know you are really interested in Chinese history and culture, so I suggest that we visit Xi' an. It's a city with a long history. If we go there, we will get the chance to see the Terracotta Army. It's called the eighth wonder of the world. We can ride bikes around the old city wall. In order to protect the city, Ancient Chinese people started to build it in Ming Dynasty. Grand Tang Dynasty Ever- bright City is a must to go. We can see fantastic shows and taste delicious food there. Xi' an is also a modern city and there are many other interesting places there. I believe we will have fun by taking a city walk there. Love, Martin |
