Hi, Xiaoling,

    Thanks so much for inviting me to visit you in China I can't wait to see you. I am very excited to stay with your family. But I can't speak Chinese at all. Please teach me. I know China is very big. And the Chinese food is very famous. I can't wait to try all the delicious food. And there is a lot of natural beauty in China. I really want to see the beautiful lakes and waterfalls in China. I finally got my passport last Monday and I booked my plane ticket yesterday. I will arrive at Baiyun Airport on July 10th. The plane lands at 2:00 pm. I'm so excited.
