A Letter to A Schoolmate

June 23, 2001

Dear Xiao Wang,

   I’m very glad to learn that you’re going to visit me during the week-long holiday. My parents will also be happy to see you again. I am sure you will enjoy every minute here.

   I have arranged our schedule for the holiday as follows. On the first day you arrive, I’ll show you around our campus. On the second day, we’ll visit the art gallery and the music hall. Next day, we’ll climb a hill in the northeastern part of the city. On the top of the hill, we can have a wonderful bird’s eye view of the city. During the next three days, we’ll make some short trips to some places of interest nearby, such as the Swan Cave, the Golden Lake, etc. On the last day, I’ll see you off at the railway station.

   Please remember to call and tell me your train number and time of arrival so that I can meet you at the railway station. By the way, it’s very hot here and we have a lot of sunshine, so don’t forget to wear you sunglasses.

   I’m looking forward to seeing you soon.

Sincerely yours,

Zhang Ying


給同學的信

2001年6月23日

親愛的王曉，

   我很高興得知你將在為期一周的假期里來看我。我的父母也會很高興再次見到你。我相信你會享受這里的每一分鐘。

   我已為假期安排了日程安排如下。在你到達的第一天，我帶你參觀我們的校園。第二天，我們將參觀美術館和音樂廳。第二天，我們將在這座城市的東北部爬上一座小山。在山頂上，我們可以鳥瞰這座城市。在接下來的三天里，我們會去附近的一些景點短途旅行，如天鵝洞，黃金湖等。

   請記得打電話告訴我你的車次和到達時間，以便我能在火車站接你。順便說一下，這里很熱，我們有很多陽光，所以別忘了戴太陽鏡。

   我盼望很快見到你。

你真誠的，

張穎
