【答案】Dear Jake,
Summer vacation is coming soon. I’m excited to share my favorite book with you. It’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. I got this book as a birthday gift from my uncle two years ago. Since then, I’ve read it many times. The story is about a clever and adventurous boy named Tom Sawyer. He lives in a small town and has many exciting experiences, like exploring caves, pretending to be pirates, and even solving a mystery. I love this book because Tom’s adventures are so fun and imaginative. His courage and creativity inspire me. Also, the book teaches me about friendship and bravery. If you haven’t read it yet, I highly recommend it! Let me know what you think.
Yours,
Li Hua
