Homework
part6
Your foreign friend Jim is planning to visit China this year and asking you for some suggestions. Please write him an email. You are expected to talk about the advantages of studying Chinese history and recommend a great place to start a visit in China.
Dear Jim,
It’s nice to hear from you. I’m writing to share with you some suggestions for your visit to China.
Knowing a little Chinese history will be helpful when you visit China. It can help you understand a lot about our country and our traditions and can make your visit much more enjoyable.
If you visit China, I recommend Xi’an which is a great place to start, an ancient city with an interesting history. There are countless historic sites for you to explore, and lots of museums with ancient items from all over China. If you keep your eyes open, you will be surprised to find that you can see both its past and its present.
Looking forward to your arrival.
Yours,
Li Hua
