Sample writing
Hi, Steve!
I’m Li Hua. I heard you’d like to experience some more Chinese culture before going back. So why not come to my home for the weekend I have a good plan.
As both of us prefer playing sport, let’s play ping-pong in the morning. After that, we can practise writing with a Chinese brush together. You may find it hard to write with a Chinese brush at first. But don’t worry about that. My father will offer to lend a hand. You’ll find how beautiful Chinese characters are! To experience more, we are going to make jiaozi. If you have difficulties in making it, my family and I will be glad to help you. It will be a great chance for you to try traditional Chinese food made by yourself.
Would you like to come If you can make it, you’ll surely have great fun. I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
