A letter to a Schoolmate
June 23, 2001
Dear Xiao Wang,
I’m delighted to learn that you are going to visit me during the week-long vacation. My parents will also be happy to see you again. I’m sure you will enjoy every minute here.
I know you are fond of swimming. A river lies not far away from my home. We can go swimming there. I think it would be very pleasant and refreshing to swim in such hot summer days. In every big room of my home there is an air-conditioner. We can watch TV, play CDs or read books very comfortably at home.
A mountain about two miles away from here is beautiful and it is worth touring. We can go there on foot. When we climb to the top of the mountain, we can have a wonderful bird-eye view of the whole village. Just phone me before you set off. There is no need for you to take anything. I’ll prepare everything for you.
I am looking forward to seeing you soon.
Yours,
Zhang Ying

给同学的一封信
2001年6月23日
亲爱的小王，
我非常高兴的得知你将在为期一周的假期来看我。我的父母也很高兴再次见到你。我相信你会喜欢这里的每一分钟。
我知道你喜欢游泳。一条河不在于远离我的家。我们可以去那里游泳。我认为它会在这种炎热的夏天游泳非常的舒服。我家的每一间房里都有空调。我们可以看电视，播放CD或看书，舒舒服服地在家。
从两英里外有一座山非常漂亮很值得一看。我们可以步行去那里。我们爬到山顶时，我们可以有一个美好的整个村庄鸟瞰图。刚才打电话给我，你出发之前。没有必要为你做任何事。我会为您准备一切。
我期待着很快见到你。
你的，
张颖
