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


给同学的信

亲爱的王晓，

   我很高兴得知你将在为期一周的假期里来看我。我的父母也会很高兴再次见到你。我相信你会享受这里的每一分钟。

   我已为假期安排了日程安排如下。在你到达的第一天，我带你参观我们的校园。第二天，我们将参观美术馆和音乐厅。第二天，我们将在这座城市的东北部爬上一座小山。在山顶上，我们可以鸟瞰这座城市。在接下来的三天里，我们会去附近的一些景点短途旅行，如天鹅洞，黄金湖等。

   请记得打电话告诉我你的车次和到达时间，以便我能在火车站接你。顺便说一下，这里很热，我们有很多阳光，所以别忘了戴太阳镜。

   我盼望很快见到你。

你真诚的，

张颖
