Unit 5 Travelling abroad
假设你是李华,你打算利用假期出国旅游。请你就此给你的美国笔友Michael写一封信,谈论一下你出国旅游的原因,并邀请Michael有时间来中国。
要点如下:
1.出国旅游很有意义;
2.开阔眼界,了解国外的风俗和历史;
3.和来自不同文化背景的人交朋友、学习外语;
4.放松身心,欣赏美景。
Dear Michael,
How are you?
These days, I am planning to travel abroad during the vacation. I think travelling abroad is very meaningful. First, travelling abroad can broaden my horizons. When I visit a foreign country, I can learn more about the customs and history of the country. At the same time, I can make lots of friends. Besides, communicating with the local people will give me the chance to learn a foreign language. The most important thing is that I can relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Michael, please come to China when you are free. I do hope you can witness the great changes in China.
Best wishes!
Yours truly,
Li Hua
