Directions 13

Write a letter to one of your high school classmates who is in a nearby city, and invite him/her to your city at this weekend. Some necessary details must be included. Do not sign your own name at the end of your letter, using "Li Ming" instead.

Sample:

Dear Linda,

       We haven't seen each other for six years after graduation. I am so glad to hear that you have graduated from UCLA and come back to work in Suzhou. If you are free this Saturday, please come to Shanghai and have a good time with me.

       We can first go to the Century Park, where the flowers are all in blossom. Let's go boating on the lake -isn't it pleasant in the cool breeze? Then I will treat you to dinner at a western restaurant on Huaihai Road-it is small but really nice-I'm sure you will enjoy it. After dinner, let's go to a concert-you are a music lover, aren't you?

       If you couldn't come, please notify me before Friday. If you can, please tell me which train you will take and I will meet you at the railway station.

       I am looking forward to meeting you.

Sincerely yours,

Li Ming
