Dear Li Hua,

I’m very glad if you can come and spend your summer vacation with me. It’s so long since we saw in Shanghai and I’m eager to know about your life and study at school. When you are here, we can listen to American music, play computer games, etc. We can go fishing by the Changjiang River as well. If you like, we can do what we can to enjoy ourselves.

Looking forward to your coming.

Smith

【参考答案一】

Dear Smith,

Thank you very much for inviting me to your home and I like very much to spend my summer vacation with you in Shanghai. But I’m afraid I won’t be able to come because I’ve promised my grandmother that I’ll spend the vacation with her in the country. It’s a long time since I last saw her. She is alone and feels lonely.

I’m getting on well with my study and life at school. You needn’t worry about me. Here is a piece of good news that I got full marks in the final English exam.

See you next time.

Best wishes!

Yours,

Li Hua

【参考答案二】

Dear Smith,

Thank you for your invitation. I didn’t think that you would invite me to spend the summer vacation in Shanghai. So I have promised my grandmother that I would pass the vacation with her in the country. She lives alone and misses me very much.

Everything goes well with me, including my study, my life and so on. I have made much progress with my English. Now I can express myself fluently in English with foreigners.

Have a good vacation!(from www.nmet168.com)

Bset wishes!

Yours,

Zhang Bin
