Dear Jim,

I’m terribly sorry that I can’t go to your birthday party this Saturday.

My uncle will come to Beijing from America on Saturday afternoon. My parents want me to go to the airport with them to pick him up. So it’s a pity that I can’t have fun with you then.

I wish you have a happy birthday and hope everything will go well. By the way, I have bought the latest CD of Jay Chou for you as a birthday present and I will give it to you on Monday.

Best wishes,

Li Hua

Silk Road Travel

   This winter vacation I went to Dunhuang to explore the Silk Road with my classmates.

   As soon as we got off the train, we were all excited and attracted by the historical touch. The next day, we visited the Mogao Caves. Impressed by the splendid construction, we took many photos. A narrator introduced the wall painting to us. With curiosity, we listened attentively, asking questions and taking notes. The camel ride on the third day was surely the most exciting part of our tour. Looking far into the desert, I pictured how ancient Chinese travelled along the Silk Road. How time flew. Soon it was the last day of our tour. At the train station, we took a photo holding a banner with “Culture Tour along the Silk Road” on it.

  The trip ended but my interest keeps growing and I’m longing to see more interesting sites along the Silk Road.
