Hi, boys and girls,
We want to invite you to take part in our school’s art festival.
This art festival will last for three days, from November 6 to 8. All the things of the art festival are completed by our students themselves. They are really great.
Our school is very beautiful, so you can also take a deep breath of fresh air and enjoy the beauty of our school by then.
But here’s a small request help us finish the following four tasks.
We believe you will successfully finish the four tasks. We’re looking forward to your coming and we hope you will think highly of our art festival.
Best wishes.
