Introduction of Zhangjiajie

Today’s experience of climbing Mount Tianzi
The travel plan for tomorrow
文章用了比较典型的英文写作方式：
开头直接切题，开门见山地介绍了张家界的地理位置、面积、景致和特征
按照时间顺序介绍了作者昨天、今天的旅行经历和明天的旅行计划
这种写作方式在一定程度上与西方人注重逻辑思维、情感表达相对直接有关。今后在写英文文章时可借鉴这种写作方式。
结束语和签名：电子邮件的结束语和签名与信件有所不同，一般是左对齐排列。但所用语句与书信相同。
主题(Subject) 框的内容应简明概括信的内容，短的可以是一个单词或短语，长的也可以是个句子，但长度不宜过长。
称呼：电子邮件中的称呼可不必特别正式。可像信函中那样，称“Dear …”，也可像口语中一样，直接称呼“Hi, …”。
