Dear Henry,
An art exhibition will be held in our school next week. I’m writing to invite you to come to the exhibition.
The exhibition will start on Monday morning next week, which will last until next Friday. You will have a good chance to enjoy the wonderful works created by the teachers and students in our school hall, such as paintings, paper cuts, flower arrangements and so on. What’s more, a famous artist will be invited to our school and show his painting skills on the spot. It is a good chance for you to learn about Chinese culture. I’m sure you will benefit a lot from it.
I would be very grateful if you could come to attend the exhibition.
Looking forward to your coming.
Yours,
Li Hua
