Dear Jeff,
Glad to receive your e-mail. Now let me tell you something about my hometown.
My home town is Dezhou, a beautiful city in the east of China. The population of Dezhou is over 80000. In Dezhou, it is hot in summer and cold in winter. There are storms from time to time in summer.
Our city is clean and beautiful. I think the best time to visit Dezhou is in spring. It might be cold, so don‘t forget to bring a coat and a sweater. What’s more, it‘s a good idea to take a camera with you. You can take photos of beautiful trees and lakes.
In Dezhou, we usually have meals with chopsticks. When we meet for the first time, we don’t hug or kiss each other. We often shake hands and smile at each other.
Welcome to Dezhou! I will take you around our city.
I’m looking forward to meeting you.
