Hi Sam,
I’ve been here in Beijing for two days and I’m having a great time! Yesterday we went to the Great Wall and today we visited the Palace Museum. We met some young people from the local university. They helped us take a lot of pictures and told us some interesting facts about the museum. They are really warm-hearted! Tomorrow we are going to take a walk in the Summer Palace and have a taste of the famous Beijing duck. I can’t wait!
Bye for now. Take care!

写作指导
写作要领,技法指导
首先,我们要搞清楚书写明信片的目的,这样有利于写出条理清晰的明信片。
一般来说,明信片的书写有以下几个目的:
1.告知自己旅游的状况。
2.告知别人自己的新住址。
3.寄送节日祝福。
4.传达想念。
5.询问对方近况。
6.告知一些必要信息。
在书写明信片之前,我们要确定这张明信片的主要目的是什么,确定以后,就可以开始写了。由于明信片并不是非常正式的文字载体,我们在书写时可以随意一些,但还是要注意以下几点:
1.开头和结尾可以按照自己喜好随意称呼。
2.正文按照自己书写的明确目的力求言简意赅。
3.明信片书写空间有限,不要一下子写上太多信息。
4.尽量使用短句型。
5.对于明信片上的关键信息,可以用大写或者下划线突出显示。
常用表达
1.I haven’t heard from you for a long time.
2.Well,here we are in...
3.I’ve been in...for...
4.At the moment,I’m at...
5.It has been a fantastic holiday...
6.I’m going to...
7.We will be back in...
8.Bye for now.
9.See you soon.
10.Take care.
(9)I have been going to places...
(10)It is probable the best time for travel.
(11) It's going to be a lot of fun!

(13)In a word, we had a great time during the vacation and we learned a lot from this tour.
