Dear Henry,
I’m Li Hua, the leader of the paper-cutting club in our school. Last time you told me you looked forward to learning more about traditional Chinese culture. Now I’m glad to tell you a Chinese paper-cutting exhibition will be held by our school. I sincerely hope you can set aside some time for the art feast.
The exhibition, the theme of which is “beauty of China”, will take place in the school hall from 2 to 5 on the afternoon of June 21. Not only will our club’s works be displayed, but we also have a valuable set of paper-cutting created by a famous artist of this field. Besides, there will be a lot of useful and interesting activities, from which you can have a clearer picture of Chinese culture.
I would appreciate it if you accept my invitation. I’m sure it can leave a wonderful impression on you! I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
Thank you！
