Dear Mrs. Green,
Now I'm back home writing to thank you most warmly for your kindness to me during my two-week visit to Moore High School.
The experience with the “Human and Nature” activity benefited me a lot. Admiring natural beauty gave me lots of energies to protect it. What's more, this activity provided opportunities to communicate with people from other regions. Last but not least, I hope that this trip can remind people of the importance of living with nature in harmony.
Please let me know when you book the flight. I'll be happy to pick you up at the airport then. Looking forward to seeing you soon.
Yours,
Li Hua
