I’ve looked at several possible places where we can go on holiday and checked Mum’s schedule. We think we should go to Shandong Province because none of us have ever been there before. Possible exampleIf we go, we’ll have an active holiday climbing Mount Tai. Mum can explore famous lakes and springs in Ji’nan. We can also visit Qufu, where Confucius was buried. I think you and Mum would like this.We can travel in May, between the 1st and the 7th. The trip lasts 4 days and 3 nights. It costs only 1,300 yuan per person, so Mum will be pleased with that.I think this trip sounds very exciting and it sounds just like what you and Mum want. Let me know if I should book it.
Bye for now.
Love
