Dear Xiao Li，
My time here in China is going well. I love my new school and classmates. Over the October holiday, my parents and I are planning to go to Xi’an to see the Terracotta Army. I’ve heard that it is an amazing sight, and I can’t wait to go. To me, the story of the Terracotta Army is almost unbelievable. It’s amazing that there are more than 8,000 statues, and no one in modern times knew about them until the 1970s.

Dear Richard,
Thank you for contacting me about your travel plan, which is amazing. I am writing to tell you something about my plans for the coming holidays.
With the National Day coming, I am going to travel to Beijing with my family. We will spend 6 days there, from Oct. 1st to Oct. 6th . It’s because of its rich cultural heritage as well as its beautiful scenery that we choose to travel there. I'm planning to visit the Great Wall there because it’s a great wonder created by ancient Chinese people. Apart from that, we also have planed several other destinations like the Imperial Palace and the Summer Palace. We’re taking the train, leaving the day before the October holiday begins. I am sure we will have a wonderful holiday!
In my opinion, travel can not only enrich my knowledge, but also broaden my horizons. Look forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Xiao Li
