参考答案
Dear Jim,
I’m sorry to inform you that I can’t go out with you this weekend. I’ve just been told that I have to go and visit my sick grandfather in the countryside, who was suddenly admitted to the hospital. I hope the change won’t cause you too much trouble.
How about going out next Saturday morning If it’s convenient for you, let’s meet at the school gate at 9: 00. Please let me know what time suits you best. I should be available anytime next weekend.
In addition, next Saturday, there will be a flower show in Beihai Park. Then we can go to see the flowers together.
I am looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
