Dear Richard,
I'm glad to know everything in your new school life goes well. I’m writing to tell you something about my plans for the coming holidays.
With the National Holiday coming, my family and I are planning to go to Beijing. I've heard that the Great Wall is one of seven wonders in the world, and I can't wait to go. The next place we are planning to visit is the Palace Museum, which is the largest ancient palace in the world. We plan to fly to Beijing, and we are leaving on next Tuesday and arriving in about 4 hours. Upon arriving, we are planning to taste roast duck. After unpacking our luggage in the hotel, we will visit Wangfujing, a very famous shopping mall.
I think it's time to stop now. I’ll write again and send you photos. Try to share your travel details as much as possible and hope you enjoy your trip.
Your friend
