Dear Mr. Cook,
I am writing this letter to remend you one of the tourist attractions in my city—The Great Wall. The detailed reasons for my remendation are listed as the following.
At the top of the list, the Great Wall is one of the oldest historic interests in China. In addition, there are a large number of tourists in China and abroad touring the Great Wall and appreciating its grandness, and therefore it is not too much to say that unless a foreigner visit the Great Wall, it equals to say that he has never been to China .
Finally, I sincerely hope that you will have a good time in China. Looking forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming

尊敬的库克先生，
我写这份信的目的．是向你推荐我们当地的旅游景点——长城。我推荐的具体原因如下。
首先，长城是中国最古来的历史遗迹之一。此外，每年有大量中外游客到长城来旅游并欣赏它的壮美；因此毫不夸张的说如果一个外国人没有去过长城，相当于说他没有来过中国。
最后，我真诚地希望您能在中国度过美好的时光。期望您的来信。
您真诚的，
李明
Gulangyu is a small island of Xiamen.It’s like a garden on the water.Cars and buses are not allowed to drive there,which makes the island so quiet that music played on the piano and violin can be heard.
Here the sky and the sea clearly meet on the horizon.When standing at the top of the Sunshine Rock,you can see much of the landscape of Xiamen,and when standing at its foot,you can gaze at the beautiful garden that surrounds it.
Gulangyu produces bananas,coconuts,sugar cane and so on.The people here,warm,simple and hardworking,are making every effort to make the island more beautiful and they hope to welcome more visitors in the future.
Such is Gulangyu,a beautiful and inviting island,where a warm welcome awaits.
To be honest, i rarely go to visit these places before.
The main reason is that i do really have a great concern about the cleanliness of playground.
We are not sure about if the water is recycled or it is being replaced everyday.
Day in day out, many people visit there and they may not take proper way to clean their body before moving into the pool. Some people may even pee in the pool. I don't think there is a good indicator of the cleanliness of the water. For this concern, I never go there.
