Unit 5　 Travelling abroad

假設(shè)你是李華,你打算利用假期出國旅游。請你就此給你的美國筆友Michael寫一封信,談?wù)撘幌履愠鰢糜蔚脑?并邀請Michael有時間來中國。

要點如下:

1.出國旅游很有意義;

2.開闊眼界,了解國外的風(fēng)俗和歷史;

3.和來自不同文化背景的人交朋友、學(xué)習(xí)外語;

4.放松身心,欣賞美景。

Dear Michael,

How are you?

These days, I am planning to travel abroad during the vacation. I think travelling abroad is very meaningful. First, travelling abroad can broaden my horizons. When I visit a foreign country, I can learn more about the customs and history of the country. At the same time, I can make lots of friends. Besides, communicating with the local people will give me the chance to learn a foreign language. The most important thing is that I can relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Michael, please come to China when you are free. I do hope you can witness the great changes in China.

Best wishes!

Yours truly,

Li Hua
