【答案】Dear Jonah,

I'm glad you are interested in Xi’an. Now I'd like to tell you something about our visit to Xi'an last weekend.

We set off at 7:00 a.m. on Saturday. After arriving in Xi'an, we went to visit the Terracotta Warriors, where we saw the wisdom of ancient Chinese people. The following day we went out to watch some shadow plays, an ancient form of Chinese storytelling. After that, we tasted some delicious local foods. I feel that I have learned a lot from the relaxing and significant experience.

Looking forward to your visiting Xi'an, I would be willing to show you around.

Yours,

Li Hua
