Answer 1

【答案】I’m Li Hua,

On behalf of the students, I’d like to express our heartfelt gratitude for receiving your letter to encourage us to take part in the upcoming Chinese High Kao.

To express my sincere thanks, I’m writing to make some response to you about our arrangements for the coming holiday. Firstly, it is scheduled to study hard continuously to start our holiday so that we can make better preparations and promote our study in advance. Moreover, I would like to do a lot of specific activities throughout the day, because the enough and proper physical exercises can help us build our body and make us keep health. Lastly, our other students will arrange them to play basketball, if possible some will go for a football match by themselves. If possible, they hope to go and travel for a while and take other activities such as visiting museums, which will offer us more opportunities for cultural and historical knowledge.

Thanks again for your kind letter. It would be highly appreciated if you could response about your cultural knowledge as early as possible at your convenience. Looking forward to your early reply.
