Dear Allen,

I'm glad to hear that you want to go hiking (徒步旅行). Our school plans to organise (组织) an outgoing to greet World Environment Day this Saturday.

We are going to meet at our school gate at 8:00 am. We are going to set out (出发) to go on a 15?kilometre hike. We are going to get to the top of Mountain Qingyun. It will take us two hours to get there on foot. So we must wear suitable (合适的)shoes, and we have to take enough water and food. We are going to some beautiful places to enjoy the beauty of the nature on the way. After we get to the top of the mountain, we are going to have a speech competition about how to protect the environment. Then we are going to have a picnic there. After lunch, we can do what we like, such as singing, dancing and playing games. We can take some photos to remember the exciting time.

It is an interesting and meaningful (有意义的) activity. I think it will be unforgettable for us. I really hope that you can join us.

Yours,

Li Hua
