Dear Xiao Ming

    Glad to write to you! Last time I told you that I wanted to be a volunteer in the 2010 Shanghai Expo. These days I am attending some training courses and learn that in order to be a good volunteer, we should learn about body language as well as foreign languages. I find it interesting. I’d like to share it with you.

                                                                             

So much for these, I must stop now. Looking forward to your letter.

                                                      Yours,

                                                       Xiao Gang
