Sample

Dear Mum and Dad, I am writing this letter in a hotel of Beijing.

I arrived in Beijing yesterday by plane. We are staying in a hotel near the Tian’an Men Square, so we can see the ceremony of raising the national flag tomorrow morning.  

Yesterday afternoon, we visited the Great Wall. It is a great wonder.  I couldn't help singing when I reached the top of the Great Wall. I was given a prize for I was the first to climb to the top. It's really amazing to overlook the Beijing City from the Wall. Tomorrow we shall visit the Summer Palace.Best wishes !Amy
