Hi, David,

Guess what! I'm writing to you from Beijing! It's my first summer holiday abroad, and here I am, in China! I'm going to learn Chinese for two weeks at a summer camp. Then my parents are going to join me here. We're going on a tour around the country. It's going to be exciting! We are going to visit the Great Wall and the Palace Museum in Beijing. Then we're going to be in Xi'an from July 24th to 27th. My dad says he's going to take lots of photos of the Terracotta Warriors(兵马俑). After that, we are going to Jiuzhaigou. It's famous for its fantastic scenery with beautiful mountains and clear lakes. Our last stop on the trip is Sanya. My mum's going to spend a lot of time on the beach, but I'm going to swim in the sea every day.

OK, I have to go. I am looking forward to having a great holiday this year!

Tim
