Homework Writing some advice for visiting your city.

假如你 (Lingling) 的英国笔友 (pen pal)Jim 要来中国参观, 向 你询问有关中国的天气情况以及来中国的最好时节等, 请你给 你的笔友写一封电子邮件, 介绍一下中国的气候特点。 (70 个词 左右 )

【写作模板】

【参考范文】 Dear Jim, I’m very glad that you’ll come to visit China. You asked me about the weather in China. There are four seasons—spring, summer, autumn and winter. Summer is the hottest season of the year. It’s often rainy. Compared to summer, winter is the coldest. Sometimes it snows, you can come at this time of year. But it depends on your interest. I think the best time to visit China is in spring or autumn because the weather is neither too

hot nor too cold. It’s very pleasant to visit many places of interest in China, such as the Great Wall, the West Lake, Mount Tai and so on. I hope you can come soon. Yours sincerely, Lingling
