Help with Room Decoration
Hi Peter,
How’s everything going? I want to decorate my room this weekend. Could you give me a hand?
Could you please buy some flowers on your way here? They’ll make the room look lively. Also, I’d like to make a poster and hang it up on the wall. Could you please bring a pair of scissors and a brush? And I also need glue. Would you mind buying it for me? It would be great help.
I know you have some nice paintings. Could you please choose one and bring it to me? If you have enough time, how about making paper-cuts together? We can put them on the windows.I’m sure it’ll be a lot of fun.
Thanks a lot! Let me know if you can help. I’m looking forward to decorating my room with you!
Best wishes,
Wang Hong
