Dear Chris,
I'm Li Hua from the school Chinese culture club. I know you love traditional Chinese art, so I'm writing to invite you to our school paper-cutting show.
The show will be in the school hall from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. next Friday. We will display over 50 student paper-cut works, and a local folk artist will show how to make paper-cuts live. You can even try making one yourself if you like.
