亲爱的小李:
我在中国一切都好。我喜欢我的新学校和新同学。十月放假期间,我和父母打算去西安参观兵马俑。我听说兵马俑是一个令人惊叹的景点,我已经迫不及待想去了。对我来说,兵马俑的故事简直令人难以置信。那里有8000多座俑像,直到20世纪70年代才为现代人所知,这真是非常神奇。
Dear Xiao Li,
My time here in China is going well. I love my new school and classmates. Over the October holiday, my parents and I are planning to go to Xi’an to see the Terracotta Army. I’ve heard that it is an amazing sight, and I can’t wait to go. To me, the story of the Terracotta Army is almost unbelievable. It’s amazing that there are more than 8,000 statues, and no one in modern times knew about them until the 1970s.

我们还计划游览西安的其他景点。爸爸和我都期待着参观陕西历史博物馆,因为我爸爸热爱历史,而且我听说这家博物馆被誉为“华夏宝库”!我们还打算游览西安城墙和其他一些著名景点。
We’re also planning to visit several other places in Xi’an. My dad and I are both looking forward to going to the Shaanxi History Museum, because my dad loves history and I have heard that this museum is known as a “Chinese treasure house”! We’re also going to the Xi’an City Wall and a few other famous sights.

We’re taking the train, leaving the day before the October holiday begins. We’re arriving at 9:30 a.m. and will start sightseeing right away, so I hope we sleep well on the train!
I guess that’s all for now! I’ll write again soon and send photos! Do you have any plans for the coming holiday? Hope to hear from you soon.
Your friend,
Richard
