Answer 1

【答案】Dear David,

I'm writing the letter to apologize that I can't go to America to see you this winter holiday. I promised to visit you and bring you some traditional Chinese things such as paper-cuttings and Beijing Opera Facial Masks. But I'm afraid I can't keep my word. One reason is that my cousin's wedding is planned to be at this Spring Festival. Of course, I can't miss it. The other reason is that there will be an important English speech contest. I will participate in it on behalf of my school. I have to prepare for it.

To express my sincere apology, I will send the paper-cuttings and Beijing Opera Facial Masks to you by airmail. And if you are free, nothing will be better if you can come to China to attend a traditional wedding. I' m sure you won't be disappointed.

I do hope you can forgive me.

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua
