Dear John,

  Welcome to China for further study. Knowing that you will go backpacking in our city, I am so happy.

  Firstly, it is cheap and convenient for a student with a map of the city. Secondly, you can be more familiar  with this city soon. ①On the way, you will come across many local people and witness the cultures and customs here, thus improving your Chinese studies. Last weekend, my backpacking brought me a lot of fun. I also enjoyed being together with my friends. ②Most importantly, this experience told me being a backpacker definitely is not an easy thing and we must be well prepared before we set off.

  If you have any trouble, I will offer you timely help.

Yours sincerely ，

Li Hua
