Directions: Write to one of your friends, Wang Lei, to
express your thanks to his warm reception.
Dear Wang Lei,
Thank you very much for those five wonderful days at
your house! Every moment was a delight. I can't remember
ever having enjoyed myself so thoroughly elsewhere.
This is to tell you again how much I enjoyed the
weekend in Hangzhou. Everything was just perfect: the
weather, your company, the beautiful surroundings-
no wonder I'm finding it difficult to get down to reading
this morning! The classroom life seems so dull and prosaic
compared to the days in Hangzhou.
I hope you know how much I appreciate your
hospitality and your thoughtful kindness to me. I count
myself fortunate indeed to have such a generous and
charming friend as you. I hope something will bring you to
Beijing soon so that I can reciprocate your great kindness.
Yours,
Li Ming
