十二、书面表达
31.【答案】 Dear Sir or Madame,
    I'm very glad to be invited to the English summer camp.
    I prefer to go in July (from July 16 to July 22) because I'll have to prepare myself for the new school term in August. It seems that all the activities you have offered are very attractive as well as meaningful. But I'd like to attend the English lectures, from which I can get more information on British and American cultures. With the coming of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games, more and more foreigners are eager to know more about China. So I hope to teach foreigners Chinese and spread Chinese culture.
    It's been a dream for me to visit Beijing. Could you organize a tour around the city during the camp?
    Thank you very much.
Yours truly,
Li Hua
