Thanks for Liu＇s Hospitality

Aug. 18, 1989

Dear Liu Dong,

I＇m back at school now. I wish to express my thanks to you for the wonderful vacation I spent with you and your family. During the vacation you taught me how to swim, boat and fish. I really appreciate① your taking time off work to take② me around and show me so many places.

Your mother is such a terrific③ cook! I think I must have gained 10 pounds just in the week I spent with you. Surely I＇ve spent a happy vacation, which will be remembered for long.

I hope you will be able to visit our school sometime. Thank you again. Let＇s keep in touch.

Love,

Li Ming
