dear henry,

　　i’m glad to receive your letter. it’s a pleasure for me to tell you my plan of this coming summer vacation after the college entrance examination.

　　first of all, a good rest is needed because i do feel tired after the hard work of all these years. of course, i’ll do some reading for fun, and for knowledge as well. i’ll spend some time staying with my parents, chatting with them and doing some housework. they’ve done so much for me, you know. if possible, i’ll take part in some social activities so that i can know more about the society.

　　best wishes!

　　li hua
