Subject：Plan for the trip

Hi Jenny,

How exciting! You and Danny will come to China and see the Silk Road with us! We will travel along the Silk Road together. Wang Mei and I will meet you in Beijing. Our first stop will be Xi’an. How far is it from Beijing to Xi’an? It’s about 1 114 kilometres.

This trip will be very special. The Silk Road is about 6 500 kilometres long! But we don’t have enough time to see it all. We can only see part of it. We’ll learn about the history and culture of China along the way.

I will send you the school’s plan for our trip.

Your friend,

Li Ming
