Dear Matthew,
I’m so happy to receive your letter and get to know you are going to visit the Shanghai Expo.
If you want to have a satisfactory trip, it’s necessary to make some preparation ahead of time. First, look through its homepage if you want to know more information about it. Then, you’d better book the ticket in advance after referring to various types of tickets. In addition, it’s hot and humid in June in Shanghai, so you’d better bring some summer clothing such as T-shirts, a cap, an umbrella and so on. What’s more, if time is available, you can also pay a visit to the neighbouring cities which are quite famous for their unique attractions.
In a word, I hope everything will go well and you can have great fun during the Expo trip!
Yours truly,
Li Hua
