Dear Sam，

　　I'm very glad to hear that you'll travel to China next month.Now I'll tell you something about the greatest places of interest in our country.

　　First，Beijing is the capital city of China.There are so many amazing places you cannot miss.For example，the Tenthousandli Great Wall - one of the seven wonders in the world，the Palace Museum - the imperial palace of the Qing Dynasty，and the Summer Palace - a worldfamous imperial garden.

　　Second，you can go to Xi'an of Shaanxi Province for the Terra Cotta Warriors，the largest unearthed art treasure in the world lying there.And you may also go to Huashan - a dangerously steep mountain，which is not far from Xi'an.

　　At last I hope you'll pay a visit to Hunan.It is famous for Zhangjiajie，a place with beautiful mountains and rivers.By the way，have you ever heard of Mao Zedong？He was one of the greatest leaders in Chinese history.And if you come to Shaoshan - his hometown，you'll know more about him.

　　Oh，I must stop now.I have to get ready for my final exams.

　　Good luck!

　　本文是一封帮助朋友制定旅行计划的电子邮件，文章中清楚地介绍了中国非常值得一去的旅游胜地。文章格式正确，要点齐全，简洁明了，语言多样化。本文符合电子邮件的写作要求，结构完整。

　　1．There are so many amazing places you cannot miss.

　　这是一个复合句，you cannot miss是一个省略引导词的定语从句。

　　2．Hunan is famous for Zhangjiajie，a place with beautiful mountains and rivers.

　　这是一个简单句，a place with beautiful mountains and rivers中的a place是一个由with介词短语修饰的名词，with短语作同位语。

　　下列句子选自短文中，如果能作以下调整，则文笔会更加生动。试朗读并比较：

　　句1：Second，you can go to Xi'an of Shaanxi Province for the Terra Cotta Warriors.

　　句2：Second，you'd better go to Xi'an of Shaanxi province for the Terra Cotta Warriors.

　　句1显得语气太平淡，句2运用had better do ...表示建议，比can更容易让人接受。
