Dear Becky

Do you know Nanguo Shuxiang Festival and book fair? It was held on August 15th，I took part in it and had a good time there. Let me tell you something about it.

When I got there, I found the hall very large and there were many different kinds of books there. And I like the story books best. The most exciting thing is that I saw many famous people there, including Lin Zhiying, and Zhong Nanshan. I bought a lot of school things. I also took photos with cartoon characters and joined in some local culture activities.

In my opinion, we should hold Nanguo Shuxiang Festival and book fair every year. It is well worth doing. Reading is very important. Reading makes a full man!

Yours,

Li hua
