I’ve come back home safely. Looking back on my stay in Britain, I felt so happy and satisfied. The beautiful scenery and friendly people impressed me a lot. I also benefited a lot from learning together with local students. More importantly, your help and kindness made it easier for me to have a better understanding of British culture and adapt to the life there. So I’m very grateful to you.
By the way, attached to the letter are two photos taken with you, which I believe will remind you of the happy time we spent together. I wish you to come to China soon.
Looking forward to your reply.
