Dear Mary:
I'm so happy that you are going to travel to Beijing. I want to tell you something more about the weather here. Beijing is a modern city but with a long history. The weather is very different in each season. In spring, it is warm to go on a picnic. It's hot and humid in summer, and it often rains.We like to go swimming in summer. It's dry and cool in autumn. You can enjoy the red leaves here. They are very beautiful. In winter, it's cold and snowy and sometimes there is strong wind. So we have to wear more to keep warm. The most exciting thing for me is making a snowman in winter. I am looking forward to seeing you soon.
Yours,
Li Lan
