bear bill,

　　very glad to receive your letter of july 13. thank you for your congratulations. i was very excited when i heard that beijing won the bid for the 2008 olympic games. immediately i called wei guo and li hong to my house. after a brief discussion we decided to put up a wall newspaper for our class. we hurried to our classroom and began to work. wei guo wrote a poem. li hong copied some news from the newspapers. i drew an olympic flag. the next monday, our classmates were both surprised and overjoyed when they saw the wall newspaper.

　　i hope you can come to china to watch the olympic games in 2008. then i＇ll be very happyto be your guide.
