Dear Prof. James Cook,

I am quite delighted to hear that you have arrived in Beijing and will begin your teaching career in our university. I heard it’s your first visit here, so I’d like to recommend some tourist attractions to you.

The first attraction which I strongly recommend is the Forbidden City. It was once the emperors’ dwelling and imperial palace of both Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty. Another place is the Great Wall, of course. It has long gained fame for its magnificent view and profound cultural and historical connotation.

I wish my recommendation is of value to you.

Yours sincerely,

Li Ming

亲爱的詹姆斯·库克教授，

很高兴听到您已经到达北京并将在我们的大学开始您的教学生涯。我听说您是第一次到这里来，所以我想给您推荐几个旅游景点。

我强烈推荐的第一个景点是紫禁城。它是帝王的故居，同时又是明清两代的皇宫。我想推荐的另一个景点当然是长城。长城因其宏伟的景观和深厚的历史文化内涵而久负盛名。

希望我的推荐对您有价值。

真诚的，

李明
