Dear Wang,
Great to hear you are coming to the USA! I do hope you can stop by and visit us in the Big Apple—a popular name for New York City. There are so many things to see and do here. It would take a lifetime to list them all: Chinatown, Wall Street, Central Park, to name only a few. But knowing you as I do, I'd suggest walking through Midtown Manhattan. It is very popular in the USA and just can't be missed!
People often say that no visit to New York City is complete without a trip to Broadway! Broadway with its cafés, street performers(表演者) and colorful signs really represents New York's loud spirit! As Broadway is the heart of the American theater industry, it's at night that it truly comes alive. Broadway is well - known for its big theaters. They show Shakespeare, modern plays, dance shows or musicals—take your pick! With your love of singing and interest in drama(戏剧), I'd recommend(推荐) a musical. It's a great and moving experience that I'm sure you would love—a bit like Peking opera! Many musicals are based on classic stories like Les Miserables or Peter Pan, and they might even inspire(激发) you to read the books, too!
My big news is that I am going to China on vacation this winter. I am looking for places of interest in China. Can you recommend some to me?
See you soon!
Leslie
