根据短文内容,回答问题。
Dear Mr Wang,
Great to hear you are coming to the US! 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 US 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 colourful signs really represents New York's loud spirit! As Broadway is the heart of the American theatre industry, it's at night when it truly comes alive. Broadway is well-known for its big theatres. Modern plays, dance shows or musicals are shown—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 Beijing Opera! Many musicals are based on classic stories like Les Misérables 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

I visited the Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River last week. _______

答案： One possible version:
I visited the Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River last week. It's a natural wonder between Shanxi Province and Shaanxi Province. It's about 50 metres high and 30 metres wide. It's the second largest waterfall in China and the largest yellow waterfall in the world.
When I arrived, it was raining. About an hour later, the rain stopped and the clouds cleared. A rainbow appeared over the waterfall. How beautiful it was when I looked at the sight!
Don't you see the Yellow River come from the sky, rush into the sea and never come back? I think the poem is the most beautiful words to describe the sight of the Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River.
