亲爱的简：
如果您7月24日没有什么活动安排，我期望您和弗雷德能同我们一齐在远庄园共度周末，那里已经鲜花遍地，现正在最美丽的时节。
我想，今年我们能让弗雷德钓鱼钓得更快活。鱼儿比过去任何时候都爱上钓鱼。请把钓鱼的服装带来，也别忘记带上打网球的`用具，因为我们还邀约了欧文夫妇，我想，你们是乐意同他们打网球的。
星期五晚上有一班舒适的火车，我已经在火车时刻表上做了红色记号，火车大约在7点半钟把你们送到那里，正是吃晚饭时光。星期日晚上你们能够乘晚车回来。或者，在星期一早晨也有一班快车，就是鲍勃常坐的那一班车。
我们期望没有什么事情会阻碍你们，我们在等待着你们光临……我明白欧文夫妇好盼望再次见到你们。准备乘哪一班火车，请必须告诉我们，好让鲍勃到车站迎接你们。

亲爱的瑛：
自从你离开西安到深圳定居已经快5年了。我相信，你在这座美丽的滨海城市中已经开始享受到生活的乐趣，那里的温暖气候对你的健康一定会大有益处的。
我明年冬天将有两周假期。我和家人一起去桂林。我想咱们都没上过那儿，这次可以去欣赏一下大自然的美景。人们都说桂林山水甲天下，我想看一看它到底有多美。
如果你们全家能和我们一起去桂林旅游该有多好啊!我们可以参加去桂林的包价旅行。我想，咱们将会陶醉在神话般的`漓江美景之中。
请告诉我你是否能去。我衷心希望你的决定是肯定的。
