From:S.T.Zhang
Dear Ace Travel,
My family and I want to take a trip this summer
somewhere in eastern China.
I hope you can provide me with some information
about the kinds of vacations that your firm can offer.
We would like to travel to an exciting place
and we don't mind how far we have to go.
It has to be a place where we can do lots of
outdoor activities;
we especially love hiking and swimming,
but any kind of outdoor activity is fine.
We also need to stay in an inexpensive hotel or apartment.
It would be nice if we could get a room
with a kitchen so we could save money by cooking our own meals.
The room needs to be big enough for three people
Also,we'd like to stay at a place with a big
pool or somewhere near the ocean.
Could you please give me some suggestions for vacation spots?
Also,please let us know if it's best to travel by plane,train or bus.
We'd like to be away for about three weeks.
Thank you very much!
S.T.Zhang
