Dear Kitty,
Thank you for your email. Now I am writing to tell you about my travel plan. I have decided to make a trip to Californiaduring the summer vacation.
I have learned some information aboutCalifornia. First of all, it is the third largest state inAmericaand has the largest population. Besides, it has a long history. It is said that Native Americans were living inCaliforniaat least 15,000 years ago. And there are more Native Americans living inCaliforniathan in any other state. More importantly, it is famous for its cultural diversity, with people coming from different parts of the world. Last but not least, it has the famousGolden GateBridge.
So I believe it is a place well worth seeing. I hope to experience its rich and unique culture by myself.
Yours,
Li Hua
