Dear Bill, I was very glad to receive your letter of July 13. Thank you for your congratulations.

I was so excited that I jumped up when hearing that Beijing won the bid for the 2008 Olympic Games. Immediately I called Wei Guo and Li Hong to my house. After discussion we decided to put up a wall newspaper for our class. We hurried to our classroom and began to work. Wei Guo wrote a poem. Li Hong copied some news from the newspapers. I drew an Olympic flag. The next Monday, our classmates and teachers were all surprised and overjoyed when they saw the wall newspaper. I hope you can come to China to watch the Olympic Games in 2008. Then I'll be very happy to be your guide.

Yours Sincerely, Zhang Hua

亲爱的比尔： 很高兴收到你7月13日的来信。谢谢你的祝贺。

当得知北京2008 奥运申办成功时，我兴奋得跳了起来。我立即把魏国和李红叫到我家。经过讨论，我们决定为班级出一份墙报。我们赶紧跑到教室开始工作。 魏国写诗，李红从报上抄新闻，我画奥运会旗。星期一，同学和老师看到墙报时，既吃惊又兴奋。我希望你能在2008年来中国看奥运会。那时 我会很高兴做你的向导。

你真挚的朋友张华

That night I watched TV so as to get the result. When I heard that Beijing won the bid for the 2008 Olympic Games, I was overjoyed. Wei Guo and Li Hong came to my house. We discussed and decided to put up a wall newspaper for our class. Then we ran to the classroom and began to work. Wei Guo wrote a poem, Li Hong copied the news from newspaper and I drew an Olympic flag. The next Monday, when our classmates and teachers saw the wall newspaper, they were all surprised and excited. How happy I was at that time! I hope you can come to China and watch the 2008 Olympic Games. I am sure you will have a good time then.
