Dear Lisa,

I am glad to know that you plan to go hiking with your friends in West Hill in my hometown next month. And you will stay in the hill for two days. So I’d like to tell you something about it.

West Hill is one of the most famous hills in my hometown. It is just 20 minutes from my village by bus. I go to West Hill once a month. Spring is a good season to hike in West Hill. It is not cold or hot. The hill is beautiful and you can see trees, birds and waterfalls(瀑布). The biggest waterfall in the mountain is as high as 110 metres.

I can also be your guide. If you want me to help you, write to me.

Yours,

Lucy
