Hi, Li Hua,

I'm Samantha, but people call me Sam. I'm so glad you're coming to stay with us! I live in a house in London with my parents and two brothers, Jerome and Michael. Jerome likes art and Michael likes Chinese. They both like making friends.

Music and fashion are two of my biggest interests. Do you know The Vaccines? It's my favourite London band(乐队). I'll take you to enjoy their wonderful performance(表演). And of course sports — I'm captain(队长) of my school football team, but better than that — I'm an "Olympic Games Maker" to help with the Olympic Games.

I can't wait to meet you and show you around London!

Sam
