　　Dear Li Ying，

　　Haven't seen you for a long time. How have you been？ I am missing you all the time. As the weather is splendid now， Jack、 Lucy and I have made a plan to go out to the countryside by bike. Each of us may take food for the picnic， which we will have at the hillside. The countryside must be very lovely， with grass and trees growing flourishingly， flowers full bloom and bright sunshine. We can enjoy the scenery to our hearts' content， at the same time and take some pictures as a memory . It is possible for us to meet at the bus stop 8 a. m. I am sure we will have a good time. Do come and join us.

　　Yours always，
