If it doesn't rain, we'll also go camping at the foot of the Great Wall. We'll stay at the Beijing Holiday Village . During these days, we'll have parties. At the parties, the students will sing, dance and play games together. Would you please write back to tell me if（是否）you will come? We need to buy the train tickets ahead of time（提前）.
