Dear Sir,
I’m writing to offer some advices on our winter travel. In my opinion, a one-week trip to a countryside can’t be good. The fresh air and various activities will guarantee us a healthy life here.
We may go by bike to enjoy the landscape. During the trip, we can arrange some activities, from what we will benefit a lot, such as playing snowballs, building a snowman, going skating and climb a mountain. We can even invite the local students join us, not only to improve their English but also to deepen their understanding of the countryside. I am confident to establish friendship and harvest happy from this trip.
I would appreciate it that if you could take my plan into consideration.

A psychologist walked around a room while teaching stress management to the audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they’d be asked the “half empty or half full” question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired. “How heavy is this glass of water?”
Different answers are called out from the audience.
She replied, “The absolute weight doesn’t matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it’s not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I’ll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn’t change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.”
She continued. “The stresses and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happen. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt you. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed and be incapable（无能力的）of doing anything.”
It’s important to remember to let go of your stresses. As early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don’t carry them through the evening and into the night.
Remember to put the glass down!”
