　　ter asking to wait for you at the airport and tell him how to recognize you. Your letter should be no less than 100 words. You don?t need to write the address. Don?t sign your own name at the end of the letter, use Alice instead.

　　Dear John,

　　I am eagerly looking forward to your visit to our city. After all these years of writing to each other, I can not wait to see you. However, I regret to inform you that I will not be able to meet you at the airport on time.

　　The reason is that your flight will arrive early in the morning, and the earliest I can reach the airport will be about an hour after you land. Will you please wait for me in the arrival lounge? You can have breakfast while you wait.

　　By the way, as we have never met I must tell you home to identify me: I am of 165cm tall and have a long hair. In addition, I will wear a white skirt and carry a China Daily at hand.

　　Hope we can meet soon.

　　Sincerely yours,

　　Alice

　　亲爱的约翰：

　　我非常期待着你来参观我们的城市。这么多年来我们一直通信，我早就想见到你了。但是很抱歉我不能按时到机场接你。

　　因为你的飞机是一大早就到达机场，而我最早也要1小时后才能到。你能不能在旅客休息室等我，你可以利用这段时间吃早饭。

　　随便说一句，因为我们没过面，我得告诉你怎么找我：我大概1.65米，长发。另外我会穿一件白色的裙子，手上拿一份中国日报。

　　希望早点见到你。

　　你真挚的：艾丽丝
