Inviting a Friend to Make a Tour Round Hangzhou
April 20, 1999
Dear Peter,
I＇m afraid you must think I＇ve forgotten you, for I＇ve not written you for such a long time. It＇s simply because I＇m busily engaged①lately. Now the spring vacation is drawing near, I＇ll have a three days＇ holiday. I＇m planning a trip to Hangzhou. Won＇t you join me?
It＇ll be good to get out of the city at this season of the year for even a short change. The trip will give us a chance to forget our studies for the time being②. We＇ll be able to listen to the song of the birds and the music of the running brooks. We can do some climbing too. It will give us the most beautiful exercise in the open air. We＇ll rest under the cool shad of the trees and refresh ourselves with the purest and sweetest water from the springs. How we＇ll enjoy the cool breeze and the broad view from the top!
I＇ll be happy if you can go with me.
Yours,
Paul
【詞語解釋】

【寫法指要】
約會信（letters of appointment）是現代人在日常生活中常用的書信文體。約會有多種多樣：與他人預約辦公、與商家約見談生意、和情人相見、與朋友相約敘舊等。因此，這種信可分為兩類：公事約會和私人約會。這里選的是一封同學和朋友的私人約會信（appointment for private affairs）。既然是朋友之間的信件，就可以隨意寫來。所以，它是非正式書信，從信的格式到信文的遣詞造句都很隨便。對約會信的回信可根據具體情況可分為接受、有條件接受和拒絕接受三種。
