PERU is a country on the Pacific coast of South America with three main areas: narrow, dry, flat land running along the coast, the Andes Mountains, and the Amazon rainforest.
秘鲁是位于南美洲太平洋沿岸的一个国家，由三个主要地区构成：狭窄的、干燥的、平坦的沿海地区，安第斯山脉和亚马孙热带雨林。

In the 1400s and 1500s, Peru was the centre of the powerful ancient Inca Empire. The Inca emperor lived in the now-famous site Machu Picchu. Spain took control of Peru in the 16th century and ruled until 1821. It is for this reason that Spanish is the main official language of Peru.
在15至16世纪期间，秘鲁曾是强大的古印加帝国的中心。印加帝王就住在现闻名于世的马丘比丘。西班牙在16世纪开始掌控秘鲁，并一直统治到1821年。正因为如此，西班牙语才是秘鲁的主要官方语言。

畅游秘鲁

Amazon Rainforest Tour
亚马孙热带雨林之旅

You can then spend three days exploring the rainforest with a local guide and enjoying the plants and animals unique to the rainforest.

Machu Picchu Tour

This four-day walking tour will take you on amazing paths through the Andes Mountains on the way to the city of Machu Picchu. After reaching your destination, you will have a day to explore and be amazed by this ancient city. Especially amazing is the Incas' dry stone method of building. Inca builders cut stones to exact sizes so that nothing was needed to hold walls together other than the perfect fit of the stones.

Dear Xiao Li,
亲爱的小李：

My time here in China is going well. I love my new school and classmates. Over the October holiday, my parents and I are planning to go to Xi'an to see the Terracotta Army. I've heard that it is an amazing sight, and I can't wait to go. To me, the story of the Terracotta Army is almost unbelievable. It's amazing that there are more than 8,000 statues, and no one in modern times knew about them until the 1970s.
我在中国一切都好。我喜欢我的新学校和新同学。十一放假期间，我和父母打算去西安参观兵马俑。我听说兵马俑是一个令人惊叹的景点，我已经迫不及待了。对我来说，兵马俑的故事简直令人难以置信。那里有8000多座俑像，直到20世纪70年代才为人所知，想想这一切，真是非常神奇。

We're also planning to visit several other places in Xi'an. My dad and I are both looking forward to going to the Shaanxi History Museum, because my dad loves history and I have heard that this museum is known as a “Chinese treasure house”! We're also going to the Xi'an City Wall and a few other famous sights.
我们还计划去游览西安的其他景点。爸爸和我都期待着参观陕西历史博物馆，因为我爸爸热爱历史，而我听说这家博物馆被誉为“中国宝库”！我们还打算游览西安古城墙和其他一些著名的景点。

We're taking the train, leaving the day before the October holiday begins. We're arriving at 9: 30 a.m. and will start sightseeing right away, so I hope we sleep well on the train!
我们打算坐火车，在十一假期开始的前一天出发。上午9：30到达到西安之后，我们马上开始观光，但愿我们能在火车上睡个好觉！

I guess that's all for now! I'll write again soon and send photos! Do you have any plans for the coming holiday? Hope to hear from you soon.
我想今天就写到这里吧！我很快会再给你写信和发照片的！你对即将到来的假期有什么安排吗？希望收到你的来信。

Your friend,
