Dear Ace Travel,
My family and I want to take a trip this summer anywhere in eastern China. I hope you can provide myself with some information about the kind of vacations that your firm can offer. We would like to travel to an excited place and it has to be in where we can do lots of outdoor activities. We especial love hiking and swimming. We also need stay in an inexpensive hotel and apartment. It would be nice if we could get a room with a kitchen to cook our own meals. The room had better be big enough for three people. Could you please make me some suggestions? We would be away for about three weeks.
William Brown
