dear xiao lin,

i want to give you some information about better body gym since you want to keep fit and have a nice figure. one of its branches is near the king hotel. it’s not far away from your house. the equipment there is the best. it just costs 500 yuan a year for a student. and if you join now, you can get one month free membership. isn’t it good news! it opens from 6 a.m. to midnight every day. whenever you are free during the day or in the evening, you can go there. they have 35 classes for you to choose from, including yoga, aerobics and swimming. these are what you’re interested in. and there are personal trainers to give you some advice and help you improve your shape. i think if you go there from time to time, you will feel good and more energetic. if you want to know more, you may call 5555, 4567.

best wishes.
