写作提优练
范文：
Dear Steven,
How are you doing? I want to share a wonderful study trip with you. Last Saturday, our school took us to the Provincial Museum. It was a great chance to learn about the past.
At the museum, we first listened to a lecture by an archaeologist. He told us stories about ancient Chinese relics. Then we walked around to look at many interesting things like clay horses from the Han Dynasty and delicate porcelain from the Song Dynasty. I took some notes about their history and uses.
I really learned a lot from this trip. I knew more about our ancient culture and admired the great craftsmanship of people long ago. Now I love our long history even more. Have you ever had a study trip like this? Please tell me about it!
Yours,
Li Bin
