Dear Derek,
I am pleased to receive your letter.I have never been to USA before.I hope I can go to the USA in this summer holiday.In your letter,you wanted me to give two suggestions for your Dad's birthday present,now I will start to suggest.
The first product I suggest to you is a photo album.It has a very beautiful and special design.Its cover is made by wood and the pages are white.My friend bought on at Taobao,it costed,it costed $134.He said it was cheap and durable.The most important thing is you can write down your feeling below the photos. Isn't this a good choice for your Dad?
Another choice is a pair of sports shoes.Your Dad likes doing outdoor activities.These shoes are perfectly fit for him.I bought one last week on TaoBao.It is from Nike.Its design is very cool.One time,I wore this pair of shoes to shop.A kid screamed:"Mum,you see my shoes?It's old and dusty.I want that pair of shoes!You see,the design is the coolest shoes I have never seen."I felt very proud of my shoes.Although is costs 700,it is worth the money.
It is hard to choose which one is better.Sports shoes is more durable than the photo album because they are waterproof.They are both worth the money.The photo album is a good choice but I'm just afraid that your Dad may think it is quite normal.If I were you,I would buy the sports shoes because your Dad is a cool and stylish person,maybe he will like this more.These are just my preference.After all,you are the one who needs to buy present for your Dad.
After you make your decission,please write to me.By the way,help me to say Happy Birthday to your Dad.Bye for now!
Love,
Kenneth
