As for the best places to visit, the first two that into my mind are Qufu, Confucius birthplace, and Weishan Lake, largest lake in North China.If you need further about me, here is for my email address: sdjnlihua.Thank you for your consideration.Yours sincerely，Li Huainterest 意为“兴趣；爱好”，常跟in搭配，表示“对的兴趣”。position和offer是动宾关系，用过去分词作后置定语。sothat引导结果状语从句，I在从句中作主语，不可缺少。without为介词，后面应接名词difficulty。此句为现在完成时，表示“从前”应用before。也可将ago删除。上下文为顺承关系，而非转折关系。that引导定语从句， that代替的是先行词the first two，谓语动词应用复数形式come。largest为形容词最高级，指最大的湖，前面应用定冠词the。information为不可数名词，无复数形式。根据句意“这是我的邮箱地址”可知，for为多余成分。
