3．greater[根据固定句型the more...，the more...“越……越……”可知，此处用形容词比较级。]

Dear Mr.Smith，
Yours，
Li Hua 【参考范文】
Dear__Mr.Smith，
I take great pleasure in recommending to you the East Lake for the school trip.
Located to the south of our school，the lake attracts people not only with the sight of its clear water，but also by the beautiful view of the mountainous area that surrounds it.Furthermore，there is a large picnic area by the lake.I have been there several times and I think one activity we can’t miss is canoeing in the lake，which is extremely exciting.Besides，we can go to the concert by the lake and experience different types of music.If time permits，we can also climb the mountains，enjoying the beautiful scenery.
I hope you can take my advice into consideration.
Yours，
Li__Hua
