Dear Lin Ping,
How are you getting on? Thanks for telling me something about your school life. I’m glad you’re doing well in your English study.
As you know, I began to learn Chinese 2 years ago. Now let me tell you something about my Chinese study. Though I can read and write a little Chinese, I’m still weak in listening and my spoken Chinese isn’t improving. I find it hard to talk with the people around in Chinese. Could you give me some advice? How I wish I could talk to you in Chinese one day!
Hope to hear from you soon.
Yours,
Sally
