【答案】

Dear Thomas

It has been some time since we contacted each other last time. How is everything going with you? Recently I have been excited to find everything fresh and unfamiliar here. To my delight,I have made some progress in my study and living with host family helps me learn more about the new culture.

However, as it is the first time that I have come to study in the USA, sometimes I find myself lonely and homsick 。 what’s more, I’m not accustomed to the teaching methods which are quite different from those in China. I also feel evry anxious about the difficulties that I met when communicating with local students.

Therefore, I’d like you to give me some advice on how to adapt myself to the new environment so as to increase my learning efficiency,and how to make friends with the locals to improve my spoken English.

Best wishes!

Yours

Li Hua
