My Questions

Dear Wang Hong,

How are you doing?

You might not believe it, but I’m going to your school as one of five exchange students next term. And I’m so excited! However, I’m worried about communicating with the teachers and students. As you know, I can speak only a little Chinese. What should I do? Besides, I want to learn to play pin-pong. Can you find a good player to help me? If you can, tell me something about him or her.

Looking forward to your reply

Bets wishes!

Yours,

Kevin
