Dear David,

    I'm glad you're going to Beijing to learn Chinese. Every year，there are {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(million)of foreigners coming to China to learn Chinese. China is one of the greatest {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(country)in the world and Chinese is becoming more and more {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(use).Many foreigners are learning {#blank#}4{#/blank#}now. But it may be more difficult for foreigners to learn Chinese，because it's different {#blank#}5{#/blank#}English. As a language，Chinese is getting as {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(important)as English. So I think it's also a new challenge(挑战)for you. If you want to learn it {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(good), you should study harder {#blank#}8{#/blank#}before. Remember to listen to the radio to practise your listening. It's a good idea to catch every chance(机会)to talk in Chinese. It's important {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(do)some reading and writing. If you have any {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(question)，please ask me. I'm sure you'll make it.

    Hope to see you soon in Beijing！

Yours,

Li Ping

    What's your dream job? A pianist, a violinist{#blank#}1{#/blank#}a computer programmer? As for me, I want to be an English tour guide when I grow up. Do you know{#blank#}2{#/blank#}? First of all, I'm an outgoing girl and I like doing something exciting. Maybe being a tour guide is the best{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(choose). Secondly, I like making{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(friend) with people from all over the world. I really like to go to their countries{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(learn) about their culture. What's more, I like singing English songs. I believe I will be popular{#blank#}6{#/blank#} foreign tourists.

    However, my parents{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (agree) with me. They think traveling around is hard work. They want me to be a teacher like my aunt. "It's an excellent job for a girl and you can have two long{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(vacation). If you become a tour guide, you'll spend much time away from home. I'll worry about your,{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (safe) every day," says my mom. Should I be{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(allow) to make my own decision? Could you give me some advice?
