Dear David,

    I'm glad you're coming 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 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!
