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
