Dear Mary,
I am very glad that you will come to Beijing to learn Chinese. Chinese is very useful, and many foreigners are learning it now. It's difficult for you because it is quite different from English. You have to remember many words, and do some reading and writing. You can watch TV and listen to the radio. And you should do your best to talk with people in Chinese. If you have any questions, please ask me. I'm sure you'll learn Chinese well.
Hope to see you soon in Beijing.
Yours,
Wei Ming

親愛(ài)的瑪麗:
很高興你要來(lái)北京學(xué)習(xí)漢語(yǔ)。漢語(yǔ)很有用,許多外國(guó)人都在學(xué)習(xí)。漢語(yǔ)對(duì)你來(lái)說(shuō)很難,因?yàn)樗陀⒄Z(yǔ)完全不同。你得記好多詞,還得做讀與寫(xiě)的訓(xùn)練。你可以看電視,聽(tīng)廣播。你還應(yīng)該盡量用漢語(yǔ)同人們交談。如果你有問(wèn)題,請(qǐng)問(wèn)我。我相信你會(huì)把漢語(yǔ)學(xué)好。
希望早日在北京見(jiàn)到你。
你的,
魏明
