To: Wang Hong Subjects: 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 ping-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. Best wishes! Yours, Kevin

They are willing to help others. My good friend Lingling plays ping-pong very well and she has won some good prizes. I can ask her to practice it with you every day. And I’m sure she must be glad to help you and play with you.
My friends and I are looking forward to seeing you soon.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Wang Hong
