Dear David,
I＇m glad you＇ll come to Beijing to learn Chinese. Chinese is very useful, and many foreigners are learning it now. It＇s difficult for you because it＇s quite different from English. You have to remember as many Chinese words as possible. It＇s also important to do some reading and writing. You can watch TV and listen to the radio to practise your listening. Do your best to talk with people in Chinese. You can learn Chinese not only from books but also from people around you. If you have any questions, please ask me. I＇m sure you＇ll learn Chinese well.
Hope to see you soon in Beijing.
Yours,
Wang Ming
亲爱的戴维，
我很高兴你会来北京学习中文。汉语是非常有用的，许多外国人都在学习它。这对你来说很难，因为它与英语有很大的不同。你必须记住尽可能多的中国话。做一些阅读和写作也很重要。你可以看电视，听收音机练习你的听力。你和中国人交谈。你不仅可以从书本上学习汉语，也可以从你身边的人。如果你有什么问题，请问我。我相信你一定会学好中文的。
希望不久能在北京见到你。
你的，
王明
