　　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

　　亲爱的大卫，

　　我很高兴你会来北京学习中文。中文是非常实用的，现在许多外国人正在学习。这很难为你，因为它与英语不同。你要记住尽可能多的中国话。同样重要的是做一些阅读和写作。你可以看电视，听广播练习你的听力。尽可能地与人用中文交流。你可以学习汉语，不仅从书本上，而且从你周围的人。如果您有任何问题，请问我。我敢肯定你会学好中文。

　　希望能尽快看到你在北京。

　　此致，

　　王明
