Dear Tom,

It’s been a month since you were here in Beijing. How is everything going ? It's your first time to be here,if I remember it well. Probably you'll find there are various aspects such as food,weather as well as your neighbouring community that are quite different from those you are used to in America or other cities. Any problems with them? Really regretful and apologize again for not having picked you up when you arrived that day due to my own tight schedule and here comes the chance,to my relief,that I may pay you a visit a couple of weeks later.

I am going to participate in an English speech contest for senior high school students to be held in July this summer. I consider the opportunity is of great importance and I have been preparing it recently with the hope that I can perform it well. However, I find a little difficulty in collecting materials as well as using it properly during the preparations. I'd appreciate it if you could do me a favor to provide me with some suggestions you think are feasible. Really hope the efforts I 've made are worthwhile.

Have been missing you since you left , I can assure you this time it won't be long before we see each other . Nice day and looking forward to your Email.

Yours Sincerely, Li Hua
