Dear Steven,
I’m glad to hear that you are coming to Beijing to learn Chinese.
There are many books intended for foreigners who learn Chinese, of which I think Expressions in Chinese Conversation is a better choice. This book has been a best seller on the Internet in recent years. Most readers are satisfied with its accurate language and abundant contents. Besides, the book is quite suitable for beginners because it starts from the very beginning. What’s more, it’s convenient for you to learn by yourself with the tape contained in it.
If you’re interested in it, you can buy it via the Internet for 15 yuan. It’s also available in local bookstores in Beijing. Please contact me if you have any difficulty in finding the book.
Wish you a nice time in China.
Yours,
Li Hua
本文是考生非常熟悉的书信形式，但是要点要靠考生自己梳理出来，有一定的难度，因为原文只给出了一个表格，需要考生自己整理出5,6个要点，并用适当的语言表达出来，对于考生的整理能力要求较高。写作时注意使用合理的连接词，使用高级词汇和1,2两个高级句型，让文章更有档次。
