Dear Mary,
I am very glad that you will come to Beijing to learn Chinese. Chinese is very useful, and many foreigners are learning it now. It's difficult for you because it is quite different from English. You have to remember many words, and do some reading and writing. You can watch TV and listen to the radio. And you should do your best to talk with people in Chinese. If you have any questions, please ask me. I'm sure you'll learn Chinese well.
Hope to see you soon in Beijing.
Yours,
Wei Ming

親愛的瑪麗:
很高興你要來北京學習漢語。漢語很有用,許多外國人都在學習。漢語對你來說很難,因為它和英語完全不同。你得記好多詞,還得做讀與寫的訓練。你可以看電視,聽廣播。你還應該盡量用漢語同人們交談。如果你有問題,請問我。我相信你會把漢語學好。
希望早日在北京見到你。
你的,
魏明
