Dear Chris,

I’ve finally made my decision to go to American for further study after high school.

I’ve been longing to go to American, mainly for two reasons. One is that I can experience American culture, and the other is that I can broaden my mind in this country. But I have some worries. My English is a bit poor, especially spoken English. I’m afraid I’ll have trouble communicating. Besides, I may suffer from heavy pressure from college course.

I hope you can offer me some practical advice.

Look forward to your reply.

Yours

Joe
