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

亲爱的玛丽：
很高兴你要来北京学习汉语。汉语很有用，许多外国人都在学习。汉语对你来说很难，因为它和英语完全不同。你得记好多词，还得做读与写的训练。你可以看电视，听广播。你还应该尽量用汉语同人们交谈。如果你有问题，请问我。我相信你会把汉语学好。
希望早日在北京见到你。
你的，
魏明
