Ⅵ. One possible version:
Dear classmates,
Here I want to say something about how to learn English words.
First, I learn some pronunciation rules of the letters. Then I can memorize a word by putting its pronunciation and spelling together. Second, I read a lot. I often read some English newspapers, magazines besides the textbook. So I can learn some new words and review many learned words. I also make vocabulary lists in a small notebook and put it in my pocket. I review the words in the notebook when I have time, even a short time.
I used to forget lots of words. But now I don't think it is a big problem for me to memorize English words.
Thank you!
