Dear Mr. John,
How are you getting on in Beijing I would like to convey in this letter my heart felt thanks to you for your help with my English.
Here I’ll tell you a piece of good news that I am the champion of the Spoken English Competition held in the city. The success is owed to your help. Before you went to Beijing, you spent much time on my spoken English so that I made great progress in it. As a result, I got the first place in the competition. I heard that you and your wife would visit my school. I am very happy and expect to see you soon. I am sending you a telescope as a small gift in return for your kindness. I hope you will like it.
I must thank you again for your generous help.
Best wishes.
Yours,
Liu Jie
