Dear Mr. Johnson,
How are things going with you?
I’m writing to ask for your help. As you know, I’m weak in English reading comprehension. Although I have tried every means to improve it, like expanding my vocabulary and doing a large number of exercises, so far all my efforts have ended up in failure, which really makes me discouraged. To make things worse, this year reading will make up a higher percentage than ever before in the coming College Entrance Examination. Now with the important exam drawing near, I feel more and more stressed and worried. If I didn’t take effective measures, I wouldn’t be able to get through the exam and that would ruin my college dream.
I’ll appreciate it very much if you can give me some advice on how to improve my reading ability effectively and I’m looking forward to your early reply.
Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Hua
