一封关于如何学好中文的信 A letter on how to learn Chinese

Dear Peter, 

亲爱的彼得,
I’m glad to receive your letter asking for my advice on how to learn Chinese well. 

我很高兴收到你的来信询问我的一些关于如何学好中文的问题。
Here are a few suggestions. First, it is important to take a Chinese course, as you’ll be able
to learn from the teacher and practice with your fellow students. Then, you should watch TV
and read books, newspapers and magazines in Chinese whenever possible. 

这里有一些建议。首先,重要的是要有中文课,你就可以
从老师和同学身上学习并且和同学练习。然后，在条件允许的的情况下看汉语电视

和阅读书籍、报纸和杂志。
Besides, it should be a good idea to learn and sing Chinese songs, because by doing so you’ll learn and remember Chinese words more easily. You can also make more Chinese friends. They will tell you a lot about China and help you learn Chinese. 

除此之外，学习和唱中文歌曲应该是个不错的主意。因为这样做，你将要容易得多去学习和记忆中文单词。你也可以交更多的中国朋友。他们会告诉你很多关于中国的事情并帮助你学习汉语。

Try and write me in Chinese next time.

下次试着用中文给我写信。

Best wishes 

献上最美好的祝愿
