sample letter 1:
dear andy,
i’m glad to hear you are coming to china for university study. here i’d like to offer you some tips in order that you will have a great time during your study in china.
as you know, china is a lot different from your country especially the culture, so you must try your best to adapt to the new environment. first, you must get used to chinese food. this may not be the biggest challenge for westerners. second, you had better be aware of the education system and make new plans for your university study. in addition, you should also be familiar with the transportation and accommodation.
on your first arrival in china, you may get a culture shock as well. the best way to overcome it is to make more local friends and to learn more about chinese culture. try to be easy-going and sociable so more chinese people would like to make friends with you. after some communication with the local people, it will be rather easy for you to adapt to the new culture.
of course you could turn to me for help at any time. i will be pleased to be your guide here in china, so please don’t hesitate if you have any trouble.
wish you a wonderful time in china.
yours,
fiona
sample letter 2:
dear emma,
i’m very glad to hear that you have decided to come to china to study chinese culture and language.
you have already known some chinese words through my letter, but it’s not enough for you to study in china. when you come here, you’ll find there are many differences between china and america. you have to learn how to communicate with the local people. chinese people are very friendly. so, it’s easy to make friends. there are many places you can go such as parks, public museums, and historical attractions. you can simply talk to them, just be sincere and generous, you will find your best friends.
you will have to adapt to the food and transport here. in china, most people use bike, or take bus, which is different in your country. study in china is also difficult. chinese teachers are strict with students in study, so you should study hard. the best way to learn chinese and chinese culture, i think, is to live with chinese people, stay with them, always communicate with people in chinese; if you have time, you can travel to different areas to know the variety of chinese culture.
