Dear Bruce, I am Lihua,I am from No.14middle school in Zhifu district Yantai Shandong province.I want to go to your Study Center to study English,I prefer American English very much,I mainly want to improve my spoken English. I think I am good at reading,but I am weak in speaking,I hope I can study English through discussion and social survey or some activities like that.I am eager to live in an American family, in that case, I have more chances to practise my oral English,besides,I will know more culture about America,by the way,is it possible for to live not far from the study center?So I can walk to school. Look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible,Thank you very much. Yours sincerely Lihua
