　　Dear friend:
　　How are you doing? Well, it is really a long time since we last meet, so I decided to write you a letter in order to tell you my recent status.
　　Actually, when I first arrived here last year I felt very unhappy even despaired all because I left the old circumstance, you know, always around by many friends, hold party every day, etc. Everyone is new to me, everything here could be a big challenge to me.
　　However, I am not the man who will easily submit myself to the hardship of life, after a three-day thinking, I made my mind. I talk to others, play basketball for my class team, learn how to live by myself, study knowledge very hard, all of these is for my determination which is trying to fit in with this new atmosphere.
　　Now, I think I have made my tough time. After a one-year try, I got many new friends who really like me and I have just finished the trip to Hainan with them. The method here for study is suitable to me now which is means I could gain better score in class. I am even learning guitar by myself now.
　　So, this is me, all in all, it’s not pretty bad. And what about yours?
　　Looking forward to your letter

　　yours
