Dear Sir,
I’ve just read your language center’s advertisement on Tuoi Tre newspaper. I am very interested in learning
English with native speakers, so I would like to get some information about your center.
My English is not pretty good. I can speak just a little English. My vocabulary is poor because I don’t read much
and my writing is bad. So I want to improve my English in all skills – speaking, listening, reading and writing - as
well.
Could you please send me more information about your program, schedule and tuition fees.
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely yours
THANH LAN
