    Default FCE writing (please help!!!)

    I am learning how to write a letter to a penfriend but I am not good at it
    Can you guys please HELP!!!!
    here is the question

    Your English pen-friend wants to start learning your language and has written to you for advice and information. Write a letter to your pen-friend, giving advice about how to learn your language and telling him or her what you think the main difficulties will be. Do not write any address

    My first language
    Thai or Chinese ^ ^

    Whether you are good at writing in English is not the point. The point is, that the way to learn how to do something is by doing it. When you want to learn how to swim - the first thing that you have to do is get into the water.

    Start your letter this way -

    Dear Charles,
    Learning Chinese can be difficult. I suggest that you..... In addition, I can help by....One way to learn our alphabet is....Most people who try to learn Chinese have problems with....I suggest that you do the following...

    Dear Charles,
    It was lovely to receive a letter from you, and I am delighted to hear that you want to study my language, so I am writing this letter to inform you for more information about Chinese.
    Learning Chinese can be difficult. I suggest that you would have to learn it every day because it is quite tough for a starter like you.
    In addition, I can help you by sending some CDs about Chinese starter’s words, books that I have learned when I was kindergarten and also…
    Most people who try to learn Chinese have problems with the alphabets, because there are so many lines in one alphabet. Which this is also a trouble for me too, I usually forget how to write or even read it.

    Good letter - easy to read and understand. You have a nice writing style. I made a few changes for you to consider. Though the word "starter" may seem to be correct, I believe that "beginner" or "basic" may be better choices. You should rewrite this and repost it.
