10. Sample
Dear Wenxin,
There are three good ways to learn English. One way is being interested in what you are doing. If you are interested in something, your brain will be more active and you will be more focused. If you like music, I think you should listen to English songs. If you do this, you will be able to improve your pronunciation.

11. It is also a good idea to read English books because well- written books can teach you many new words and how they are used. You could try to improve your English by watching English movies. This will help you to improve your listening and speaking skills as you will have a chance to listen to natural speech.
I hope these three ways will work well for you!
Your friend,
Li Ting
