8 书信---感谢帮助 Dear Jack,
How time flies! It has been three weeks since you went back to your motherland. I wonder if you still practice your Chinese every day. As the old saying goes, practice makes perfect. I expect you will make amazing progress before long.
By the way, I come across some English idioms from time to time, which I feel is extremely hard to understand. Therefore, A Dictionary of English Idioms is a wise choice. However, it can’t be bought in the bookshops in my hometown. I would be pretty grateful if you do me a favor to buy one for me.
Christmas is just around the corner, so have you made any special plans for the holiday? Anyway, wish you a merry Christmas. Look forward to seeing you once more in China. Best wished!
Your sincerely, Li Hua
