Dear Sir or Madam，

One of the teachers at my school in New York tells me that your school has summer courses. I am planning to go to Beijing next summer and would like to take a short one-month course.

I am 18 years old and have been studying Chinese for six years. I was born in the USA and have never been to China before. I am going to study Chinese at the university. I think the course will help me improve my Chinese.

Could you send me a catalogue（目錄）and application form（申請表）？I would also like information about Beijing and other places nearby. I hope to do some travelling when the course is over.

Thank you！I am looking forward to your reply.

Very truly yours，

Jim Green
