Dear Mrs. Winthorp，
So my first week at college is over! No lectures this morning so I think I'd email you and let you know what things are going.
I'm glad to say that anything has worked out fine in the dorm(宿舍). I remember asking for a room as far away from the lifts as possible and they find me a comfortable one on second floor. There are two girls from my course here and I plan to make friend with them so that we can help each other on the course work. Everyone else seems very nice and warmly here.
Well，I had better to stop now. I'm going to attend mine first lesson this afternoon，for I've got some preparation to make. Keep in touch.
Best，
Carol
