Dear Sam,
Thank you for your concern. Well, I’m now taking the once-a-year college entrance examination. We are scheduled to attend the exam on June 7th and 8th, on the first day of that Chinese and math will be test, the second day physics, chemistry, biology and English. Over the past ten months, they have been busy in preparing this examination. Besides listen to teachers carefully in class, we often work deeply into the night. Therefore, I believe it I can succeed. At first, I felt a little bit nervous but soon I calmed down because I came to realize that Chinese and math was very easy and English is my favorite subjects. So I suppose I can get the good marks which will enable me to enter my ideal college. Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Xia
