Dear Alice,
It is a great pleasure to welcome you to our cLAsS.
It is said that you have been studying in an English-Chinese bilingual① school since your early years, so you speak both English and Chinese well. Therefore, I think you will surely keep pace with②us cLAsSmates in your studies.
Ours is an excellent cLAsS. All the cLAsSmates are united as one in whatever we do. All of us work hard at our studies, help each other in everything, and learn from each other the strong points.
After you come to our cLAsS, we can learn from you in English studies. I hope you will help us with it. And we can help you in overcoming all the difficulties that you will meet.
Let us get together for a common goal in our school life in the coming years. Meanwhile, if there is anything I can do for you, just let me know.
Yours truly,
Li Yang
