dear tom brown,
i have just received your letter. i am really glad to hear that you have done so brilliantly in the matriculation① examination. congratulations! with such excellent results you will be able to get into any leading university you like, i am sure. and i suppose you should study medicine since it has been your dream to become a surgeon all these years.
next year i shall finish my middle school and i want very much to enter my ideal university, qinghua university. so from now on i have to make full use of my time to get well prepared for the next year's matriculation examination. i shall try my best to do as well as you have done in your matriculation examination this year. please say hello to your family.
yours sincerely,
gao feng
