　　Dear Mr. Wang,

　　Thank you for your letter of November 3,1999. I am sorry not to have written back earlier but time seems to pass so quickly.

　　I learnt from your letter that you had received your master‘s degree. I would like to congratulate you on your splendid success.

　　In this letter I am bringing you a piece of good news: your wife gave a birth of a boy last week and she is in good health now. The baby weighed eight jin at birth. Yesterday my wife and some other neighbors went to the hospital to see your wife and to congratulate her on the birth. She told them that she had been nursed with the best care since she was in hospital.

　　Now I‘m taking the Visiting School Test in Beijing. If I pass the examination, I‘ll leave for America soon. If not, I‘ll wait for another chance. I‘ve never been to the U.S.A, and I know little about the institutions and customs there. I hope that you will write to me and tell me more about them.

　　With best regards to you and your classmates.

　　Yours sincerely,

　　Zhang Jiao
