Dear Sir/Madam,

I’m excited to read the advertisement on the Internet about the summer courses for oversea students.①I expect to study abroad this summer. I’d like to know more about the six-week course.②

First, please tell me when the course starts so that I can arrange my time in advance.③Second, what is the average class size? I’d prefer a small class so that I can communicate with others.④Third, how many hours do we have classes during a week? I wonder whether we have some free time to go sightseeing after class.⑤Fourth, I wonder how much money we have to pay for the course.⑥Besides, how many types of accommodation do you offer? I’d prefer a homestay family to a school dormitory.⑦

I’m looking forward to your reply at your earliest convenience.⑧

Yours faithfully

Li Hua
