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,
