Dear Minh,

I am writing to introduce to you a language school where you can improve your English. Instead of learning English on your own, as you are doing now, you should learn to speak English with others. The Academy of Language offers you a good and friendly environment to practice your English. They also have well-qualified teachers. There are classes at different levels in the afternoon and evening, and courses begin in the first week this November. If you are interested, you can phone 38765432 for further information.
Best of luck!

Hoang
