Dear  Zheng:

This is the letter for you. I understand why you were so depressed in these days. You did not satify your performance what you have expected to achieve well in the pre-sessional course. Two-months is quite a short time for improving your English. Reminding of what happened in these two months, you almostly did not get somewhere. Your performace is seemingly  so unstable. In the begining, you can adjust the foriegn environment in a fast speed. However, the process was not going on smoothly. Your weakness revealed quickly. "Good begining seemly is not a half success." You are confused, sad, worried about the future. If you do not have confidence to face the TEEP examination, let alone your professional courses.

 

However, baby. Do not too worry. You are industrious student. You always try your best to finish your homework as the teachers requested. Obviously, you can not command of English well, even you graduated from English Department. If you can, you do not need to study here. Right? But actually, you neglected something which may help you be better. Firstly, you pay more attention to your study. You never read the local newspapers, watch TV. So your study environment still liken in China. Newspapers, TV which may cost much are the useful tools for shorting the distance between you and the local people. Secondly, you have ingrained chinese thinking which completely differ from the UK's. In order to be easily accepted by foreigners, you must practice more to simplify your thinking and express clearly. Your are Gemini, and actually you always confuse yourself. So you are facing a big challenge. Having a definitive aim, you try to best to achieve it. In addition, do not conside too much about other's opinion. You need a bit individualism.

 

Forget what happened, baby. In spite of you are homesick, and a bit lose the confidence, you will be better. Trust yourself.

 

Best Wish for you!

Yours,

Tracy
