Dear Jack,

I am here writing to express my gratitude to you for your congratulation. In your letter, you told me that you wanted to know how to do well in translation. I will give you some useful suggestions on translation as you have inquired.

First, you need to grasp the basic grammar knowledge, which enables you to understand the sentences correctly and translate the original language to the target language properly. Second, a wide range of extensive knowledge in different fields is important because the more you know, the easier it is for you to make clear what the passage is talking about.

I would be more than happy if my proposals could be considered and positive changes take place in these regards.

Yours sincerely,

Li Ming
