Dear Mr. Craige,
I am writing to tell you something about the l0th English Speaking Contest I took part in last week in our school.
I got the “Top Ten Prize” out of 30 competitors, which was totally beyond my imagination.
When I heard the final result I couldn't believe my ears and jumped with joy. It's thanks to your effort that I have made much more rapid progress in my spoken English. Before the contest, whenever you had free time, you would help me practice my spoken English. You communicated with me as much as possible, and corrected my pronunciation, intonation as well. What's more, you taught me some helpful speaking skills and made me full of confidence. Without your help I couldn't have achieved such a good result. I have benefited from this competition a lot. All in all, I really appreciate your help.
Thank you again for your advice and kind help. I sincerely invite you to my home for dinner and have a good time.
Yours,
Li hua
