Dear James

Lately, I have had the chance to go study abroad, especially, in the USA, your motherland.

While this trip has been a wonderful experience for me as I learned a fair amount of English while staying here at *INSERT SCHOOL NAME HERE* ( Harvard :))) ). However, this trip is not without its own difficulties. Firstly, when I first arrive, I got into a lot of trouble because of the language barrier. This problem eventually resolves itself as I got better at speaking English. Then, I got problems with shopping. As this is my first time in the USA, I don't know the price of things, especially for food and groceries. Secondly, I also have some problems with traveling around the city. I often get lost and find myself wandering through the streets to find the way back to the hotel I'm currently staying in. When I was wandering, I met a thief who tried to take my phone and run away, luckily, I got hold of it. Despite all that, I still had fun while staying here, hope we can meet soon and talk.

Best regard, ....
