Dear Tom，
How time flies! You 【小题1】 (study) in Beijing for nearly a month, during which you must have achieved a lot. Well, how’s everything going? It is reported that the weather there is very hot and dry these days, which is very different from  【小题2】 of your country. Have you adapted to it? In addition, you once complained that the food  【小题3】  (serve) there was not   【小题4】  your taste. I hope that should have been improved.
I am glad to tell you that I will go to Beijing to take part in an English speech contest in July,   【小题5】 is not only an honor, but also a great opportunity for me to improve  【小题6】  . And now I try my best to make 【小题7】  (prepare) for it.  【小题8】  , I have some trouble in collecting the materials relevant and using the language. I will appreciate【小题9】 if you give me a hand to solve the problems.
After the contest, I am to drop   【小题10】 at your school to visit you.
Please wait for my phone.
