Dear Jack,
    I am writing this letter in purpose of expressing my appreciation to you. I feel so honored to be the winner of the translation contest. It is very kind of you to encourage me and I am so flattered.
    As you know, I am very fond of translation and I spent most of my spare time on studying translation. I think you can take the following steps to improve your translation skills. First of all, you can read some academic textbook and master the theory of translation. What’s more, it is beneficial for you to broaden your mind by browsing some newspaper and journals frequently. Most important of all, you are supposed to practice as much as you can.
   I hope you can find these proposals useful and practical. If you have any questions, please contact me at anytime you like. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Li    Ming
