Dear Anna,
I’m writing to ask for your help.
Our school will hold an English Singing Contest next weekend. I have signed up for it. It is required that the theme should be about nature. Each contestant is given up to five minutes to sing the song. So, would you please give me some recommendations on which song to choose? Besides, what I need are the skills of singing, including pronunciation and intonation, which will perfect my performance. I’d appreciate it if you could practice with me.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
Thank you
for your listening
