Dear Andrew,

How nice to hear from you again!I think it is natural for you not to get used to live there.Here,I have some suggestion for you.

First of all,you should respect the local customs and try to involve yourself to the natives' lives.Secondly,don't be afraid to communicate with American students and make friends with us. Friendship will bring you happiness.What's more,it was better for you to join more outdoor activities with your friends.Those activities may help you relax and have a fun,that is of great benefit.Finally,mind your own manners and remain modest and honesty when getting along with your friends.

I sincere hope my advice will help.May you adapt to your new life and enjoy your stay there.

Yours,

Li Hua
