PERSONAL LETTER: REPLY TO A FRIEND

Dear Ali,

Thank you for your delightfull letter which came a short while ago.

I am pleased to learn of the new interest you feel in the English

language, for it is the first step in your journey to success. No one, in his right

senses, can deny that proficiency in English is essential to

personal progress and happiness today.

One of the ways of improving your English is to read books on a

variety of subjects. If you read books on one or two subjects only, your

vocabulary will not expand fast enough. As you might know the English

vocabulary consists of more than 600,000 words. Each subject has its

own vocabulary. Therefore, the more subjects you read in English and

more words you will learn to express yourself with greater ease and

satisfaction.

You should also learn the basic rules of Grammar. It is indeed

difficult to write English confidently without some knowledge of

grammar.

Please write to me again if you need any help. Though I am not a

master of the English language, yet I think I can be of some help to you.

All the best,

Taha
