Dear Lucy,
I am delighted to hear that you are
going to learn Chinese in
a Chinese
university. Since you have asked for my advice
about choosing which university, I will
try to give you some
useful suggestions
here.
It is well known that Peking
University is a great place to learn
Chinese. There are several factors
accounting for this choice
and the
following are the most typical ones. First and
foremost, Peking University is one of
the top universities in
China and the
birthplace of many great minds. Therefore, it
can provide high-quality teaching
resources, which is
essential for a
foreigner learner.
In addition, Beijing
is the capital of China and there are
various historic buildings. They
provide foreign students a
good chance
to know Chinese culture and history.
I
hope you will find these suggestions helpful and
wish you all
the best.
Yours,
Li Ming
