Proofreading?

Hi, Teachers,
Please help correct my letter if there are any mistakes. Thank you.

Dear Jacky,

How are you doing recently?

I have some difficulty in Chinese listening. For example, I can't remember the numbers when I am doing IELTS listening. They speak too fast that I can’t catch the number such as telephone numbers and address.

Besides, I find it difficult to speak Chinese. You know, the four tones of spoken Chinese really drive me crazy. I often make mistakes while speaking to others. For example, when I am going to say“ shui jiao”(dumplings), my Chinese friend will think that I want to sleep.

In Chinese, if “shui jiao”, both of the words are pronounced the forth tone, it means “sleep I want”.

However, if both of the words are pronounced the third tone, it means“dumplings”.

I really want to improve my Chinese listening as well speaking.

But I don't know how. Would you please give me some advice?

I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon. 

Best wishes.

Yours,

Louisa
