Dear Jim,
I'm so glad to know your future education plan in Beijing in your last letter. I am sure that you will have the most unforgettable experience during your college in Beijing.
Learning your keen interest in Chinese culture, I suggest you apply for Peking University, one of the best universities in China. Its Department of Chinese Language and Literature is perfect for you where you can be completely absorbed in Chinese profound history and rich culture. As for preparations , some reading in advance is necessary. Some online courses of spoken Chinese can be helpful for you to adapt to the Chinese language environment.
If you have any other question, please feel free to let me know.
Yours,
Li Hua
