Dear Jenny
I'm sorry to tell you that I did poorly in English MidTerm Examination．Here are the reasons．A lack of hard work at English is the first point．Besides，the wrong belief in English learning is what led to failure．I have held a point that to learn English is to remember English words and phrases．What's most terrible is that I spend little time in comprehension reading．To improve English，I have made a new learning plan，hoping to make progress in English．From now on，I will turn to my English teacher and classmates for help if I come across some problems．At the same time，I will listen attentively in class and take notes in time when necessary．In addition，I will finish the assignments after timely revision every day．Above all，I will adopt correct learning strategies and work harder than before．
What do you think of my plan？
Your Faithfully
Li Hua．
