Subject:

Hi there! I am planning to join a workshop during the upcoming holidays, the

workshop is organised by The Adventure Rooms. They have programmes called
Science Innovation, English Corner, Smart Learning and Whiz Kid. I am interested to
join the English Corner because I would like to brush up my broken English.
I am good at reading and writing in English but I am shy to speak the language in
public. By joining this programme, I will have the chance to learn how to express
myself better and to learn accurate pronunciation in English. The fee is RM200 which
I think is very reasonable for a three-day programme. I really hope that I can
improve my spoken English .
Wish me luck !

Your friend,
