Dear Zhang Fan,
I am so sorry to learn of the unfortunate news that you failed in the last CET-6. I hope you won't feel too discouraged by the result. You know you could have done better if you had not been sick during the test day, and you know there will always be another chance to take CET-6. You are just a sophomore now, and you still have plenty of time to prepare for it.
For now, just forget the test and cheer up. You have more important things to do, such as term paper and final examinations.
If there is anything I can do, please tell me.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming

Dear Wang Yu,
When I heard that you fall ill and stay in hospital, I am very worried. How are you feeling now? Are you getting any better?
The weather has been changing a lot lately, which often causes illness, and you must also be suffering from great school-related stress. It's very easy to get sick under the circumstances. At the moment, you should temporarily leave your study aside and turn your attention to your health. When you are well, you should take more care of yourself, doing some exercise, to prevent diseases. Immediately you're out of the hospital, I will try my best to help you with your studies.
Once I have time, I will go to see you. Get well soon!
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
