Answer 1

Dear John，
I am so glad to hear from you．Learning that you are working on Chinese，I strongly recommend you the novel Journey to the West《西游记》．
The novel is one of the Four Great Classical Novels  四大古典小说of Chinese literature．The tale is about a Buddhist monk 佛教的和尚and his three disciples徒弟，animals with human characteristic，traveling west to India in search of Buddhist scriptures佛经．In my opinion，the study of this novel opens the way to Chinese values and history，from which you will get better understanding of Chinese culture（注意：非限制性定语从句）．Besides，the novel offers a mixture of adventure 冒险and comedy喜剧，so while（此处省略了和主句相同的主语及be动词） enjoying reading，you will surprisingly find you can speak and write in Chinese more fluently．
To advance your Chinese proficiency提高你的汉语水平，enjoying the charm魅力 of Chinese language，I hope you keep reading．Your Chinese will achieve great progress取得进步．
Best wishes to you．
 Yours
Li Hua
