Dear Friends,
On behalf of the Students’ Union of Beijing Foreign Studies University, I would like to

extend our heartfelt welcome to all of the overseas students from all over the world to study in our university.

It is my great pleasure to propose several practical suggestions to you. In the first place, life in this prestigious university perhaps is not as satisfactory as what you expected. You may be tightly bound by continual classes, excessive homework and exams. In the second place, in spite of all these adversities, you will still enjoy your life in this esteemed institution. All types of extracurricular activities such as sports meets, speech contests, different social gatherings
   and dancing parties provide ample opportunities to make friends.
All in all, although there are many things lacking, life in our campus is a worthwhile

period in your whole lifetime. Wish you enjoy your life here!

Yours sincerely, Li Ming
