【Possible version】

Dear Mr. George,

I’m writing to ask for your help. Our school will hold an English Poetry Reading Contest next weekend. I am eager to have a try. It is required that the theme should be about nature. Each contestant is given up to five minutes to read the poem. So would you please be so kind to give me some recommendations on which poem to choose? Besides, what I need are the skills of recitation, including pronunciation and intonation, which will perfect my performance.

I’d appreciate it if you could give me some guidance. Looking forward to your reply.

Yours,

Li Hua
