Suppose you won a translation contest and your friend, Jack, wrote an Email to congratulate you and ask for advice on translation. Write him a reply to

1) thank him,
2) give your advice.

Hi Jack,

Thank you very much for the congratulatory Email. As for the advice on translation, based on my not-so-rich experience, here are a few suggestions. First, you need to learn well both languages, Chinese and English. Second, you need to drill translation skills as frequent as you can. Last but not least, I strongly recommend you to take part in more translation activities and contests to test your progress. Again, thank you so much for the congratulations and wish you good luck with your translation endeavor as well.

Yours,
Li Ming
