Dear Professor Williams,

I feel much honored to be invited to give a presentation about Chinese culture to a group of international students. I am willing to take this opportunity to communicate with international students.

I am considering introducing Chinese culture from the following three aspects. First and foremost, I will present the diversity of Chinese culture, which will include different Chinese customs and festivals, as well as food culture. In addition, I will concentrate on the influence of Chinese culture on global world. With the development of globalization, Chinese culture has been spread into different places and well-known by many people. Last but not least, I will put much stress on how to preserve and spread Chinese culture.

The above is my general arrangement for the presentation. I hope my presentation will impress the foreign students, and thank you again for your invitation.

Yours sincerely,

Li Ming
