Dear Li Ming,
    I am so glad to hear you have just been admitted to a university. I always trust you can make it because your diligence deserves it. As a senior student who is about to graduate, I would like to give your suggestions about how to get a meaningful university life.
    First, keep doing sports. I know you prefer staying indoors to playing outside. However, your body will get weak if you stop doing exercises for a long time. So please think highly of exercise after going to university. Then, try new activities as possible as you can. University is not a place to study all the time but a place to broaden your horizons, improve your skills, and so on. Step out of your dorm and make more friends. Last but not least, focus on your major studying, the course in university is much harder and deeper than any course you have learned before, but I am not worried about it because you are always good at studying.
    You really make a good success. May your future could be as successful as you have always been.
                                                                                                           yours sincerely,
                                                                                                           Zhang Wei

The rules for title case capitalization confuse me sometimes, but nouns and verbs generally are capitalized. 'Congratulations' is always plural for some reason.

Dear Li Ming,


&nbsp; &nbsp; I am so glad to hear you have just been admitted to a university.


I always trust you can make it because your diligence deserves it.


I always trusted you canould make it because your diligencehard work deservesd it. I always trusted you could make it because your hard work deserved it.

It has to be in the past because 1.) it already happened 2.) you set the tense of the letter as in the past in the previous sentence I'd recommend not using diligence, it is overly formal and carries religious connotations. Using 'trusted' instead of 'believed' or 'knew' implies failure would be a betrayal

As a senior student who is about to graduate, I would like to give your suggestions about how to get a meaningful university life.


As a senior student who is about to graduate, I would like to give your suggestions about how to getlive a meaningful university life. As a senior is about to graduate, I would like to give your suggestions about how to live a meaningful university life.

'to get a life' doesn't fit here. 'Get a life' is a valid construction, however it's more of an interjection suggesting the person in question find something better to do and stop wasting their own time. 'how to live' fits more

&nbsp; &nbsp; First, keep doing sports.


&nbsp; &nbsp; First, keep doing sports. &nbsp; &nbsp; First, keep doing sports.

'keep participating in sports' would also work but would be more formal

I know you prefer staying indoors to playing outside.


I know you prefer staying indoors to playing outside. I know you prefer staying indoors to playing outside.

you could use 'over' instead of 'to' to emphasize the preference. If you want to say it less formally it'd be 'I know you like staying inside more than playing outside'

However, your body will get weak if you stop doing exercises for a long time.


However, your body will get weak if you stop doing exercisesing for a long time. However, you will get weak if you stop exercising for a long time.

Nothing technically wrong but it's off. Generally we can conflate a person with their body. Exp. 'I'm hurt' means 'My body hurts'. 'You're stronger' means 'Your body is stronger'. There're other stylistic changes you could make. contracting 'you will' to 'you'll' replacing 'a long time' with 'too long' to emphasize the badness of the change 'get' to 'grow' to emphasize the gradualness of the change

So please think highly of exercise after going to university.


So please think highly of exercise after going to university. So please exercise after going to university.

'Think highly of' doesn't fit there, 1.) it's too formal 2.) they're recommending the person change their thought instead of that person's actions

Then, try new activities as possible as you can.


Then, try new activities as possiblemuch as you can. Then, try new activities as much as you can.

'as possible as you can' is totally invalid 'as much as you can' works 'as much as possible' also works *'as soon as possible' is sometimes shorten in informal text and speech to ASAP, pronounced 'a sap' I'd use 'Second' instead of 'Then' because this is more a list than a sequence

University is not a place to study all the time but a place to broaden your horizons, improve your skills, and so on.


University is not just a place to study all the time but also a place to broaden your horizons, improve your skills, and so on. University is not just a place to study all the time but also a place to broaden your horizons, improve your skills, and so on.

the additions reflect the structure, not just X but also Y. *I'd avoid the similar negation structure it's not X, it's Y because it's common in AI writing.

Step out of your dorm and make more friends.


Step out of your dorm and make more friends. Step out of your dorm and make more friends.

'more' can be replaced with 'some' more implies they already have some friends at the dorm. I like how you used 'step', it's nice imagery.

Last but not least, focus on your major studying, the course in university is much harder and deeper than any course you have learned before, but I am not worried about it because you are always good at studying.


Last but not least, focus on your major studying, the courses in university is much harder and deeper than any courses you have learned beforetaken, but I am not worried about it because you are always good at studying. Last but not least, focus on your major studying, the courses in university is much harder and deeper than any courses you have taken, but I am not worried about it because you are always good at studying.

course has to be plural, the person will take more than one course in university. *you can use coursework as singular The noun course doesn't take the verb learned. Courses are taken. Subjects are learned.

&nbsp; &nbsp; You really make a good success.


&nbsp; &nbsp; You really make a good successus proud. You really make us proud.

'make' doesn't go with 'success' as a noun in this context. You make a success would mean the person created something that succeeded, not that they themselves succeeded. *not always the case 'You make a fine soldier' 'You have really been successful' would convey that the person in question is successful. But I chose the above to convey more emotion underlying the idea. *You could say 'you have really been a success' but that implies that the person in question was created to get into university

May your future could be as successful as you have always been.


May your future could be as successful as you have always been. May you be as successful as you have always been.

'could' is completely wrong in that sentence 'your future' can be replaced with 'you'

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;yours sincerely,


&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;yours sSincerely yours, Sincerely yours,

generally it's 'Sincerely yours,' *looked it up and 'Yours sincerely' is ok just really rare and old-fashioned

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Zhang Wei
