茅台（Moutai）是中国最有名的白酒，在新中国成立前夕，被选为国宴用酒。

据说赤水沿岸的村民四千年前就开始酿造茅台。在西汉时期，那里的人们生产出了高质量的茅台，并把它贡给皇帝。自唐朝开始，这种地方酒通过海上丝绸之路远往海外。

It is such an excitement to hear that you would like to teach English in China.

Unquestionable, English learning is a great hit in China today, attracting many qualified foreign teachers to teach English in cities across the country.

Therefore, I am writing to recommend a city to you—Beijing.

The reasons for my recommendation are threefold.

Firstly, Beijing is the capital of China.

There are a lot of English-speaking foreigns, which could help you adapt to life here very quickly.

Secondly, Beijing is home to many renowned universities .

With rich education resources at hand, you will have plenty of opportunities to learn from different teachers and improve your teaching skills.

Thirdly, “livable” is the most appropriate word I can come up with to describe this city.

You will be marveled at dazzling delicacies, profound traditional Chinese culture and people’s hospitality here.

I truly hope that you can come to Beijing to start your teaching life and I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours sincerely,

Lihua

Hi Mark,

make up with, 下定决心做某事

destination, 目的地

Hi Mark,

​ I’m so glad that you have made up your mind to teach English in China. Before you make a decision about your precise destination, let me introduce my hometown, Chongqing.

​ Located in southwest China, Chongqing may not enjoy worldwide fans as much as Beijing or Shanghai, but it is a thriving metropolis with lower cost of living. Working and living here, you can achieve your career goals without feeling too much stress. The locals are known for being warm and hospitable, and you can teach in a way that feels good for you. To be sure, teaching a foreign language in a city where residents speak a dialect all the time can be very challenging. It takes time indeed to correct pronunciation mistakes each student makes.

But since you are always prasied for your kindness and patience, it should hardly be an obstacle fro you.
