An open letter to Pever --- my way of making friends

Hi,Pever:
I am a Chinese student study in BUAA(Beijing University of Aeronaut and Astronaut,北京航空航天大学). I don't known whether you will receive this e-mail because I find your information from your blogger which you haven't write anything for more than one year. The reason why I write this e-mail to you is that you are interested in China, you learn Chinese, and you are in the Air Force, a field quite familiar to me for the character of my university.
In a word, I'd like to make friend with a person like you. It's really cool to be in the Air Force, seeing the planes taking off and landing. Although I study in BUAA, my major is Software Engineering which has little with military affairs. My sister's family moved to Florida, I miss her very much. My parents want me to study abroad to expand my horizon. My sophomore is just finished, I have only one year to improve my English. There are so many things I should prepare for graduate admission examination such as GRE, TOFEL. But it's so boring to recite words like daguerreotype, deactivate...So I think making friends with Americans maybe could ease the pain somehow. I like to make friends with everybody who has a kind heart and wants to communicate to share thoughts and ideas.
I am a shy person to strangers and very talktive to friends. I like to try different things. This summer vocation, the Beijing Olympic Games was held just near by where I live---BUAA, whose gym held the Olympic weight lifting Games and where the first gold medal of China was born and I watched some of the Games like the basketball game between Iran and Argentina. Although I am not a volunteer for the Beijing Games, I am always having a warm heart to people all around the world. My girlfriend, who is a volunteer for Beijing Games introduced three Korean visitors to me. It's the first time to visit China for all of the three girls who live in Soul. I really think it a pleasure to me to guide these girls around Beijing. I guided them to eat Chinese troditional food, go shopping, and some of famous universties of China like Tsinghua. I can feel very satisfied when looking at their smiling faces.
I lived in a seaport at my youth. When I was a child, I often went to the beach looking at the Pacific Ocean and feeling the moist wind from the sea. I wonder what's the world is like at the other land. Can I make friends with them. So I made a drift bottle,with a message saying" My name is Taoxu, I come from China, can I make friends with you?" I threw it with great efforts and prayed someone could pick it up. When I grow a little older, I know at the other side of the Pacific Ocean is a nation called America. So it's easy to understand why I am so happy to guide the Korean travellers. I think they are just the guest at the other side of the sea. And these days, in order to communicate with them well, I begin to study Korean all by myself. I can pronounce almost all the Korean although I don't know the meaning of the words. However, English is the language I learned from primary school. I have enough confidence to communicate with Americans. I think English is a language easy to begin but hard to conque, and Chinese is just the oppisite case.
Pever, you and I are of the same age, I think you are sunshine through the pictures. If we become friends, how happy I would be when I come to American a year later.
It's quite weird and somehow embarrasing to write this e-mail just like a resume and autobiography. And one thing concerns me is that I am not sure if you'd like to make friends with a guy you even don't know. If my concern is true, please just forget my e-mail that bothers you.
Best wishes!祝你万事如意！
