Tips: I can't write a good email right now!
Hi!
My name is Xinzhe Wang and I come from China. My native language is Chinese so it's little hard for me to write a good e-mail with the right format. The reason that I attend to this specialization in Coursera is I will pursue my M.S. degree in UC Davis in the 2020 fall, so I want to practise my English skills before that time. I will try my best to learn this course! Thank you for you reading this letter! Hope you healthy and safe!
