Dear Sir;
   I am so sorry that I won’t be able to attend the English lecture which will be given by Mr. Li Yang in WuJin Cinema tomorrow morning. I have a friend who is returning homefrom abroad tomorrow morning and I have promised to meet him at the airport.
   You know I am very interested in English learning. I wonder if it is possible for the talk to be recorded, and if so, could I borrow the tape? It would mean so much to me to listen to the tape and learn what is covered in the talk.
