　　Dear Steve,

　　I'm going to study in Chicago University in September, so I have to find a room to live in. I need to share(共享) the things in the house. Because housing is so expensive in Chicago. Please find a room at lower price (about 200 dollars a month), for it is not easy for me, a first year student, to find a good part-time job soon.

　　Please email me if you have anything. My email address is Diana @ Yahoo. com. I hope to see you soon.

Love,

Diana
