It would go something along the lines of this - (I'll write the basis, you fill in the gaps)
Hi,
As you know, my friend is coming to your city to have a look around. They will meet you at the train station at 9.00 am, and will be waiting at the front gate. They have ____ hair, _____ eyes, glasses and will be wearing a ____ shirt and a pair of jeans.
I think you two will get on well, just like you, they have a _____ sense of humour, they like to play ____ and listen to ____. They are quite ____ at first, but once you get to know them, they are actually quite ____.
Thank you so much for agreeing to this, and hopefully you will have a new friend too!
Regards,
YOUR NAME

I guess this also depends on what the "Advanced Reading Skills" lessons talks about, but don't think of it as "really hard"! Work on one word, one phrase, one sentence, and you'll start making progress. =)
In general, when translating, the first thing you'll have to do is to understand the paragraph, but you're right, this isn't that easy a paragraph to translate. You could use an English dictionary, or a bilingual dictionary (http://www.nciku.com<span>is good for English-Chinese) to help you. While you're doing this, try to pick out important words and translate them first, and see if you could understand what each sentence means. </span>
<span>Sometimes, words may have multiple meanings or be used as metaphors - for example, "amputated" means "having been cut off", but in your 2nd sentence, it means that the poet should not be condemned and criticised to the point where he is treated as having no value. </span>
<span>Finally, after you've translated the text, don't forget to read it to check if it makes sense in the language you're using - and if it makes for smooth reading!</span>
