オーストラリアに訪問する予定はありますか。＝＞オー ストラリアにお訪問しになる予定はありますか。
Would it be necessary to change more verbs into the humble form?
Thanks for all the help  |
Those are nice changes except for the last sentence. You cannot say 「お訪問しになる」. Change it to 「訪問される」.
You are writing to someone who has taught you Japanese, are you not? That would mean that it would be nice for you to use as many things as she has taught you. Not less and not more. She would know in a second if you received help in writing the letter, wouldn't she? I would use only those humble and polite forms that you have learned. If you want to change any more parts, I will be more than happy to take a look.
