Hello Richard, LindaMy Classmates

Hello, Richard, Linda and my classmates,

How are you? I saw your pictures on the Blog. It looks like everyone is healthy and happy. You know? I totally miss the class. Now, I have been working more days in San Francisco since I got back from Thailand. I went to Thailand because my brother got married. I took some pictures in Thailand to show you.

The first two photos are of one of my favorite places. It is named James Bond Island. This Island was in the James Bond movie "The Man With the Golden Gun".

The last photo is my family with our new sister-in-law.

Enjoyed Dim Sums

Last month, 30th, teacher Linda Newman and part of our new and old students had a lunch together in Happy Valley restaurant.

The day before that day, Linda introduced several kinds of Dim Sum in the class with pictures and texts, since some of our classmates had never eaten Chinese food. So we enjoyed eating Dim Sums and fry noodle.

We had a chance to communicate each other with English and other languages in the restaurant.

A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man.

A man will pay 2 dollars for a one dollar item that he wants. A woman will pay 1 dollar for a 2 dollar item that she doesn’t want.

A woman worries about the future until she gets husband. A man never worries about the future until he gets wife.

Jie’s Jokes

When I walked up to the ATM at the bank, I noticed that someone left his card in the slot in the money machine. I looked up the person in the phonebook and gave him a call.

“I found your ATM card,” I told the man who answered. He then asked hopefully, “You didn’t happen to find my sunglasses, too, did you?”

Good Morning, Students!

Welcome to the 2009 school year!

Last night I spoke with Teacher Linda and she told me that working with you is a pleasure.

I hope you redouble your efforts to improve your English skills during this new year.

Thank you for the wonderful cards!

I hope to return to Room 101 in February. In the meantime, I'll continue looking for your stories on the blog.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Hi classmates and teacher!

how are you? I hope you are enjoying this Christmas season with your family and friends.

I celebrated Christmas in Mexico with my family and relatives. Yesterday I ate a big dinner with my family in my parents' restaurant. We were like 30 persons enjoying together the Christmas holiday. At 12:00 am, we gave gifts and best wishes to the whole family. My house was packed with relatives and my parents' friends. Some of them were playing Mahjong, watching movies, playing some games and dancing. They left at 6:00 am!

I could not hang out with my friends because the city has been having a bad social situation. People are getting killed almost everyday! It is something that made me sad. Now, people are inside their homes very early. However, our Christmas celebration was great! And I hope you got a lot of fun and surprises too.

I hope that this Christmas season brings you special happiness, good health, wealth, love and peace. And also, I hope that all your dreams and goals come true!

Richard, I hope you received our cards and you liked it! We miss you... I hope you are getting stronger every day! =)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Guys!

**************************************************************

Merry Christmas to Teacher Richard

Teacher Richard:
I wish you have a Merry Christmas and have a wonderful New Year
Have a strong body in a New Year.
