Hey Drew!
Nice to hear from you. How are you doing?
I am impressed by those pictures. Very nice!
Glad that you spend happy time with your brother and sister.
It must be sad for you and your family to go back to China again in August.
For they will lose you for one year again.
when ( the exact time ) will you guys come back again?
20th? 23rd? 25th?
Gmail here in Shanghai won't work sometimes.
I've checked it more than four times before today. That was frustrating.
I thought I would lose touch with you all.
I kicked my friend's computer when Gmail wouldn't work. She said I was violent.
Luckily, it works today. ( I prayed before I opened it. I didn't kick it. And It really works! )
I heard the News about the hot weather in Southern U.S..
Is it intolerant heat in your hometown? Take care, my dear friend.
oh, you mentioned the last funny email again.
I told Eric that I just made fun of you last time.
He is a funny guy. I am planning to make fun of him sometime.
I am still doing the same job in Shanghai. Last week, I found I can use English in my job.
Some English-speaking country's people asked me the directions.
At the beginning, I was confused by the big maps.
And I got lost on walking through streets when I went shopping alone.
But after several times, I can recite most of the roads, streets, buildings. I am a map of this area now!
My summer time here teaches me a lot of stuff. My affection to this city becomes bigger and bigger.
I also join the English corner here twice a week,
and met many nice people here,
including international students who are studying Chinese in my friend's campus from many countries.
I feel released when I finished this email.
What is happening to you?
Best Wishes
Your student,
