Dear Miss Kate,
Your letter of August 8 reached me this morning as a pleasant surprise. I had been missing you all the time, dear teacher. Glad to know that you are planning to come to London for a private visit this autumn, I eagerly look forward to seeing you as soon as possible.
I’ve been in London for almost a year. I am now quite used to life here. This term I take four courses: English, history, international law and politics. They are all very interesting and have benefited me greatly. I like them awfully.
At present I am living with an English girl of my age, who is majoring in C, erman history. She is very kind to me, often takes time to help me with my English and tells me many funny things about English customs and habits. In return, I have offered to improve her C, erman. We are getting along very well with each other.
My younger sister came here to join me two weeks ago. She is preparing for college entrance examination. She intends to study physics. Last Sunday, we went to Oxford to visit Mr. Wells, one of our father’s friends. He showed us some interesting parts of this ancient and world-famous cultural city. We were deeply impressed by what we saw in Oxford University. It is my wish that I will serve as your guide when you come here on a tour in the coming summer vacation.
Are you still teaching the graduating class now? What English textbook are you using this year? I will never forget your English classes, which were so lively and interesting, and helped me immensely.
Love to your family !
Yours gratefully,
Cathy
