Letter 27: EHP yearly presentation

Dear Tim,

         In Taiwan, there is a day just like Memorial Day. We have a holiday in 2/28 in order to memorize those people who died in 2/28 incident.
         We had had our school fair in last semester. I really like this activity in school. Because we can try to do some "business" by ourselves. I always do my best to help my class earning money.
          Next week, we are going to have four days vacation for Dragon Boat Festival. But we  have to go to school for three days of the vacation. Since we will have our EHP yearly presentation next Friday afternoon and night. I am a host in our performance. The two characters that I play are a British lady and a bride. I hope I can do well next week.

Sincerely,
Candy

Letter 26: My Grades Again

Dear Tim,

         I am interested about the birthday party you talked about. I really hope that I can enjoy a party like this someday.  To celebrate my birthday, my friends will buy me a cake and design some games to let me get the gifts they prepared. And they will have a dinner with me. We will have a happy time. But I haven't experienced a "real" party, I really want to try it.

          I got the grades that my mom felt satisfactory in the midtern exam. Especially my math grade, this is the first time that I got higher than 50 since last semester. I hope that I can work harder next time and get better grades than this time. I believe I can do better!

Sincerely,
Candy

Letter 25: Cinco de Mayo

Dear Tim,

         I really like to learn something about other countries' cultures. This time, I also feel intereted in the holiday, Cinco de Mayo, you had mentioned. I would like to attend this holiday since I relish watching dances. When I see people dance, I will feel excited and want to dance with them. If there is a chance, I want to learn more about the different cultures in different countries.

          Now, I am accustomed to write you the letters, and I also enjoy it. But I know that I still have many grammar mistakes in my writing. Therefore, I will practice this more! And I have to say sorry! Next week, we are going to have our middle exam. So I have to study harder or my mom will be mad at me. She always think that I have to study more. And if I go to bed before 24:00, she will blame at me as I am not hardworking. I really feel tired about this.

Sincerely,
Candy

Letter 24: Chorus Contest

Dear Tim,

         We got the champion!!!

          This afternoon, we had a singing contest with other 17 classes. For this, my classmates and I kept practicing for a month. We sang hard every noon in order to be the best class on the stage. Today, our teacher, Summer, sang with Soprano. Since our school said that the teachers in each classes can help the students to sing. When we were singing, I felt very impressed. We sang softly but also loudly sometime. Stand on the stage, we enjoyed the melody and put our feelings in it! Our goal was that we wanted to make the audience felt moved. And we did did it! As we hoped, we won the competition.

Sincerely,
Candy

Letter 23: Basketball Game

Dear Tim,
         Thank you for your suggestions last time. I will try my best to prepare the exam next time.
         This week, we are very busy! We just got the fourth place in the basketball game yesterday. My classmates really did the great job! In fact, it is not fair to us, because there are just 21 person in our class. Therefore, we did not have many choices. In our boys' team, we needed two girls to take the place of  the boys who is injured and cannot play. Fortunately, our girls' team is very powerful! Most of them are in our school's basketball team. We had four games with other classes. Our girls' team let other girls' teams get no point in three games. We are all proud of them! But the boys in other classes are taller and stronger than our. In the games, they always hit our players hardly, regardless of boy or girl. So we lose the game finally.
         Next Wednesday, we have a singing contest. I hope we can do our best and enjoy the competition. I will tell you the story about this next time!

Sincerely.
Candy

Letter 22: My Terrible Grades

Dear Tim,

          I like your letter which was talking about the leprechauns. And I also love the story “Midsummer’s Night Dream”. In fact, it is my favorite story by Shakespeare! I relish those fairies live in the forest, I think that they are so cute.
            This time, I want to tell you something about my grades. I felt very upset when I knew my scores after the exam. I thought that I had studied hard for the test this time, but I received a terrible result! My mom told me that  I used a wrong way to study. Therefore, I didn't understand the details clearly. I know that you are a history teacher, but I still want to tell you that I have never got such a low score for history. This time, I felt the questions were very difficult when I wrote my test paper. I even couldn't understand some questions... I really hope that I can have better scores next time. I have to change my way of studying to improve my grades. Do you have  any good ideas of studying ?

Sincerely,
Candy

Letter 21: The Cup Song

Dear Tim:
       
          I am sorry that I can't spend too much time to respond you. Since we are going to have a big exam next Monday and Tuesday. But I still want to share something about The Cup Song to you.
          When I was  a second-grader in junior high, I had a perfect memory with my classmates. There were the lessons that my class had to have some activities with some elders. And one of the lesson was that we needed to teach those elders playing cups like The Cup Song. When they learned it well eventually, our teacher took a video for us. My classmates and I sang the song loudly and happily and we passed the cups one by one. We really had a good time at that afternoon with the elders. Until now, I can still recalled the memory vividly and clearly.Therefore, I always have many feelings when I hear The Cup Song every time.

Sincerely,
Candy
