Letter 30: The End of Our 10th Grade

Dear Tim,

         I'm sorry that I won't write too much in this letter, because we are going to have the final exam, and I need to prepare for it. Taiwan is getting hotter and hotter right now. Last week, it was almost rain everyday. Many people will fell very uncomfortable in the terrible weather. Fortunatelly, I can bear the hot weather well.

          We are going to be separated into different classes. Many of our classmates will leave EHP, and some people will come in. I try not to feel sad about their leaving, however, I cannot help but keeping memorizing those wonderful memories between us. Wherever they go , I believe that we will be friends forever! I love them very much!

Sincerely,
Candy

Letter 29: My Summer Plan

Dear Tim,

         I am interested in the last part of your newsletter. I like languages, and I think that learning Turkish is special. Since I believe that there aren't many people can speak Turkish in Taiwan. If I have a chance in the future,  I hope I can learn this language. And I also have great interest on Turkish food. I have only eaten Turkish ice cream befaore, and I really want to try some delicious food.

          About my summer plan, I don't have a exactly schedule. But I have already know what I will do. First, I will improve my English and French. I want to read some books in these two languages. And then, I have to exercise more! In order to keep my weight and be healthier. The last is that I will go out with my friends. Cathy, Melody, and I are planning about our travel to Tainan and Kaohsiung.
Hope you will have a wonderful summer vacation.

Sincerely,
Candy

Letter 28: EHP Yearly Presentation

Dear Tim,

          I didn't eat zonngzi this year since I didn't went to my grandparents' house in Yilan with my family. My grandpa makes zongzi by himself every year. But  this year, I have to go to school to prepare our EHP yearly presentation, so I couldn't  visit my grandparents in the vacation. I really missed those tasty zongzi made by my dear grandpa...
          We had a wonderful time in our EHP yearly presentation though it rained hardly that day. There were three shows performed by second grader and one show by third grader. And I was one of the hosts for those shows. William and I hosted for a show named" Lost in Trsnsylvania". I played a British lady and William played a cowboy. For the other show" Unforgivable Sinners", Red, Hugo and I hosted it. I was a bride in our performance. But I was killed by the groom(Red played) soon. And he got marrried with the priest(Hugo played). When I was hurt by the groom, I had to scream loudly. And I swear that I did my best on the stage to let the audience laugh. Fortunately, I was success!

Sincerely,
Candy

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
