Dear Kitty,

I was honoured to talk with you on the Skype yesterday evening. Though I heard only a few words, your voice gave me a nice impression. You sounded sweet and kind.

The Internet is a virtual world. I like it because it is so useful for me in my work and research. Thanks to my online experience, my English has been greatly improved. My epals have always been a support to me in my English studies. Of course I am much stronger than before in the use of the language, but to be honest my English is far from perfect, for you made out that I was Chinese the first time you heard me. I know my strengths and weaknesses and in the years to come I will focus on my weak areas. The day will come when you would believe I was a foreigner.

Hope to have you in the UC chat room evenings between 6:30 and 7:30 when I am doing my speaking turn. Your encouragement and appreciation will always be welcome.

Remember I can’t make it there some evenings. This evening I will have to teach my students in the school for evening sessions, so you will not find me in the chat room. However, I will try my best to be regular and punctual. If I can’t, I will send you a message by email or on some instant messenger.

May you be happy every day.

Yours,

Shengliver
