Dan in La Crosse

A Midwestern voice in the Midwest. Once I lived in China and was Dan in China, a Midwestern voice in the Far East. Now I live in La Crosse and am Dan in La Crosse, a Midwestern voice in the Midwest. How novel.

Have tissue at the ready

Here's a stunning email I just received from one of my students who, among the hundreds, I've managed not ever to notice.

Hello, Daniel !
I would be in the seventh heaven when you get on line and find this email . But then ,"who is Betsy ?" will be how you greet the first sight of my English name.
I can't either introduce myself as a famous person ,or the one you known well of. I simply to say I am just one of your students of the oral English training this term, a girl who has no noticeable character,or a flrent English.
Daniel ,you known what?It is your basic nature charm me .I already have the urge to talk with you fluently,But my broken English give me a big problom.Indeed your way of thinking ,of living have attracted me so much. The culture of your own courntry is so different from ours , and it ,sometimes ,invites shocks.
You seem to extrodinery to us.Like you like traveling a lot even without
a companient like a bird in the sky which fly and fly ,over a moutain and a moutain.I wonder wheather you feel lonely or missing home sometimes,and how do you overcome,if anything, this passive mood.
This's the different between two nationalities. Chinese most will always miss hometown when in the other province ,miss the motherland when abroad, and miss the earth when in other planet.They, if they can,would rather born in it and died in it.
But you ,fly and fly ,and the English give you the freedom to do what you like .You ultimitely have it made.
There is the very way of your life,I would venture to say, with breath of genuine life, with excitement.That's what I wonder and interested.
I wish that day that I can say a fluent English come earlier.Then,we can talk with other freely.And I have suggest that you should learn the chinese language; it is interesting and worth of learning. I love this language ,not because of being a chiese .You will find her charming .
Now, I think I have to finish the email, maybe it's too long or has no much meaning .However , I wish you like it .
I wait for your answer if it not bring too much trouble to you .
best wish ,
sincere
Betsy
