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.

Two Thumbs Erected!

If only I could unlearn English and relearn it again, writing would be so much more fun. Alas, I can live vicariously through my students' prose, another lovely example of which follows below . . .

Dear Daniel:
How are you !
I was in the seventh heaven to known that
you have already recieved my letter which also means I
have mastered how to send a email.
Today is nice, and the fine weather made me
have a desire to write to you.
After several cold rainy days, the sun
finally comes out. The sunshine inspired me doing some
sports. Well, after class, I went straight to play
tennice. I was so excitting and played so hard that I
got very hot and out of breath.
Back to the dormitory, I washed my hair.
Standing in front of the mirror, to my great surprise,
my hair has been so long. No wander my classmates envy
my hair grows so fast that they even can not believe
it. Then, I can not help wandering how time flies .
Looking back to one and a half college life, I have
changed a lot . Not only my hair style(When I was a
freshman, my hair is as short as the boys'. Now I wear
my hair in plait.),but also my habit of life and
study.
As a matter of fact, my hair does not grow
at an extraordinary speed. Just try to think what will
be if you never cut your hair from the cradle to the
grave, it does not mean your hair grows fast, but you
do have a terrible long hair which is the result of
accumulation. Yes, my long hair proves nothing but the
great strength of accumulation. If I keep on
practising reading English eveyday, I can communicate
with you more fluently. If I insist on keeping a diary
everyday, I may have several books of autobiography.
If I take care of my eyes and keep them from being too
tired,I may not have to wear the heavy glasses. If
....
Well, the strength of accumulation has
changed me from normal sight to short sight(wear heavy
glasses), from obesience to rebellion, from shy to
confidence. Studying is a process of accummlation,
habit is the accummulation of life, history is the
accummulation of time. So, if we can make most use of
the strength of accummulation, we can benifit a lot,
change a lot.
You are always paitent with us and kind to
us, encourage us to speak out what we want to say
bravely, then you erect your thumb and say:" very
good." Your praise enhance our confidence to learn, to
say. You did a good job, and the accummulation of your
sedulous working makes you happy, proude. You are
also full of confidence to teach us well, aren't you?
What I say may be nonsence, but until today
I just realized the strengh of accummulation deeply in
my heart .The big discovery made me very happy and
energetic. So my college life is supposed to be very
fruitful and charming.
I am glad to share my discovry with you,
you are also supposed to be very successful and
fruitful in China or in any other places!
Happy eveyday!
