Question

14．Dear Ms．Wang，
  I am writing to inform you of some arrangements about my composition course and Latin course next year．
  I've decided to re-establish the 5-paragraph essay as the goal for the composition course．I interviewed some of my former students and they all agreed that being able to write critically and continuously was important to them．
  So next academic year，Term 1 will be like always：sentences to paragraphing．And Term 2 will work toward the 5-paragraph essay．The final 3 weeks of Term 2 will be reserved to introduce writing for TOEFL and CEE．By that time，if the students have done their job correctly，then they should be able to write quite well．
  As for the Latin course，I will post notices around campus next week so that the students will understand what's on offer before I actually introduce the course．A number of students already emailed me about the course．
  I am sure you don't understand what a big deal our opening this program at our school is．People around the world are interested in what we plan to do．There are many rewards available to the students who succeed in the course．Please share what I have sai d with the administration．I want them to understand the importance of this course．The reason I have contacted these colleagues （actually Oxford contacted me） is that I have confidence in our students and in myself．I know that when those professors meet our students and hear them speaking and reading Latin，they are going to be amazed．It will open all sorts of doors for students that they never even thought of knocking on．
  Well，that's it for now．I'll see you soon．
Yours，
