Dear Irene,
Many thanks for your letter of 20th December to Waiming and me. Waiming’s mother sent it to us here in England. I thought I had better reply myself since, as you know, your brother is not very good at writing letters.
You asked whether Waiming’s application (申请) for a scholarship (奖学金) had been successful. Well, as you can see by now, it was. He is doing a one-year postgraduate course in world history here at Lancaster University. The little house we live in is near the university. We have to buy a used car which is necessary because the bus service here is poor.
We arrived in England at the beginning of September, and stayed in London for three weeks with my cousin Kwok, who owns a large restaurant there. This was the first time he had met my husband. Then we went to Cambridge for a week, where Waiming had to attend a meeting, and after that we came up to Lancaster and had two weeks to find somewhere to live and generally got organ iced before Waiming’s course began.
The weather has been quite a change from home. Last week we had some snow, the first we had ever met.
We get on very well with most of the English people we have met, although we had some difficulty at first understanding the northern accent.
Well, that’s about all our news. Waiming’s course is going well, and if he passes his exams we will be free to return home in July.
Love,
Sally

Dear West, We're with you,as you never know __6__the party will have in store for you.__7__you don't make your farewells in an unhurried manner and don't give the impression that you are __8__a rush,it will not be rude to do so.The employees who get drunk may not even notice you've gone.More importantly,other employees may find courage in __9__to do the same, and perhaps if enough of them walk out,the boss will find __10__way to celebrate the holiday. |
