???Dear Sir, I'm the student of Class 12. You always pretended to be angry to us. And sometimes you were very forgetable.

Hi Danna & Violet, thanks for your messages. Danna - keep studying, it is boring now, but when you have a good job in the future you will be glad that you studied so much. ;D Violet - It is difficult to please all my students, I currently teach over 300 students each week, so it is hard to remember all of the students names.

Hi Paul, I'm Cassidy from Class 11. This semester you have taught us how to make a speech in one's retirement party. I know your purpose is to check our pronunciation, and that is what I really want . However, more than 20 classmates of mine had their speech except some ones including me. Some of my classmate say that my oral English sounds a little strange. They say, when I was reading or speaking English, I was always quite excited, but I explain that as " full of passion". I feel puzzeled because I don't know how to speak English like a English student. I tried to immitate the pronunciation from tape or TV programmes, but I find it hard. I think that English people speak in a different way in daily life from that when they are broadcasting news, right ? And also, since there are lots of differences between Chinese and British life, tradition, and other aspects, (for example, the speech in one's retirement party), I hope you can give some examples to us in class. The last question is, I want to say some ideas I conclude in my life but not just about my life in my retirement party, is that acceptable? Thanks.

Paul, Happy Easter day!
I'm afraid I have another question for you. Joe told me that Cassidy is an American name and most English names stem from the Bible, so a lot of English people have a same name. In that way, why do English people make up names themselves? Or, do English people make up names ? And, is Kath a name ? I wanna change my name if possible. Thank you!
