我被这种国际友人无私的关怀深深地感动了
.......

其实Mary也就是对你特别好，连老爷子都觉得惊讶，因为他觉得自己老婆其实是很难相处的

唉，看到这封信我又伤感了，恍若昨日，一切那么令人怀念

January 5, 2012

Dear Principal Clark and Assistant Principal Robinson,

Happy holiday! I hope this email finds you well.

I’m Zoe (Ziyu Liu)’s mother.  Zoe is in the second grade, Ms. Ellis' class.  I am writing this letter to inform you, in advance, of our plans to leave the United States and return to Shanghai, China in this coming March, 2012.  My husband, Guangming Liu and I, would like to express our sincere gratitude to you and all of your associates at the Skinner School, especially Mrs. Staral and Ms. Ellis, for all of your help during our stay in Chicago.

Because of our decision to return to Shanghai, and additional travel plans which are currently being finalized, Zoe will be absent from her class for some days during the months of January, February, and March.  As to the specific days Zoe will be absent, we will inform Ms. Ellis as soon as our travel schedule is finalized.

Time flies!  I can’t believe that we have already stayed in Chicago for almost one and a half years, and Zoe had her fantastic school life for three semesters!  At  Skinner School, she made many friends, received much LOVE from teachers and classmates, and made pretty good progress in her studies.  I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you.  Thank you for your great assistance, kindness, and guidance during those days.  I remember the first day of school on Sep. 7 of 2010, when we were so panicky as newcomers, and you welcomed us with your sincere warm greeting and encouragement.  It was because of your encouragement and kindness that Zoe quickly adapted to the school life in America and made progress.

Please let me know if there is any paper work that you need me to complete regarding this transition.  We would like to request an academic file on Zoe summarizing her attendance, progress and standard test results while attending Skinner School if this is available.  I will follow up with you regarding this request.  Please contact me at 312-823-3110, at any time if there is anything I can to assist here. 

Last but not least, I wish you a healthy and prosperous year!  Thank you again.

Best regards,

推荐一款小野人，准备让咚妈帮带一个

这两天每到傍晚就一场阵雨，然后又是霞光万丈，犹如心情一般。。。。

上次在微信中分享的老美药剂的精准性，
其实想说老美对吃药是相当重视的，
可谓情有独钟，
基本上有些人真的能做到饭可以不吃，但药一定要吃，尤其是维他命ABCDEFG。

刚到芝加哥时略感风寒，
Mary就拿来治咳嗽的，治鼻塞的，还有治头疼的各式药品，
然后一次逛街，
她突然问：我上次给你的治头疼的药还有哇？
我给了她一颗，
过了会儿她又要了一颗，
那吞药的架势完全不顾忌“是药三分毒”的古训，
两分钟后，
她说吃了药真的好多了，
我真是很怀疑。

另一件趣事。
老爷子Alan有一天请我们吃披萨，
是气死披萨，
老爷子说他喜欢这个口味。
可是吃着吃着他就去吃药了，
我太好奇他这种吃法了，
他解释说他对气死有一定的过敏，
所以必须中间吃一次抗气死过敏的药，
老太太透出来说：你看，我们什么情况都可以药来解决。
我真是太长见识了。

美国经济还是很不好，
虽然表面的繁华依旧，
但是有些地方可能还不如两年前。
街边无家可归的人越来越多，
同时也越来越年轻，
举个牌子大多写着no job或是hungry，
也见到了几个带着孩子出来乞讨的人们，
有黑人也有白人，
只不过他们的小孩在父母旁边又跑又跳，
甚至穿着old navy或是gap。

我也没啥推荐。。。就是看到人家背过，然后摸摸材质确实感觉蛮扎实的。。。

有点淘宝上看看，单肩居多，样子也蛮好。
