Dear Dr. M. Susan Stiner,

Hello, it's nice to contact you again. How was your summer vacation like?

I hope you had a wonderful time.

For me, this two-month summer vacarion was very enjoyable and a little

courageous as I went sightseeing to San Francisco through Sep.17 to 21 myself.

It was my first flight and travelling abroad, so I had been quite excited about

that for almost half of the holidays leaving the study unfinished.

Only buying a flight ticket from travel agent, I ordered a hotel room

by telephone from Japan, used shuttle van to the hotel, etc. That was very

surprising and a great experience.

I was impressed with the magnificent "Golden Gate Bridge", exotic "China

Town", charming "Cable Car", great amount of food, clear blue sky, a smell

of deli or something, and so on. Every scene is still as a dream but clear.

From this dreamlike trip, I realized that I didn't have enough skill or

ability to communicate with people. I strongly feel I should brush up my English,

especially that area.

In fact, I feel I'm still in the dream. Did I really go there???

Thank you for reading. Now, I'm getting ready for your next lesson.

I'll do my best!

Best regards,
