Dear Prof. Susan Garreis
Hello
Thank you for your reply and your corrections.
I agree. It is very lucky.

I can imagine! You must be freezing all the time in the winter. But are you cooler in the summer? It is probably not as hot for you in the summer as it is for most people.
-> It is cold, yes, but I must to go out because I have to go to school and do a part-time job.
In Japan, it is very hot in July every year. Compared to Vietnam, the temperature is similar, but you will feel hotter when you're in Japan than Vietnam because in Japan, humidity is lower than Vietnam.
I have no trouble sleeping in moonlight. But sunlight wakes me up in the morning.
-> And then you will not need an alarm clock, won’t you?
> I wish I did not need an alarm clock every morning!! Unfortunately, when the sun wakes me up, it is later than I need it to be.
> The sun wakes me up at eight o'clock or eight thirty. I need to be up at seven. So I use an alarm clock every day except Sunday.
The campus festival is a very nice event. I am glad you found good food, especially for a low price.
-> Thank you.
What was your favorite festival food?
-> My favorite is Thailand’s noodles and Chinese’s water dumplings.
Did you have to work in a booth?
-> No, I did not.
What was your favorite part of the festival?

There is no attached file this week.
In the US, it is an important milestone when one becomes sixty-five years of age.
My sister turned sixty-five on November 5.
We had a birthday party at my house on November 8.
Several family members and a few friends came.
We had lots of good food. We had birthday cake and ice cream. It was fun.
Sixty-five is a traditional retirement age.
My sister still works.
She will stop working in fifteen months.
She will travel and do some volunteer work.
What are important birthdays in Vietnam?
Teni, if this is the last email you are supposed to send, you do not need to reply.
