Dear Phil,
I’m sorry to learn from the Internet that your hometown was struck by the tornado the day before yesterday. According to the video of the report, so strong was the tornado that it brought about a lot of losses. Many houses were destroyed and worse still, many people were injured or some were even killed.
Seeing the disaster, I have been worried about you and your family. I'm anxious to know your present situation. Please tell me what you experienced these days. I hope that everything is all right for you.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours, Li Hua

Paragraph 1:
It was exciting to go to school again but it was no game. Sitting in a classroom full of kids was awkward, even if most of them were respectful and encouraging. During the day, I was still a busy married woman having loads of housework to do. In the evening, I was a hardworking student working on my courses. To my surprise, both Linda and I did very well in night school. I went back again the next semester, and my grades steadily improved.
Paragraph 2:
Linda and I saw each other through all these years. When I was down, Linda encouraged me. “Mom, you can’t quit now!” And when she was down, I encouraged her. I have to say it was a time which was really hard on both of us. But neither of us gave up. At last, I got my diploma. To my surprise, almost all of my classmates voted for me to be class speaker, and I got a $3,000 college scholarship. The unfinished business in my dreams was eventually finished.

But at 15, I had to drop out because my parents couldn’t afford tuition (学费). My ________________________________________________________________________
hope of getting a diploma was dead, or so I thought. Pretty soon, I married and had three
children, and I thought: “There goes my diploma.”
Even so, I wanted my children to be educated. But Linda, our youngest child, had
juvenile arthritis (幼年型关节炎) in her hands and knees, which made it impossible for
her to function in a normal classroom. I felt really sorry for her and I didn’t want her to
live her life with regret. I didn’t give up hope of her being back to school in some way.
One day, I saw an ad in the newspaper for evening courses. “That’s the answer,” I
said to myself. Linda always feels better in the evening, so I’ll just sign her up for night
school.
Linda was busy filling out enrollment (入学) forms when the secretary said: “Mrs.
Schantz, why don’t you come back to school ”
I laughed: “There’s no way! I’m 55!” But he persisted, and before I knew what I had
done, I was enrolled for classes in English and crafts. “This is only an experiment,” I
warned him, but he just smiled. So, I told myself to try for just a semester and to see if it
would work. Anyway, my dream was still there in my heart.
