Special thanks!

Dear Rusty and Pete,

Long time no see! How have you been?

I'm well and happy(?) - oh, not so happy. It's hard and (?)busy! In fact, I'm doing my duties as a citizen by serving in military. That is, I'm a soldier now. So I don't have much time to study English and have an access to computers. Actually even though it's not satisfactory, I can have enough time to study, but my body doesn't follow my mind; my will is not so strong and rigid, and I'm so lazy!!! My poor English is rusting out and getting worse and worse.
I'm going to get released from the army one year and a couple of months later. Then, I'd like to restart studying English here in Englishpage.

Anyway, I'm posting this to say, "Thank you very much!" May 15th is Teacher's Day in Korea. I can and will never forget you, great teachers, and your great, sacrificing help. Many thanks, again! - You are the best people in the world!!!

I hope you and your families are always healthy and happy.
All the best.

Yours sincerely

[Rusty]

Dear Bear:
How very nice to hear from you! A year will go by quickly. I wish you the best. Sincerely, Rusty

Hi, Bear!

Uuuuuk! You, again!
I remember you did a thing like this, somewhere last year. There is a long time left until Teachers' Day: Your "Thanks" is too early! You have ten days until Teachers' Day. TEN days! :lol:
I've wanted to say this earlier than anyone else, but you ruined it again. You're always ahead of me. :(
Thank you for keeping us safe. :D
I wish you the best.

Hi, John,
Yeah! You can say that again. You can say that anytime you want!
I know him. He is a troublemaker. He was and is making trouble all the time wherever he is. He is a black sheep of Englishpage, he is a bastard, he is stupid, he is an idiot! He has no sense of 'time'!
But let's forgive him. That's just the way he goes. Let's leave him to live his way. If we didn't do so and annoyed him, he could go AWOL with a rifle and shoot us. He is a crazy homosapience! And you can say your "Thanks" on the exact date.
Your eyes must be green, hehehe!
Lots of love.
Ann

Hi Bear -- It's nice to hear from you. A while ago, Ann wrote that you had entered the army.

One way to keep up with English might be to pick some interesting, fairly long novel in English and when you have some spare time to relax, read that. It could be pleasant and still help keep English fresh in your mind. (I used to do that with French novels when I wanted to brush up on that language.)

Good luck. Write back when you can.

Thanks also, Ann and John, for your participation.
