Hello Craig!!
How are you?
My name is Maria (Mery in English).
I wanted to say thank you for all that you have
done for us, and also to the students of St. Aloysius College.
It is very important for us, all this, really.
Maybe, some people haven't told you anything, but
they feel the same.
Well, I hope you spend a good time here in Argentina
and your son, Joshua, too.
We are worried about how you are feeling and we
want you to be comfortable and that you can keep a good remember
from here.
I am very glad that you are teaching us some things
of your country and what you know about music.
I am going to see you for the next 5 months, but
I hope we can keep in touch when you leave the country, for e-mail
or by letter.
Thanks for all!!
Good luck!!
Maria 15/04/04
Note
from
Mr Evans
All students call me Craig. It is a very common thing for students
to call their professor by their nombre (name).
They even go
so far as to give their favourite teachers their usual greeting,
a kiss to the right hand side of the face. An air kiss really. Even
men!!
This is an
excellent letter from someone who is studying English as a second
language.
This is a common
voice from the children here, which is usually followed by 'When
do you teach our class?'...'I want to do music now. I don't want
to wait. Why not now!!' (a very Argentinean approach). Que no ahora!!
