Dear Hong-min,

How have you been? It's been a long time since you wrote me a letter. I miss you a lot. I started going to 1 in September. My classes begin at 7:00 every evening from Monday to Friday. So far I have studied very hard in every subject. Of all the subjects, math is the most useful to me. Other subjects, like History and Chinese Art, are difficult. 2 is much easier. I'm having a lot of fun with the new language. Maybe I can talk to your American friends some day.

I enjoy my life so much! I almost forget that I am a 60-year-old woman. I feel that I am 3 than before.

Best wishes,

Mom
