Dear Dalal:
ReplyDeleteI received your letter that you got some problems about your friend's wedding and your son's school. First, I think you should go to the wedding because your friend want you to be there. Here is a good way if you are absent, you had better give her a wedding present.
Second, you must argue with the teacher because wedding is important to you, or you can go to the wedding only one day, so it won't be absent for a long time.
Dear Alicia
ReplyDeleteI think that if you can, you had better go back your country to care of your grandmother. Because it is not a long time and if you can't see your grandmother in lifetime, you will very regret.
And you should tell your parents that your grandmother is very important for you, and you will study hard after you come back to US again.
If I were you, I have gone to my country to care of grandmother.
Good luck.
Dear Seva,
ReplyDeleteI received your letter. First, I want to say that " you are so lucky",you can make your dreams come true. In fact, at the first time when I read your letter, I do not understand much you feeling. In addition, I knew that you felt boring with luxury life, you want to do some things that will make you happy. I just think some advices :
- You could come to some poor countries to build school for poor children. I think you will be happy to know that some of student in your school are talents.
- you could support money to broad of charities that supply foods for poor people, who are hungry. At that moment, you will feel that your money is useful.
I hope You will feel happier.
Dear Alicia ,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your e-mail . I’m sorry to hear that news , I know how much the family mean to you as I know this situation really can affect on you .
But , Since you are here studying , it will be too difficult to back your country . The regulation of the studying as foreigner students is tough . If you leave now may be you will have to spend 7-10 days over there while you are loosing classes here , this not the only main point .
How will you feel if you see your grandmother very tired and sick ?
in the main time I suggest that you should call her regularly , she will feel comfortable to know you are taking care of here even if you are far away and busy .
You should focus on your study , you don’t want to lose your goal and spend extra time in the LCC program.
You have a chance to visit family at cultural festival and thanksgiving holiday , you will have about 6 free days connected with the weekend , I know that is not enough to spend vacation but I hope it is enough to see grandmother and comeback , as you know the final exams is in 3 Dec , you must be her in the final exam .
Thanks for you letter and I hope your grandmother get better .

dear LILI.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry about your feeling. In fact, I also realize that you are a serious student. In addition, I could give some advices about your studying problems because I think your studying plan has some thing wrong. Could I share with you the way I study?
- You could prepare the lesson before you come to class ( this is 1 time that you have learn the lesson)
- you may make some questions that you have to understand more about lesson. It will help you remember the lesson longer ( the second time, i learn about it)
- you could complete the exercises and find more exercises to practice ( the third time)
-You may speak and read the exercise by your self ( the fourth time)
after 4 times, you can understand and remember it in a long time.
I hope this method is useful with you.
Dear LIHN,
ReplyDeleteI read your letter and I understand your situation .For that,if you want to built up your blood without gaining weight ,you could take iron from fruits and vegtables. you should eat so much green vegtables such as ,spinach and parsley.Also, some fruits have much iron as figs and apricot special if they are dehydrated . In other hand, you had better quit drinking tea and coffee which these reduce the boddy's absorption of iron.
I wish you will feel better.Take care
Dear Dalia
ReplyDeleteHi. How are you doing?
I am sorry that lately you have bad situations. You have reached a critical juncture of life. Therefore, you'd better think over discreetly. From first time on, your husband and you didn't have bad relationship. It has been getting worse since you lost your job. Besides, your husband and you know each other better than any other people and love your children very much. Henceforth, your husband and you should find out the cause of the problem, and discuss the problem each other seriously. Excessive thought couldn't help you. If your family overcomes these latest situations, the relationship of your family will get stronger and stronger.
Good luck to your family.
Sincerely,
Jungim Park

Dear Alicia
Hi. How are you doing?
I am sorry that lately you have problems. Your grandmother really wants to see you, but if you go back to your country, will she still be pleased? Maybe, she might regret it. I think your parents' opinion is right in a certain point of view. Therefore, you'd better listen to your parents' opinion. But if your grandmother's life is at risk, you'd better go back to your country. That will be the only way not to regret forever. Now, I suggest you to check your grandmother's condition.
Good luck to you.
Sincerely,
Jungim Park
Dear LILI:
ReplyDeleteI think you are really hard work student.The first reason is you come to class on time every day and you dont have any absent without emergency.That is what i cant do and its great!
What i want do is share some way to imporve scores and speak more good.
1.Homwork is the most important job to imporve your English that after we finish our class every day.You have to finish it carefully.
2.Make more firends who can speake English with u,speak a lot on the class and make more question for ask your teacher.If you want to improve your talking also you can watch lot of T.V. or moves,they are both really help.
3.Work hard on your class time,and do more and more exercise after class.

Dear Alicia:
ReplyDeleteI think that it will be better if you call your parent an talk to them about that,and it would be better if you call your grandma day by day, to made her feel a little better, and after that, you can make a chosse with your paret about to retur to china or not.

Dear Dalia..
ReplyDeleteI received your litter today. Thanks to right to me . And I am so sorry to hare this bad situation from you. I hope that I can help you. First of all, you should find someone to be between you and your husband, he or she may do something for you both. Also you have to try to toke to your husband again and you may find a solution. However, if you can’t toke to him and you think there is no solution, I think you should get divorced . Because if you have so many problem with him your life every day will get wariest. So had better if you get divorced . Also you can try to make arrangements for your kids . if he don’t want to do it , so you have to go to the court . I am sour they will help you to have a solution.
Wish you and your family the best…
Sincerely,
Dalal.
Dear Jung!
ReplyDeleteI understand your situation and feel sorry about it. I really appreciate your kindness, takt and frendliness, but sometimes you need to protect your own interests too. Therefore I think that it is very easy to solve your problem.
At first you can talk with your friend, to share with the problem that you have together and to try to solve it. Maybe she'll give you some advice. If you will see that her advice is not convenient for you and she doesn't want to make concessions, you have to talk with her more seriously. You can tell her: "My dear friend. I love you very much and value with our friendship. But I cann't do something to a bad for me. If you don't want to buy a new car or to get bus to the University you have to love parking and deal with it."
I will be glad if my advice helps you.
If you have any other problems, don't hesitate to contact me.
Kind regards,
Mrs Rich, Lucky and Happy
Dear Dalal,
ReplyDeleteI understand your feeling.
First, you should tell your husband or your relative to help you take care of your son while you are in the wedding, who you can believe and can take care of the boy well. Telling them about your son's school time, his habit and hobby so that they can do to make your son don't feel sad without you some days. Also you should make a schedule and book in the ticket soon, so you can spend and save the time effectively in your friend's wedding and come back to your son soon.
In addition, you need to call your son's teacher and a person who replace you take care of him to know exactly about him. and often call him, too. your son will feel that you are next to him.
Last, you need to keep your heath well to do all plans successful.
"Happy life" to your friend.
"Good Luck" to you!
Regards.
Dear David,
Everyone also need to be independent, and also need everybody else in their life, especially, their close people. In my opinion, First I think you and your mother need to talk to each other to solve a problem. And then, you should explain about your plan of independent life. You know, all parents often worry about their son although you are an adult person. And their have had experience life, they are afraid of your future if you are in wrong ways. Besides, they will give you some useful advices.
You should show yourself to them with good studying results and behavior, to they can be proud of you. By the way, they will agree and support your life.
Otherwise, you can try to life with your uncle before you life alone. You will learn some thing from people who you life with.
The life is more difficult than we thought, and also more interesting than we can imagine when we life and share with our close people.
Good luck! ^_^
Regard,

Dear Trang,
ReplyDeleteOver the years, I have long expertise in this field. I know exactly your feeling and it’s clearly your dilemma not because your abilities. Upon coming to the United States, many international students experience a number of unique challenges that are mainly caused by moving to a new country. Some of the challenges are transitory in nature, such as adjusting to new foods, climate, and types of housing. However, there are additional issues that are more challenging for international students to overcome and can also impact their academic performance. The passion, enthusiasm, and expectations they had with regard to studying abroad can quickly turn to fear, distress, and anxiety.
Language difficulties are another big challenge for international students. A lack of English skills is likely to affect international students' academic performance. You need to work on your self confidence. Try to adapting into this new society. However, don’t worry you will learn the English by your hard works. Believe me you will!!!
Best Regards,
Prof. Ammar
Dear Fatimah
ReplyDeleteFatimah I think that isn’t a big problem but it’s very uncomfortable for you when you look jealous between your children.In addition, You should talk to your eldest son and explain that sometimes you have to buy things for his brother that he isn’t using or needing.However, You Had better put character to his malcrideses.
Dear Alicia:
ReplyDeleteI received your last letter. I’m sorry to hear that. And I know that it’s very difficult to make a choice when you are in this situation. I am also a Chinese, I know family is very important for every Chinese people. However, every family member is very important in your life. But you know it’s also very difficult for Chinese students have a chance study in the U.S. And you are study in the U.S now, so you must cherish this chance. By the way, you said you parents don’t want to tell you anything about your grandmother, I think you parents don’t disturb you, they want you focus on you study. If I were you, I would study hard. It’s the best way for you to console them. And you can make call to your grandmother. At the end, I hope your grandmother will recover soon.

Dear Mrs. Cin.
I’m writing this letter because I really need you help.
Since I moved to this new house, I’ve been arguing with my neighbor in from of my house.
From the begging they seemed to be lovely people until I find their two dogs.
The problem is that almost everyday, they realese these two animals outside and they come straight to my yard.
Nowadays my yard is a mess because they damage all of it.
They made holes in my garden, they destroyed my flowers without addition all the “shit” they leave in front of my house.
I just wanted to have a nice yard, with flower to decorate my home.
I tried once to have a nicely conversation with my neighbor but they said:” It’s the animal nature, there Is nothing we can do”.
Since then, I avoid meeting them when I m leaving home because when I meet them I can’t stand to be patient and I start to yelling at them because of all the mess in my yard. And worse, I’m afraid one day I’m going to put some poison in my yard to kill these peaces of evil.
Please ma’am, I need to find a solution to this problem.
I can’t stand this situation anymore.
What do I need to do?
Bring me a light for my desperation.
Sincerely
Mr. Garcia
Dear David
ReplyDeleteDavid, You have the solution in your hands.First, You have to get very good grades in your test.Secod, You must come aunt's home early every day.Third, You had better know how to choose your friends.Finally, If you follow my advice your mother will know that you are big and you can live alone. In addition, You shoul have talked to your mom before you come to live with your aunt's family.
Dear Seva:
ReplyDeleteI received your last letter. It is unbelievable, at the same time, it is really amazing and you are a lucky guy. I’d like give you some pieces of advice. You know that, there are still many kids, who can’t afford the school; it is the best way to spend your money and help children to have a rare chance to enjoy the school education. Furthermore, there are a lot of things that money couldn’t afford, therefore, just enjoy your life, and share your fortune with your family and friends. All in all, I am a person who hasn’t had such great money, so I can’t give your many advices. Just enjoy yourself, remember that life is always good.
Dear Trang,
ReplyDeleteFor most of students who come to study the English program in a new environment,they will have the same problem with you . All the students in Lcc have the same goal that is to improve their english skills and make friends with everyone here.You should attend more acctives and make more friends.I think that they will be very interested in the culture of your country .When you communicate with them in English ,not only you will know more knowledge ,but also you will practice your oral english and build your confidence .Donot worry about the mistake on grammar ,spelling and speaking,because everyone will make the mistake.What you should do is to speak and I believe you will correct each other.If others speak fast,you can not catch them ,you should tell them .In addition ,everyone will be a little nervous when they make a speech for many persons.if you can practise more ,the nervouse will gone.Believe youself and think that nothing is impossible .
Dear Lili
ReplyDeleteHello~
my good classmate Lili♡
Before few minutes ago, I read your mail.
I'm sorry about that you couldn't enter the upper class. I definitely know that you always study hard than other students. However, I think you seem to be chosing wrong way.
Lili you should change your study method if you want to get better result. If you will not corret, you result in same thing repeatedly. It is unproductive to you.
And also, you could to put more time in your study. You might be study hard, but you shoud consider that other students also study hard.
Lili you are supposed to get good result before finish this semester if you never give up.
I believe you
See you tomorrow^^
Dear Trang
ReplyDeleteI carefully tried to understand your problems and I want to give you a piece of advice. You don’t have to feel bad about your ability to speak English! It’s not your native language. The best way to improve quickly your speaking is to overcome to your fear of the people and go to them. You should better to not pay attention of what people think about the way you speak or your mistakes! Despite your mistakes you ought to try hard to speak more and more with those mistakes and ask people to feel free to correct you! That will improve your speech in the discussion! Roughly speaking, keep in mind that it is by making mistakes that we learn more.
Dear Ingrid
ReplyDeleteI read your letter. You should cook in your home I know you are busy.However,you could prepare your food for two days and heat it when you want it.If you can't cook at all ,you had better to do exercise as you can because we know a fast food has too much fat.

Dear Joon.
ReplyDeleteHi~
I read your letter, and I understand your feeling. Sometimes Houston is boring. Even you live in dormitory, you feel much more boring more than me.
However,you should endure buy a car. If you stay a long time in Houston, you ought to buy a car, but you are going to go back to Korea on December. It is coming near. You had better save your money(of course, mee too ^^),because you are a international student.
You could find interest in UH campus, and you could make many friend in your dorm. These things make better life than now.
I really hope to my advice help to solve your problem.
See you tomorrow~
Dear Leon.
ReplyDeleteI will try to solve your problem the best way that i can.
First of all I think ,honestly , that you should be very glad and proud of earning the possibility to be here in U.S.A ,Houston, as an LCC student.
Getting a student visa and staying in the United States is a nice important point too:-)
You are right, the United States is a country with a lot of oppurtunities.
You could do things that you have always dreamed about. You could certaintly develop yourself as well.
Moreover, you are going to succeed at every kind of job or business if you choose and want to!
China is the country that you were born in and I completly understand you, having family and close friends, but you know what?!
You have to meet different friends here, from all over the world and different cultures too.
You might start to understand different people, with unique thoughts!
So take this wonderfull chance to be here!
Wishing you good luck.
You can do it!
-yours karen.
What’s up with you, dear JC!
ReplyDeleteI just come to see your letter and it touched me so much! So, let me just tell you something! You must never say you can’t because if you want you can and I know you can! I suppose you must have so much fun most of the time, particularly during the nights, consequently, you can’t come at time in class!Although you should try hard to come right. On the other hand, you are young, fresh, hot and you need to enjoy your life, It’s right. I understand that. But I think the most important now, it is your studies because studies are the right way for you to make enough money in order to keep enjoying your life how you will want! So you should better focus on your studies by coming first in class at time, and then, by the time real moment of the fun comes, you will already make plenty money and do what you will want in your life and nobody won’t be able to tell you nothing because it will be your own money and you will be independent!
Friendly Rayesse,
Dear Dalal
ReplyDeleteI received your letter and read it.
firstly, you should ask yourself a question that what is more important your son's future or your friend's wedding?!!. In my view, if your friend is a real friend, she will understand your situation and excuse you. You mustn't go because that will cost your son a year of his life. I don't think the wedding deserve this.
Best wishes
Ahmed

ReplyDeleteDear Alice
I've received your letter and I read it.
I understand your situation because I had been in the same situation for many times.I think that the family is most important thing in the life. As well, there will be another parties. You should attend the wedding because it is only a day in the life. Also, the family deserves more than attend the family's events.
Best wishes

Dear dalia!
ReplyDeleteHow are you? I understand your problem and I will try to solve your problem.I think that between your husband and you there is a problem of comprehension.Because you have a difficult time,so you are very upset against your husband.You had better stay peaceful.You should talk with your housband to find a good solution.You ought to do it for your children.And you have to pray for GOD to get his help.I wish that my advices will be good fopr you!
Dear lihn!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry for your problem! I think that you have to listen first your doctor because your healthy is more important.However you should see a nutritionist if you want to loose weigh.You are supposed to eat vegetables and beef meat and drink much juice to have more blood.I think that these advices can help you to be less confused.Good healthy!
Dear Ingrid,
ReplyDeleteI got your problem. My advice are: You should change to a diet. You should eat less than now. You should put your snacks away. You should give snack up. You should try to find sometime to do sports. You'd better do not eat anything after 8 p.m.
Oh thanks a lot Rayesse.enjoy your life by yourself xD
ReplyDeleteDear Lili:
ReplyDeleteI read your letter and I will try my best to give you some advices. I consider that you are a good student because you study very hard, maybe you can change your learning methods. For example, you should take notes, record the lesson when teacher was teaching, discuss with your classmates before the test. It's normal to feel depression when you got poor score, but you must encourage yourself and don't give up. Try your best and you will be succeed.
Well dear Alice,
ReplyDeleteI noticed you are in a difficult situation.
You know what, in my opinion, I think you should consult your heart.
You need to my these question to yourself.
What is more important for you, your friends or your family?
It could be ease for me to be hypocrite and say that the family is the basis of everything and therefore, you must stay among them during your cousin’s weeding but I’m not this kind of person.
So honey, just talk to yourself, think and …. I’m sure you will find the answer.
Good luck!!!
Cheers.
Mrs. Rolly
Dear Mr.Garcia
ReplyDeleteYou told that you talked to your neighbors and they didn't do anything about it right so i have a sample idea. You should take it to court and file a law suit on them for trestpassing your home and for destroying your garden and you will succesfully win the case. If people don't come by the easy way they will come by the hard way that is by law you know.
best wishes,
Abdul
you're welcome!you too JC!Keep enjoying your life by yourself!!lol
