  3. A Letter from My Student Dear Professor Tang, Long time no see! I really miss you and the university life! I’m writing today in order to tell you something really happy to me. A couple of months ago, I got to know a pretty girl. I like her very much, but I have got at least three enemies. You know I’m not rich or smart or handsome or anything of that kind, so I was not sure if I could win her heart. But one day it happened that she, my enemies and I went out together for a meeting. At the meeting she gave a talk and there were a few long-nose Americans interested in her talk, so they went up and asked her some questions. She was very embarrassed because her oral English is not good enough. My enemies were not able to help her, because they could not speak good English, either! I understood this was my great opportunity and I seized it. I worked as interpreter for the pretty girl, who, of course, is now my girl-friend. Professor Tang, when I was at college, you used to tell us how important oral English is, but back then I was quite doubtful about it. But now I know you are absolutely right. Sincerely Yours, He Xiaoming (now working with Canon) 南方医科大学外国语学院
