¡¡¡¡Dear Mr. Seaton£¬

¡¡¡¡Thank you very much for taking me with you on that splendid outing to London. It was the first time that I had seen the Tower or any of the other famous sights. If I&££39;d gone alone, I couldn&££39;t have seen nearly as much, because I wouldn&££39;t have known my way about.

¡¡¡¡The weather was splendid on that day, which I thought was rare. I still remember some people told me that in Britain there was weather and no climate. During the same day, it might snow in the morning, rain at noon, shine in the afternoon and be windy before the night falls. So I think I was lucky.

¡¡¡¡I think the river trip was the best thing of all. London really came alive for me as we saw it from the Thames during that wonderful journey down to Greenwich. It was all tremendously exciting £­ a day that I shall never forget.

¡¡¡¡Thank you for giving me such a great birthday treat.

¡¡¡¡Yours sincerely,

¡¡¡¡Linda Chen

¡¡¡¡Dear Mr. Wang,

¡¡¡¡Thank you for taking the time to write your wonderful letter in support of MCEA

¡¡¡¡(Maywood Chinese Education Association). Your letter clearly articulates all the major reasons children in Maywood will benefit from studying the Chinese language as part of their elementary school education. It provides invaluable support that will help making bilingual Chinese education a reality in Maywood public schools.

¡¡¡¡Although MCEA would like to see Palo Alto public schools implement the first bilingual Chinese kindergarten class in September of 2006, we have learned that the school district must take the time to understand how a new program will affect existing educational offerings, and to validate community interest. Nevertheless, MCEA, with more than 70 members, will continue to actively promote bilingual Chinese education in the Palo Alto public schools and will keep you apprised of the progress we make.

¡¡¡¡Thanks again for sending a letter in support of MCEA. We&££39; will continue to do all we can to realize this program both for families of Chinese descent and those with a general interest in participating in the growing economic power of China.

¡¡¡¡Yours sincerely,

¡¡¡¡George Chen
