Dear Ronnie,
Thanks for your letter, I’m fine. You said that “time flies” in your previous letter, but for me is the opposite. I’ve started missing you so much since you flew to Singapore, and a day to me seems like ages. Hope you’re fine too in Singapore.
During the Mid Autumn Festival, my whole family, including my aunts, uncles, and cousins, went to the Peak. We rode on the Peak Tram, which I had wished to ride on for years. The view was great up there –by the bird’s eye view, we got the panorama of Hong Kong. We spent our whole day there. At night, we had dinner in Café Deco, facing the bright, white moon. I felt extremely pleasant and peaceful. The only pitiful thing was that, you, were not beside me.
You said that you had read 30 books so far, and I just couldn’t imagine how you did that. All English books! But I will not surrender. Let’s keep on reading more books and improving our English standard! As you said, people in Singapore all speak good English. Just don’t despise yourself or be frustrated. I’ m sure that one day your English must be better than theirs. At least, you’re on a par with me now. In addition, I’ve heard that the accent of the Singaporeans is strange. I hope you can keep your own British accent, like mine.
I know that you must miss Carmel, the place with our memory filled. The classmates, including Peter, Paul, Mary and so on haven’t changed a bit. They fill the classroom with laughter and happiness as how it is used to be, though I feel a bit lonely without you. I’ll tell them that you’re fine. You know what? The disciplinary teacher has changed this year, from Mr Chui to Miss Au Yueng. I stopped eating sausages from that time —you get that? Your words ‘the Carmel Exercise’ make me feel a bit dizzily nostalgic. You remember in the past we used to hold each other’s hands to do the Carmel Exercise, with the whole class staring with envy, and with a smile at the corner of our lips? But they were all over.
For the 45th Anniversary, we got many events to celebrate it. The biggest events were the game booths and the two nights of celebration. The performances were great! There were many students’ performances like the Orchestra, the Choir, Chinese Dancing, Chinese martial arts, gymnastics and so on. And of course there were the teacher’s performances! For example, Mr Lau and Mrs Yam sang really well. What a pity that you couldn’t participate in the events. There was also the ‘Sports Fortnight’ which has just passed. Teacher and students competed with each other in different events. How exciting they were! Our English teacher pitifully had an accident in the girls’ football competition. From that time onwards, she can’t talk anymore. So in the English lessons, we eat, drink, play, chat and do whatever we like and she can do nothing to bother us! She can just sit there, with her hands waving and her face becoming distorted and red. How funny she is!
As Christmas is coming, I’m buying presents for my classmates and friends. The only bad thing is that I’ve to study again as the exam is coming soon. Will you come back in this Christmas holiday? At least, let me have a look at your perfectly beautiful face, and your smile. Take care and write back soon.
Love,
Sunny
