C.I. class 9/17/15: Beauty

Hello current returning, and past, C.I. students!

I am excited about the start of our new semester!  Last night was a lot of fun!

To those of you who are returning:  Welcome back!!  I was so glad to see all of you, and so happy to see you welcoming the new students and sharing your encouragement and words of wisdom!  

To those of you past students who can't return to C.I. class this semester:  We'll miss you a lot!  Please keep in touch with me!  I'd love to hear from you!  (Also, please let me know if you want me to keep you on the mailing list for class emails...  I will be making the new email list soon, and if you write me this week to say you'd like to keep getting C.I. class emails, I'll keep you on it!).  

Here's our first TED talk of the semester; it's on our new subject, "Beauty," and we'll be discussing this talk next week on 9/17!:

Cameron Russell:  Looks aren't everything.  Believe me, I'm a model.

Sincerely, Abbie

PS  If you know any of the new students, please let them know that I'll be writing to them as well as soon as I get their email addresses!  :)  

07-09 POTLUCK PARTY 2015

Dear CI class, this is Jonas writing to all of our new and old friends in CI class. 

Our new semester has started already since last week and I'd like to welcome all of the new faces this semester! I'm sure you can find some veterans here and they are all excellent, enthusiastic learners. Jerry, our class leader, has always put tons of effort to help us gather together and deal with our class affairs. Sometimes he would bring some aromatic coffee to share with all of us. If you're lucky, don't forget to bring your own mug! You might also be able to see Barrett, Jeff, Julie and Hans in class. They are all friendly, curious and passionate classmates! Furthermore, we're so lucky to have Abbie as our teacher who has always devoted herself to leading and helping us in our English learning. From time to time, she would sing us a song with her beautiful voice! 

The last class of CI class each semester has turned out to be our very special tradition - POTLUCK. Bring your homemade food or anything delicious from any shops to share. Have you seen Hans' fishball soup or smelled Jerry's coffee? If you just join us this semester, please bring your favorite dish when the time comes!

Coffee smells great and tastes even greater! Food looks tasty, doesn't it? We all look happy, don't we? What are you waiting for? Come join us in CI class. See you there then!
