Answer 1

【答案】Dear David,

Knowing that you are delayed in Wuhan and feel a sense of anxiety and depression, I’m really getting upset about it and writing to convey my concern to you.

Undoubtedly, the novel virus has a great impact on our study and life. However, dear friend, there's no sense worrying about it too much. Faced with the present situation, you should respond actively to it. Firstly, you are supposed to stay optimistic. It’s our attitude that counts. Believe that we will definitely defeat the epidemic in the near future. Additionally, it’ s essential for you to take advantage of time to study. So precious is time that we can't afford to waste it. We can have access to the online courses. Finally, you can do some physical exercise indoors to relax yourself and keep fit.

I'm firmly convinced that we can get through the hard time. Let's work hand in hand to overcome anxiety and do some bits. Looking forward to seeing you as soon as possible.

Yours faithfully,

Li Hua
