Dear Sir,

　　It is 15 years  1 I saw you last. I 2 you so much. It is a strong wish that  3 me to write to you.

　　I'm 30 years old now, and I have  4 a teacher. You are my first teacher in my life. God knows how much time you spent  5 me, a naughty boy. You take all your pupils  6 your own children. Do you still remember the terrible troubles I made in your class? There are  7 argument between us. Only years later  8 that I had made you weep. My ignorance (无知)  9 you, however, you did not  10 a single word about this in my graduation appraisal record (毕业鉴定),  11 , instead, was full  12 your phrases of my strong points.

　　In 1974, I finished my primary school. On the day of my leaving, you took me  13 the gate of my high school, reminding me  14 on my red scarf (经领巾) properly before my registration (报到). Yes, I entered the high school with my red scarf properly  15 and later went to university as you had expected. It happened by chance that after my college graduation, I became a teacher myself  16 . I have taught English at the Shanghai Railway Medical College for seven years. I enjoy  17 and I love my students.

　　To tell you the truth, if I  18 a child now. I'd like  19 your pupil again. I'm looking forward to  20 you one day.

With best wishes

sincerely yours

Qianlan
