以下是我的加拿大外教老师Lily写的一封邮件，比较随意和自然的交流：
Hi Jennie,
How are things going, sorry I missed the time to call but it is too late to call, but just wanted to connect and see how you are doing. Exams finished I bet you feel a lot less stressed. What are your plans now? We are heading to the states at the end of June...we hope as things are not yet finalized for our return to China. It is our hope to head to Changsha on the 15th and spend a few days there...we will then be heading to Shenzhen to do our documents that will take some time and so I think we will be spending a bit of time there until it is done. We have yet to book our flights and hope to be home the end of June...wonder if you could get an American visa to visit in Virginia...otherwise you could visit with us in Canada when we arrive there which is the beginning of August...not sure your plans but let us know...we will be driving across America to Canada so could be a fun road trip..will be on Vancouver island the beginning of August.
