太极英语微课堂-18（总第18讲）

【太極英語微課堂-17】如何用地道的美語寫信
An Email from Joe to Shifu
 
Dear Shifu,
How are you and Shimu doing? Are you back home from Shijie’s Taiji School? How is her school doing? Does she have many students this year?
I have been back in San Francisco for two weeks, but I have already started to miss you and Shifu a lot.
I have been looking for a job. A Kongfu studio offered me a part-time job to teach Taiji on the weekends. It’s 8 hours per day, and I am paid by the hour. The salary is not very good, but I plan to take the job. Promoting Taiji and Taiji culture in the US is one of the missions you gave me before I left China, and I have promised to carry on with the missions.
I will tell you more about the job as time goes on. Let’s keep in touch.
Wish you all the best!
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Joe
 
Joe给师父的邮件
 
亲爱的师父，
  你和师母怎么样？你们从师姐的太极学校回来了吗？她的学校怎么样？她今年的生源多吗？
  我回到旧金山两个星期，但我已经开始想您和师母了。
  我一直在找工作。一个功夫学校让我周末给他们教太极，每天八个小时，按小时付费。工资不是很高，但我打算做这个工作。在美国推广太极和太极文化是我离开中国之前，您交付给我的使命，我承诺过要承担起这些使命。
我会告您们更多关于这个工作的进展情况。让我们保持联系！
 谨祝万事如意！
 期盼您们的回复！
 
Joe
