How have you been recently? Have you got a girlfriend yet? We haven’t met since we graduated from middle school. I miss you as desert miss water.??…… Since I graduated from middle school I worked as a choreman in a garment factory which made jeans. The job was heavy and it paid little, I quit it after a half year, then I went to learn English instead. All my teachers were foreigners and they liked me very much. I used to be the talkative and the youngest one in class (mostly my classmates have married or at least 5 years older than me.) Otherwise, I kept diary and stories in English. That’s why I can get such a outstanding improvement with my English, I think! I signed up my course for one year and it cost me 3000RMB. I left school after 8 months and worked in a mall garment factory as a clerk without any job experience. The job paid ok and my boss treated me ok, but it was much heavier than the first job
