Dear Dr. Joe,

Sorry, I will not participate in your wonderful writing class 7/26 and 8/2, because my brother and I are going to a camp in Confucius' hometown and will be staying there for two weeks.

I will be washing my clothes with my hands. Scrubbing and drying, finally hanging it up. I will be visiting 7 cities and doing a lot of activities.

My brother and I are the youngest boy and girl in the camp; most of the students are high school and college students.

At the end of the camp we will take a Chinese final exam to test our skills of what we learned.

I will try to make up the class by reading the PPT and listen to mp3.

I will miss you and your fabulous class.

Sent from your student
