    Dear Luo laoshi,

    Thank you so much for a great first semester! I feel as though I've learned an impossibly large amount of Chinese for just a few months. You're the best teacher I've ever had or will ever have for the following reasons:

    1. You used really advanced, yet effective technology.
    2. You spoil us by getting us fancy notepads, calligraphy paper and calligraphy pens. You also make REALLY fun Jeopardy games.
    3. You are patient - a key factor when working with misbehaved little children.
    4. You strive to perfect everything. You even made a homework survey!!
    5. You are hilarious (i.e. Youde - a little gree man!!) and much much more...
    6. You care. If someone looks sad, you notice and inquire.

    Overall, thank you so much for being such an amazing teacher. I can't wait to learn even more Chinese afer break!

                        Love, 
                    Charlotte
