HE SAID, MARIE, MARIE, HOLD ON TIGHT

And when we were children, staying at the archduke's,
My cousin's, he took me out on a sled,
And I was frightened. He said, Marie,
Marie, hold on tight. And down we went.
In the mountains, there you feel free.
I read, much of the night, and go south in the winter.

刘凤！我怎么能忘记你！我的中文退步了。每天和美国人交往，我把中文字都忘得一干二净，可是我没忘记你。你好吗？下雪了！外面一片空白。我在报纸上读到，中国好冷。你要保暖ok?
对了！我又搬家了。现在和十三个美国女生和一个上海女生住在一个大屋子里。我们也有一只小花猫，她的名字是"chopper", 翻译就是"大刀"或直升飞机吧。我当然爱和我的新加坡朋友享受天伦之了。可是，在我的新家，我不用代表新加坡人，我不被困在那个小组，这是一个自由吧。
