Again I would like to thank all those students who took the time to write messages of support and encouragement in my feedback.  

This time I was chosen for a Rookie Award for my Open Conversation lesson and I am pleased and grateful.  In this lesson I have met all kinds of people with many different interests, tried many different approaches, and it has been a wonderful experience.  "Rookie" means I am still learning, and this is true enough.  I promise to continue to improve my teaching online, just as you are working hard to improve your English.  

A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of us!
