Hi David

How are things? I’m sorry I haven’t been in touch for

ages! Especially because I heard you had an accident

with your motorbike – I had no idea! Roberto has

just sent me an email about it It sounds terrible I

hope you’re OK now

Guess what? I finished college last month I’m so

happy I haven’t got my final results yet, but I feel

quite confident and optimistic about them We did

a final year project and I got a good mark for that

Now I have to decide what to do next I need a little

holiday first, though I can’t go far because I haven’t

got much money at the moment

Anyway, I was thinking that it would be great if

Roberto and I came to visit you one day Does that

sound OK? Can you get out of the house? We could

go for a burger or something If not, don’t worry, we

can just see you at home It will be good to catch up

Just send me a message and we can arrange

something,

See you soon

The person I would most like to say thank you

my favourite teacher in High School and I always

remember him, standing at the front of the class,

waving his hands around dramatically when he was

explaining things to us

I really had a bad time at school, failing exams

continuously, and feeling miserable about it

Generally, the other teachers didn’t expect me to

do well in their subjects Mr Moss was different

‘Tom!’ he’d shout at me ‘Listen to this Tell me what

you think’ Nobody usually asked my opinion about

anything Often, I didn’t really know what I thought

about the book or poem we were studying But Mr Moss always listened, holding his hand to his chin, looking at me as if I was speaking intelligently ‘Good point, good point!’ he would say

That was the beginning of my self-confidence in school and in the world Everything changed, so thank you, Mr Moss
