祝你一切都顺利！

Bob

Dear Bob,

Here's the new syllabus for you. :)

ellen

好的，没问题：）

Ellen

Ellen,

真对不起这么晚告诉你，我这个星期不能上课。我明天很早得下班，工作忙极了。我们下个星期继续吧，好不好？希望你一切都好。

Bob

Dear Bob,

Here's the new lesson plan for you. :)

Ellen

Hi Bob,

Please enter "nothing" in the search box, you can find the lesson. :)

Ellen

Hi Ellen,

The link to lesson 1, week 4 "It's Nothing" appears to be broken.  Even after finding the lesson through the search box, I could not get in.  The other two lessons were fine.

Hope you're having a nice weekend and I will talk to you Tuesday.

Bob

好的，我收到了。谢谢！新年快乐！

Ellen ：D

Hi Ellen - sorry I cannot do a lesson this week.  I sent you a separate email. Can we continue next week at the usual time? I think we are on Week 3 of the schedule below?

Happy New Year!

Bob

Dear Bob,

I cannot give you lesson tomorrow because I'll leave office an hour earlier. I'll make up for the lesson later. Wish you a Merry Christmas! Let's talk next week. :)

ellen

Bob,

祝你和你的家人感恩节快乐！

没关系，我们下周再上课。我已经给你写email了。

:)

Ellen

Ellen：
你好！我今天得加班，所以不能上课。真对不起这么晚告诉你。这周感恩节快到了，我们最好下周见面，好不好？祝你感恩节快乐！
Bob
P.S. Do you have any late afternoon timeslots (上海时间) available for our class? That would be same day early morning for me, and I could attend more consistently. What is the latest appointment you have available, on which day? 谢谢！...oh, and thanks for sending the new lessons.

Dear Bob,

Here's the new lesson plan for you. :)

Ellen

Hi Ellen,

When you get a chance sometime this week could you please send me the next four weeks worth of lessons?  I'd like to preview the vocabulary this weekend.  As for our next lesson, I understand that we'll be reviewing week 4 of the most recent list you sent me.  Have a nice week!

Bob

Hi Bob,

Yes, next week,let's review that Intermediate lesson left today. :)

Ellen

Hi Ellen,

Yes-9:15am Tuesday Shanghai time works for me!  Could we please postpone our review of the Intermediate Lesson "Communication in the Office" until next week?  Since this is a short week, I won't have had enough time to study it.  Thanks, and talk to you soon.

Bob

Dear Bob,

From this week , our lesson time will change to Tuesday at 9.15am (China time). So talk to you tomorrow morning,ok? :)

Hi Ellen - I've forgotten whether our next lesson is Monday or Tuesday this week.  Could you please remind me?  I know we've switched to your morning/my evening.  If you can do a 5:30 pm lesson, I'd be willing to get up a little earlier and do 4:30am my time.  Thanks!  Bob

Hi Bob,

Here's the new lesson list. :)

Ellen

Ni hao, Bob

Wo huilai gongzuo le. Dui, jintian women shangke. Xuexi Week4. :)

Ellen

PS-I believe we are on week 4, Morning Hygiene, etc.  Hao bu hao?

Hi Ellen,

Hope you had a nice holiday!  We are meeting tomorrow? Wo hen qidai jixu women de zhongwen ke!

Bob

好的，谢谢！:-D

Hi Ellen,

Enjoy your National Holiday vacation and I will talk to you on October 15th.

Bob

Dear Bob,

Since Oct 1 to 8 is China's National holiday vacation, we don't work then. Then we have to postpone our next call to to Oct 15. We could double up on calls  for a few weeks. Please remind me at that time. :)

As for the message in your counseling tab, just leave it.

I hope you enjoy your vacation!

Ellen

Hi Ellen,

Due to my upcoming business trip and vacation, I can no longer meet on Tuesday and need to postpone our next call to the week of October 5th, but I think you might be on holiday that week?  Please let me know whether we can resume our regular weekly calls on Thursday, October 8th, or whether we need to wait until October 15th. Additionally, is there any chance we can double up on calls (twice weekly?) for a few weeks in October to catch up?

Finally, there is a message here in my counselling tab asking me to complete a call scheduling form to schedule a teacher for me.  Do I need to let someone know that I already have a teacher?

Thanks, and have a nice couple of weeks!

Bob

HI Bob,

Yes, you can. I'm glad I could continue to help you with your Chinese studies. 

Ellen

Hi Ellen,

I'd like to take advantage of the August promotion (free upgrade from premium to guided) by purchasing the 12 month subscription to begin when my current subscription expires 2009-Nov-01.  Do you know if this is possible?

Thanks,

Bob

Dear Bob,

Here's the new lesson list. :-)

Ellen

Dear Bob,

Here's the 3rd lesson plan. :-)

Zhou mo yu kuai!

Bob,

好的，我已经加你太太的Skype了。：）

－Ellen

Ellen：
你好！你这周怎么样？我很不错，可是我的电脑死机了。真的！我明天用我爱人的电脑，skype account。你给我skype的时候，请用我爱人的skype ID：wmdean1963

我等你的电话。

希望你一切都好。明天见！
Bob

你好，Bob！

Here's the 2nd lesson list. :-)

-Ellen

谢谢你的解释。祝你周末愉快！
书安

你好！Bob

如果一个房间很亮，阳光很好，你可以说：“这个房间光线很好。”

如果你要租一套房子，你会问房间里有什么“设施”，包括各种家具、家用电器等。

“齐全”：这个房间的设施很齐全，什么家具和电器都有。

还有，你可以说“再见”，虽然我们不见面，但是可以这么说。 ：）

Hi Ellen.  I have a few supplementary vocabulary questions from Intermediate-Apartment Hunting:  请问，光线，设施是什么？English translations are given, but I'm not quite sure what they mean.  Additionally, could you please use 齐全 in a sentence?  Thanks for today's lesson - 再下个星期见 - Bob

(P.S. - Since we will not really "see" each other next week, is there an expression that is more correct than "再见"?)
