A Short Note -- Shirley's 523rd Friendly Greeting -- May 4, 2016

Hi,Dear Friends

How are you?

This is just a short note to see Hello to you.

I am working very hard on my English for passing the national English examination in Beijing on May 29, 2016. Now it has entered the "final sprint" phase.

I have done many jobs on it, and just on vocabulary part, I have recited 9,201 English words and answered 33,300 questions. Although I feel easy on reading articles of Voice of America or China Daily, I have many problems on English Grammar still. Therefore, the more study, the more I am not sure whether I can pass the examination for my questions getting more and more. :-)

One piece of the good news on my cross-culture and comprehensive art is that a famous publishing house has showed their interest in my music jobs for the ancient Chinese classical poems. Hopefully, my idea to publish "the comprehensive art works + some fine arts works + pure music works", to found my own research frame which includes "general publications and papers" as one of the parts of the Teaching, Researching , Creating and Business of the little project will come true in the near future? I am not sure about it at this time yet. I am working hard with thinking step by step.

The other good news is that I have had a new English tutor from Britain. As a volunteer, Mr. Ray Heaton who is a manager of an English company, director of a magazine would be one of my new work partners to correct my writing online and in my publications.

Anyway, no matter how busy I was, still I kept painting. Below is one of the two paintings which I have done in the past 10 days and hope you enjoy it.

How about you? Do you have anything special to share?
