Dear Mom,

Hope you see the characters as if to see me.

It’s been a few days since the last time I wrote to you. I am very glad to see you are in good spirits these days. Today I have a sudden interest in practicing calligraphy, which reminds me of the days when my father taught me to practice writing with chalks on the blackboard. It is strange that such a memory is so clear even though I wasn't too into it at the time. Perhaps this is what’s called “things happen when not paying too much attention”!I am embarrassed that my calligraphy is still so rudimentary, while it does make me feel calm when writing calligraphy casually. 

Yours,

Zhan’er
