Congratulations!

I'd like to congratulate to all of you for succeeding in the course. I enjoyed having each one of you in the class because you all had unique talents and qualities. It was rewarding to see all of you progress. Beyond improving your English skills, you have also all made a lot of new friends.

I'd like to wish each one of you all the best in your future and career. Of course, I hope you all continue to be successful in your language learning.

Enjoy your break!

Hope to see you all soon:

Sheila

P.S. Mehri, have you picked up your final progress report (that was left in the classroom on the last day)?
