y been here for a year？ There's so much to do before I leave! I really must buy presents for my English friends to thank them for all their help. I have to move out of my room on Friday because Franco has got another tenant. At least I don't have to find somewhere else to live. I'm going to spend a few days with friends. He is letting the whole flat because Mary is moving just before her marriage. The time has gone so quickly. I cannot believe that I've been here for a whole year. And I must start packing too - I have bought a lot since I came, and I need another suitcase. I'll give some things to charity shops I think. Anyway, I'm really writing to say that I'll be back in Shanghai on the 27 April, and it would be great to see you to catch up on all our news. I'll phone as soon as I get back How are things with you？Love Xiaoyan
