Hello to my lovely section 52s
I have some very sad news to tell you all. As of Monday, I will no longer be your teacher in your classroom because from yesterday, I will not be teaching at Naresuan University any more.
This was a very hard decision for your teacher to make. I did not want it to be this way. Leaving half way through the semester is very bad news for you because now you have to get used to another new teacher to and for me, I now cannot see how much you English has improved during this semester which is going to be the saddest part of all. I can tell you that your new teacher will be a Thai teacher from Humanities (this is not what I would have wanted I promise you. I do not make the rules, just follow them) starting with lesson 4A about traditions (so please read the lesson before Monday to help you prepare). I do not know what will happen to the results you have achieved in class so far (I have given all your results so far to NULC, I don't know what will happen after that I am very sorry).
What is next for your teacher? Well I will be still living in Phitsanulok. I have a couple offers to teach at 2 schools in town. I am just thinking about where I will be the most happiest. So some interesting new challenges await me!! I have never taught in high schools before.
I finish by saying this to all of you. It has been a privilege and a joy to have been your teacher up until now. It was very encouraging to me personally to see your progress in class!!! You obviously did lots of practice outside of the classroom!!!!!I ask you please, please, please to send me a Facebook friend request (Jonathan McDowell) and I will add you to my friend list. I hope we can still talk to each other!!! You may not be my students any more but more importantly, you are all now my special friends!!! I will miss all of you very much and will have many happy memories of our time in class together!!!!!
So I say a very sad goodbye to you all and hope that you will enjoy and more importantly improve your English with your new teacher!!! Be kind to her- 555!!!
Your teacher always
