Almost every day she reads an article in Chinese and asks me to do her a favor to correct the pronunciation. One year ago, when she lived in SH,we knew each other in a cooking lesson, and she is very interested with learning all kinds of language especially for Chinese and want to know more about Chinese culture. So A always asks me to correct her Chinese accent, and she always feels sorry she asks me to help her everyday but can’t help me in return.

I’m so happy to be friends with A. Now we still keep in touch by wechat, and she still pushes me every day to correct her Chinese accent.
