    Date: September 3
    Subject: Hi… from Singapore!

    Hi Mike,
    I’m just writing to say hi. I’m in Singapore now. It’s hot, but my room has air conditioning. How’s the
    weather in Boston?
    My new university’s campus is beautiful. It has a lot of big old trees. Some of the buildings are old too, but
    most of them are newer. They say it is Asia’s best engineering university. My classes started two days ago.
    They seem hard. My math professor’s favorite saying is, “Work, work, work.” I am tired already!
    My roommate is from Malaysia. Her name is Zara. She’s from a town called Kuantan. It’s near the sea and
    has great beaches. I’d like to visit her town some day. Zara’s mother is a teacher and her dad owns a small
    restaurant. Zara says he makes great food. Her favorite food is called roti. It’s a kind of flat bread. She says
    her father makes Malaysia’s best roti.
    Are you back in school yet? When do your classes start? Did you visit your family this summer? How are
    they? It was hard to leave my parents in Hong Kong. I miss them a lot. I want to go home during winter
    vacation. OK. I’ll stop writing now and start studying. E-mail me when you get a chance. Bye!
    Monica
