个人近况 (Personal update)

苑老师和陈老师您好，

这是[名字]，我在X大学上了您的中文课，这年六月刚别业。
我想跟您分享我最近毕业之后得计划。虽然我在大学读的专业是微生物学，我决定想当小学老师。我现在在一个汉语双语沉浸式学校当代课老师。我在我的闲时自己学中文。学校的老师都鼓励我去读双语许可证(bilingual authorization)，因为这里很有需要。我希望这几年继续学中文，准备考CSET 中文第三到五，所以可以有资格教中文。
谢谢老师支持我的中文教养。我非常欣赏您的中文课。是因为您，我才有信心可以达到我的教汉语的目标。

祝好，
[名字]

Dear Teacher Yuan and Teacher Chen,

This is [name] , I recently graduated from X college, where I took Chinese courses with you.
I wanted to share some personal updates about what I've been up to since graduating. Although I studied Microbiology in college, I made the decision to pursue a career in elementary education as a teacher. I am currently working at a Mandarin dual-immersion school as a substitute teacher. In my free time, I am self-studying Mandarin Chinese. The teachers here have been encouraging me to obtain a bilingual authorization to teach Mandarin, as it is in high demand here. I hope to study Mandarin in the next 1-2 years and prepare to take the CSET Mandarin exams (III-V), which would qualify me for the bilingual authorization.
Thank you for supporting my Mandarin language education during college. I have really enjoyed the classes you taught, and you are the reason why I feel confident that I can accomplish my goal to become a Mandarin elementary school teacher in the future.

Sincerely,
[name]
