Congratulation!

I'd like to congratulate to all of you for succeeding in the course. I enjoyed having each one of you in the class because you all had unique talents and qualities. It was rewarding to see all of you progress. Beyond improving your English skills, you have also all made a lot of new friends.

I'd like to wish each one of you all the best in your future and career. Of course, I hope you all continue to be successful in your language learning.

Enjoy your break!

Sheila

What do you think about it? Do you have a "to-do" list? How long is it? What percentage do you usually accomplish?

Then take a look at the most watched "you-tube" here just for fun:
