Dear Mom,

 

I want to talk about my time in America.  I have a teacher.  His name is Nate.  He acts crazily sometimes.  He speaks so loudly and angrily in class.  Sometimes, he screams for no reason.  And students behave nervously in front of him because they think he will kill them.  One day, he was teaching the class, and he began chasing a student.  But, otherwise, I love America.  People here act nicely to me.  So, I am happy.

 

Love,

…..
