Greetings to Sir Josef and Teacher Tara,
I’m so happy today because answered 10 of 10 questions correctly. It’s because of English Club that has given me this nice opportunity for learning English language free of charge, and also it’s because of Teacher Tara who chooses and pronounces the best news in the best way for her students.
My wish is to meet Sir Josef and Teacher Tara in real space and to talk with them in English language directly.
Thanks to all of you,
Bijan from the Persian Gulf
