  Hi Tara,

  First, thank you for this month’s quiz.

  Second, I answered 8 of 10 questions correctly while had answered 7 of 10 questions correctly last month.

  Thank you so much for making these tests for your students because I know you are so busy, but you spend a lot of time for your students free of charge.

  I have rarely seen someone works for others free of charge, so you are a responsible teacher who loves students deeply.

  Best wishes and have a nice time in nice Canada,
