Very nice to touch you!

There is a no tolerance policy at my school for MP3/MP4/PSP/cell phone etc. If I see it, I take it. If it is the student’s first offense, I have them write me an apology letter in English and sign their name saying they will not have it in class again. They think I am very kind for allowing them this first offense and sometimes I think maybe I am being too nice. But, nevertheless, it makes for some awesome letters. This was my favorite one today:

Dear (English Teacher)
I am wrong.
I shouldn’t used it in your class. But please let me explain to you.
First,
I only want to use it to find an English word. Really.
Second,
I didn’t do others. There is no MP3 Player or games. If means that I didn’t listen to songs and play games.
Please believe me ~☺~ (THANKS…)
You are simily to my sister. Both you and she are so kindness.
I insist that you will forgive me, isn’t it?
By the way, I’m very glad to meet touch you.
That’s all.
Thank you.
Yours: Joy

Joy is a boy I named Joe. He was right, I confiscated his English dictionary, it wasn’t an MP3 player. He was soooo frightened to talk to me, you should have seen his smile when I told him his punishment was a letter. “REALLY? You don’t teach me a lesson? You are SO kind. I was such nervous!” (he was literally shaking) Its students like Joe/Joy that make my days…better. The cuteness just melts my heart. I had some other students today however that pushed every button I have. But it seems that no matter what happens, China gives me something cute to make it all better. After a horrible class today, I left school for a big glass of green tea and a fellow (female) teacher stopped me and said, “Can I say that you have a charming…um…figure? So beautiful!”
Oh, China.

Tomorrow I buy tickets to Hong Kong!
