Dear JacksonFive,

  Your mail surprised me. Time flies so fast. Now it's July. It seems like
  yesterday since I applied for a post from you. After interviewing so many
  people, you still remember me. I feel flattered! ^.^

  The SARS outbreak did teach Taiwan a lesson and highlights many issues
  people get used to. It really left Taiwan a space to recognize what to do
  and where to go in the future. One of the most fundamental problems is
  that our education confuses us, I think. Most of children, or adults, are
  not good at thinking independently. Majority fall in panic when something
  come up. Although Taiwanese parents are most concerned about
  education in the world, I doubt of their attitudes about showing their
  children to Taiwan, to the Earth.

  I am sorry to reply so late for arranging to go to U.K. I have won one of
  the scholarships this term and been packing for weeks. It really
  exhausted me. This is my first trip abroad. So many things have to deal
  with so uneasiness fills in my excitement. But it is a precious and
  significant event in my life. I want to see a different self after this
  experience. All of achievement I can win come from my teachers'
  encouragement. I'm thankful that learning English lets me see my
  potential. JacksonFive, do you feel some pressure? Your job is not an
  occupation merely but a duty. I'm kind of serious, but it certainly can
  change someone's life. I am so glad to know that people like you do
  something good to our offspring.

  Talk about so much stuff. Hope you won't feel bored. Every time when
  discussing education I will become too serious. Sorry! Any word form
  you would be most welcome. I am looking forward to your message.

  Sincerely,
  Lucy (August 3, 2003)

Hello,

  It is really along time since I last heard from you. I am quite 
  ashamed that I am always saying "busy" when I write to you, in fact, I am
  a little free now, as summer holidays have started! I plan to learn more
  English because I 'm planning to teach in a high school next term (i.e, in
  September) I found it exciting to teach young kids and teenagers, but at
  the same time, i found i myself became lazy in learning more English and
  forgetting most of the English language. Generally, teaching young kids
  requires less English knowledge but more teaching skills and love, i have
  been teaching for nearly ten years and i do think i need to learn more. I
  put my whole heart into teaching and won a lot prizes, most of my
  colleagues think i am quite successful, but i feel regret that most of
  my students are forced to study because of exams! Some or may be
  most of them were interested in learning (not only English but also other
  subjects) at first, but later they were changed by all kinds of cruel
  exams. i hope such things will be changed some years later. i will still
  try my best to make my classes interesting and efficient.
  Thank you for remembering me! I really enjoy reading your pages.

  With best regards!

Dear JacksonFive,

  It is so great to receive your newsletter again. Even though I am not an
  active reader, I enjoy reading your newsletter very much. It seems that we
  are friends for a long time whenever I read your writing.

  I am glad that God bless Taiwan to relieve the condition of getting SARS.
  Additionally, everything can be back to normal. In addition to that,
  congratulations on the result of hiring new teachers. Because of your hard
  work and effort, there will be more Taiwanese children to get better English
  education and to have more positive attitude toward learning a foreign
  language. I truly believe that your current and future potential students
  are very fortunate to have you as their teacher.

  I wish all best for you, your family, and your school, and I hope that I can
  receive your newsletter soon. Take care and God bless you.

Dear JacksonFive:

  Congratulation for Chloe has turned 1 year old .(She has also turned 3
  years old by the Chinese calendar.)

  I like your newsletter very much. I hope to get it every time. Thanks. I
  admire your student because they have good environment of learning. I
  wish JacksonFive that come to Taipei. Because I have two daughters. I
  hope them happy learning. If you have the other schools in Taipei that don't
  forget me.

  Sincerely Yours,

Hello JacksonFive,

  I'm ur reader for almost three years covering the period when I was in
  China and the time when I'm studying here in Melbourne Uni. I'm so glad
  to receive ur letter every time though I haven't written u back anything
  except now. I share the joy with u and wish u from the bottom of my heart
  a happy and healthy new year for u, ur family and all ur kids. I wish some
  day in the future I could be a teacher in ur school. Btw, I'm doing Master
  of Education now.

  All the best.

Hi JacksonFive!

  I of course never forget you. I wonder why there is no newsletters
  receiving for months. I even suspect whether you lost my email address
  or tick out those readers with little feedback. My worry is now cleared
  and I am very happy and excited to get your news again.

  Your celebration of Halloween looked so fancy. Apart from those with
  well-off families, children in Hong Kong have little occasions to play
  under such good atmosphere. I agree with your views that students are
  being requested to rehearse over and over again before those great
  events like Christmas or Graduation Ceremony taken place. In order to
  give the audience and parents a well-prepared image, they put the
  students' fun and enjoyment behind. That can explain why the students
  in Asian countries are lack of innovative and creative but more submissive.

  From two cases in your newsletter, I'm not sure your school is a full-time
  international school with different disciplines or an institution of English
  language teaching only for kids. Besides the summer camp your school
  organised, any other stay-in short courses will be scheduling throughout
  the year's festive vacations, like Christmas or Easter. The B&B you
  mentioned is a good idea for parents like us living abroad (Hong Kong)
  who eager to get their kids a vacation with special fun and learning
  English as well.

  Your have invited some readers to join your English writing club in
  several months ago. I in fact want to try. However, being afraid of not
  able to meet the requirement, because I seldom wrote essays after
  school for years, hesitated to sign up. Do you still have any more place
  yet?

Once again, nice to hear you!

Dear JacksonFive,

  I saw the pictures of your baby Chloe on the website, she is so beautiful,
  so cute, she really catches my eyes. I guess you are a handsome man,
  and your wife, Angel is a beautiful lady. 

  Every time I read your Newsletter, I feel comfortable, kind and
  encouraged. I really enjoy reading your letters. 

  If I had a chance to go to Taichung, I hope to visit your school.

Dear JacksonFive,

  So sorry ! I have not respond you for a long time. I don't know how busy I am.
  May be this an excuse for my lazy to give you letter. You are right for the
  concept of English teaching environment for children should be funny and
  stimulating in last letter. I also agree with your points for English teacher
  qualification. I think these people as "foreigner" can teach English with
  certificate are easy for teaching in Taiwan (issue 59). There are some
  reason to make them so easy to enter schools for teaching as follows:
  1. Taiwan government has no procedure to monitor these teachers
      qualification for these English school.
  2. These English school intend to save money to hire cheaper teacher.
  3. Most parents believe foreigner teacher is good for children learning.
  4. Most parent has no time to understand their teaching courses.
  I think these points as above is only my comments in my mind for your
  reference.

Hello JacksonFive,

  Many "JacksonFive member", my colleagues are asking each other: "Have
  you received the latest JacksonFive newsletter recently?", " I have a long time
  no getting it."... It looks that your newsletter is one routine of our life. ^_^
  Thanks for your always efforts for us.

Best Regards,

Hi Dearest JacksonFive:

  This is my first time to write to you, and I am not sure "JacksonFive" is your
  name or not. I am a very terrible reader. Sorry!!

  Your letters really help me a lot. At the beginning, I couldn't read all letter
  because it was all in English. Gradually, I tried to read all of them. They were
  simple (you wouldn't use too many new words) and very interesting. Thanks
  for your letters.

Yours Sincerely,
Belle (Nov 10, 2001)

Hello JacksonFive,

  How are you? I'm Jane from ShenZhen China, do you still remember me?

  Long time not to receive your newsletter, undoubtedly, you are very busy and
  happy, since you are waiting for your new baby's coming and are looking
  after other JacksonFive children, this is an actually good news for you, and
  for all of our JacksonFive members. Wish you and your wife have a lovely
  baby.

  During no your newsletters period, I read all of your past articles
  carefully in my spare time. I am always shocked by your words which are so
  fun and very easy to understand and remember. All the time, I can't help
  forwarding these good articles to my friend and discuss with them, or print
  out read a loud in the morning, even sometimes I had to stop for thinking
  about for a while, from your hard working, we can learn not only English
  skills, but also learn how to get along with people, how to struggle for
  dream. Refer to "dream", one of your newsletter (16) questions is "Have you
  ever had to make a similar tough decision? "Have you ever had to sacrifice
  something in pursuit of your dreams?", I'd like to share my thinking with
  you:

  Ten years ago, being a young teacher, I made a tough and stupid decision
  was to gave up teaching. At that time, I just knew the outside word is very
  wonderful, and the opportunity to success is much more than in my home
  town. At my that age, maybe "success" simply means money or fame.
  However, after many years later, I found it is so shallow, most of us have not
  the same feeling like yours, such as: "Put something back into the society
  we live in", "Help others grow and in the process grow yourself", or "rather
  than continuing to complain about your environment and society, why not
  do something about it?", this is a very high realm for people, it is exactly
  great, successful happiness. I admire you very much.

  On the way to pursuit my dreams, I didn't sacrifice anything but lost my
  dream! In fact, till now I understand that my really dream is to be a good
  teacher who can not only teach students knowledge but also teach them
  how to learn. Regarding this, you are the expert in this field, your easy and
  fun techniques for acquiring life-ling English is very worth studying for many
  teachers all over the world. So, after thinking hard, I have a tough decision
  again ^_^ That is I will give up my current career to go on studying English
  to improve Oral, and my best dream is your JacksonFive school will open in
  China so that we can have a chance to enjoy your wonderful teaching
  techniques.

  By the way, ShenZhen is one of the best beautiful, opening city in China,
  more and more foreigners like to live and work in ShenZhen, especial in
  NanTou - SheKou. At here, you can not only enjoy very nice weather but
  also various original, delicious food all over the country. she was titled as
  the international garden city by related committee in 2000.

  Welcome to visit China, you will find many wonderful scenes and interesting
  culture which can be seen in Taiwan.

  I am going to pen off here. Thanks for you attention.

Regards!

Dear JacksonFive,

  Congratulations! I am really happy to hear that you will have a baby
  girl. It is simply because I am a mother of two girls. Your identity will soon
  be changed. When I first knew that I would be a mother six years ago,
  my husband and I were very excited as well as our other family members.
  We visited the library and bookshops to look for related books. I had been
  shopping around all the time to buy many baby's stuff and clothes for
  different seasons. You will find that everything is done for welcoming the
  new guest. This is one of the happiest period in my life and I always enjoy
  every time I think of it. I am happy to share with you my experiences.

Catty (Oct 9, 2001)

Dear JacksonFive,

  I am one of the readers of your newsletter. I have rarely replied to
  you, so you probably do not know me. I really think that you are an
  excellent educator by helping children to learn another language which they
  are not familiar with. In addition, you do not only teach them, but also
  help them to love this language. Therefore, they can use English naturally.

  After I read the newsletter, I could not agree anymore with the idea
  that you mentioned in the message. The two sentences are that "Any school
  can teach children who already love English. It takes a very good school to
  change a negative attitude." This idea makes me think that teachers who
  introduce one to a certain field of study are really important. If they can
  not inspire their students, how can the students become interested in what
  teachers teach. Furthermore, it is hard to make students to learn the same
  things once they close their heart.

  Finally, I truly think that you do a great job to help Taiwanese
  children to learn English. I hope that I can be one of your students one
  day.

Sincerely,
Christina (Oct 4, 2001)

Dear JacksonFive:

  Hi..it has been a long time i didn't get your mail, how are you?  I always
  wonder that these letters (I receive from you) were written by yourself or
  not? However, i know you are always busy with yr fun job and i'm still
  very pleased to know anything about you.

  Well, for me.. As the long summer holiday drew to a close, i'll come back
  to my campus life. About the misconception (issue 51), i need to
  emphasize that, i didn't have any misconception. I strongly admire your
  enthusiasm in Education and i'm sure no staff want to leave your school
  ^_^

  Giving birth to a baby is really a great 'project' for a woman, extra care
  is needed especially for a pregnant women.^_^ A baby boy is usually
  more 'active' (but also naughty) than a baby girl..if i were you, i would
  rather have a daughter first...haha...

Keep in touch! Take care of yourself and your wife ^_^

Hi JacksonFive,

  I've been reading your letter for a long time. I didn't get your letter
  recently. I thought you had had stopped writing people letter. Do you
  know that I feel like a million dollars when I got your letter again. So I
  decided to respond you. In fact, this is the first time I do it. On top of
  that, I am so glad to know your wife is in family way. Congratulations!

  Thanks for your letter. Reading your letter always makes me happy.
  Thanks again!

Hope you have a nice day,

Hello JacksonFive,

  This is the first letter that I write to you.  I'm a Japanese and live in Tokyo
  now.  I always enjoy to read your mails I'm receiving.  I'm also the one who
  is interested in improving my English so your mail is of help to me.

  I don't know what to write... I just wanted to say hello to you...
  I will be waiting for your next mail.  I've got to go now...

Hi there,

  I am Hendry Huang. I has found your website from Kimo and admire you for
  your devotion. I'm a programmer, too. And always intend to improve my
  English. I have learned English for about 12 years. But it not useful because I
  don't have opportunities to practice. Day after day my capability of English is
  still at a moderate level.

  After leaving the army, I decide to try the best to improve my English ability.
  At this time, I found your website. I read the newsletter. You know what, I
  seldom read letter written by English since I started learning. The contents of
  it (your newsletter) is so interesting! Thanks for your devotion and your
  patience for my poor English

'Hi How' Jacksonfive,

  I just wanna tell you that I benefited a lot from your former newsletter on the
  use of "interjections" (issue #45).  I used to work at a publishing company
  before. I remember that one time while we were translating a Chinese
  storybook into an English one, we suffered a big problem in translating the
  interjections.  Before that, I've never thought about the different use of
  interjections between Chinese and English.

  Anyway, tks for collecting those useful information for us readers. It's
  interesting and helpful!

Best regards,

Hello JacksonFive,

  This is Mignon, I got your letter last Friday in my office. But that was an
  old one of your letters, right? Because I have been read it before I
  registered JacksonFive family list. But still thanks for your message.

  Why I want to be JacksonFive family member? Because I was
  impressed by your letters when I read them. I think maybe you are trying
  to transmit a message this world isn't really bad. Every of your members
  through internet can talk with you and share their feelings or experiences
  with you that is human talking, not because of nationality.

  I have lived in Tokyo, Japan two years. In there, I met some friends who
  are from different countries with me. I connect with them by e-mails then
  some friends were gone and some friends still keeping in touch with me
  since I back Taiwan three years before.

  I always think people together to be friend it must with heart. I do really
  thankful for my friends, and I also knew I am such lucky person to
  meeting them. Living in Taipei city, I fight with reality everyday. No matter,
  I disappointment this world sometime, but my friends' friendship let me
  understood this world isn't really bad.

  Most people afraid to give because they don't want to get hurt but in other
  hand, they still eager to get true heart....that is why I impressed of your
  giving,.....I don't think JacksonFive family is just a place to learn English,
  even I have such badly English ability,.. But for me, JacksonFive family is
  a sharing garden,...anyone can come here and sharing their experiences
  to every family member.

Best regards,
Mignon (April 1, 2001)

Dear JacksonFive:

  I feel warm and upbeat whenever I receive your newsletters.  You are really
  creative in using video in recording the learning process which is more
  practical than by exams (Issue#41).  Students will be more prone to put in
  more efforts if they can see with their own eyes their progress.

  Last semester in English (for business) class, our group of students have
  our business meeting captured in video and so our strengths and weakness
  surface and each of us are more than willing to make improvements.

  One of the best mean of tangible self-criticism leading to self-motivated
  improvement, moreover fostering deeper understanding and trust between
  teacher and learners who knew that teachers are there to help them.

Happy busying
Sincerely

Hi There,

  I just want you to know that I share your view of contributing to instead of
  complaining about the environment we live in, and that, by doing so, not
  only people around you benefit from it, but, most of all, we grow in the
  process (mentioned in "Who is JacksonFive?"). Isn't this what this nation
  is lacking of?

  Your students probably are the luckiest on the island for not only enjoying
  your teaching but also getting the chance to the most decent person they
  can be because they have a teacher who knows how to share. Boy, this
  is, no  doubt, a value added that probably no other schools would offer.
  Good for you!

English Teacher,

Hi Jacksonfive,

  Firstly, I would like to take this chance to express my great appreciation
  to you since I enjoy reading your newsletters and many wise articles so
  much.  This does impress me a lot and they positively impact my thoughts
  lately. So, I am not only learning English from you, but trying to look at
  the world on the bright side. 

  I am glad you love Kenting so much because that's the place where I live
  close by. During the Chinese New Year holidays, my family went back to
  Kenting for a typical family union. Everybody gets together for good food
  and converse about everything that happened in the past year. I know quite
  well the traffic jam is always a nightmare for the drivers during a long
  holiday, I'd rather stay home than go out. However, I might change my
  thinking and try to do something different in the future. I believe that you
  definitely had a good time during such a local new year vacation (Issue#40).
  Hope you will enjoy another happy and successful year in 2001. Thanks
  you again for your efforts for helping people to learn English correctly and
  easily.

Best Regards,

Teacher JacksonFive:

  How do you do?
  This is my first time to write a letter to you. You must not believe that every
  week my favorite time is when I'm reading your letter.  No doubt, so much
  surprise for English and life in your letters. I cannot help to think it is such a
  magical thing how far you came from and making your dreams come true
  here. Everyone who read your letters would agree to this, and you must be
  a good teacher not only for your language but also for your passion.

  I am not good for English.  Thank you to read this letter, and wish you have
  a happy new year.

Dear JacksonFive,

  heart to read your issues and I'm sure your articles are useful to me.  Thank
  you for sharing your time and experience with us.

  Wishing you have a very fruitful time in the years to come. I really looking

Dear JacksonFive,

  How are you? 
  I am indeed appreciative of you. In the past year you have shared your
  English newsletters. This makes us not only learn much more in English,
  but I'm also happy from your sharing of experiences. You even recorded
  your voice to help us who can't go to your class for listening. Thank you
  so much (PS: I believe there are many people who like your voice as I do..

Dear JacksonFive:

  I was really happy to receive your newsletter.  You know I really love
  English since I subscribed to your newsletter.  Before, I never liked it
  because I didn't know how to learn it.

  I have been studying English since I was a junior high school student, but
  you know I feel I'm just starting to know it now (since I joined the family).
  That's why even though I have been studying English for six years in
  Taiwan still I didn't improved my English a lot.  I believe that anyone can
  speak English like mother tongue if they have a right way to learn
  (mentioned in issue 35).

  I would like to take this opportunity to extend my sincerest appreciation
  to everything you have done for us.

  Pls forgive me if there are some grammar mistakes, since I seldom write

Dear JacksonFive,

  I'm a salary man just retired from the army a year ago and decided to get
  a MBA next year in USA. As a man grew up in Taiwan, I've spent lots of
  time studying and dealing with those boring tests since 20 years ago.

  I always believe do what you like to do is so much meaningful to one's
  personal characters. After I read the two short stories (issue 27 & issue 30),
  I was much moved by them. I think if I go to USA for study next year, I will
  schedule my time well both in study and outdoor exercise. I wish you can
  keep writing good newsletters to us and I believe you will always be backed
  up.

With best regards,

Dear JacksonFive,

  I found your web from KIMO when I am searching a good English

  Taipei but you live in Taichung.  Although you couldn't be my English
  teacher in office, I still can practice English from your newsletter.
  Thank god!  I am attracted to your newsletter so much. Of course, I have
  registered to join the JacksonFive's family membership. I can't wait to
  get the newsletter. Thank you for providing such a funning learning
  channel for us.

Attention: Mr. JacksonFive

  I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for leading us to the
  correct way in learning english.  As you mentioned in your Newsletter that
  learning a language is to learn a new culture. As a learner, every one is just
  like a child to explore his new world.  A challenge and an achievement
  alternate with each other in everyone's life. How to make life-long learning
  an enjoyable and rewarding job is the key to sucess, and you have
  unselfishly shared us with your priceless experiences on this respect.
  Wish you a very happy  and sucessful teacher.

  Besides, I totally agree with your view about "euphoric", (issue #23)
  I am just a beginner in teaching. Actually, I am an apprentice teacher

Hi, Mr.... Jacksonfive, (Just call me "JacksonFive")

  I'm one of the new members of the increasing JacksonFive family. This is
  a quick note to let you know that I'm so touched when I got this mail
  (newsletter). This is totally beyond my expectation. I knew your website
  from the search engine. It's all out of pure curiosity. I just like to see what
  kind of e-newsletters about English learning that people can get on-line. I
  thought this newsletter would be a commercial one--you know, cold and
  very business-like. I'm so wrong, and I'm glad to admit it.

  You've done a good job about this about I'm pretty sure that you've heard
  this a million times before, but I still like to say--thank tons!

Sincerely,
Gretchen (July 17, 2000)

  Some days ago, I found the Website when I surfed online. I graduated
  from Providence University this summer, and I majored in international
  trade.  My English is not good, so I would like learning English well. I
  registered for your newsletter, and I am very excited by receiving your
  letter so soon. I shared the newsletters with my good friends right away.
  Thanks for you and the other readers!!

Sincerely,
Justine (July 2, 2000)

Hi JacksonFive,

  I've passed by your school a few weeks before you had an opening and I
  found that the school looks great. I mean, I've been to many language
  schools in Taichung, the one you are opening really looked nice. Since
  I'm forcing myself to stay at home to study before my exam date comes,
  I could not attend your opening ceremony. I'm a royalty reader to your
  weekly e-papers and I like it a lot. Hope you'll have a prosperous business
  in your school.

Sincerely yours,
Iris (June 19, 2000)

Dear JacksonFive,

  I am a business assistant for my manager on my company. Although
  sometimes I was very busy but sometimes I was very boring. l feel there
  are no sun in my life so far. Until one day I found you, I feel my life full
  of fun and hopeful. Because you are so generous to share your language
  knowledge to many people who you don't know. I was touched beyond
  words. There are many foreigner (like you) to contribute their knowledge
  in Taiwan, opposite the Taiwanese usually is a selfish person. It let me
  feel great shame. So, I start to change myself to help the people who
  need my help voluntarily. Thank you very much, I think you teach me not
  only how to learn English  and also teach me how to share my specialty
  to other people. Maybe my English not very well, but I hope you can
  know what I want to express.^_^

Your Sincerely, Mandy (June 16, 2000)

Hi Mandy,

  Did you know one of my best friends in the World is also called Mandy
  Tsai. She is married to a Englishman and living in the UK right now with
   a very cute daughter.

  You express yourself quite well and I understand you 100%. First of all,
  thank you for much for writing me this email. It is exactly one of my
  purposes for creating this newsletter. I want to help people, but I also
  want to help "move" my readers to help others. If we all help a few
  people around us without monetary reward, not just this country, but the
  whole world would be a much better place. I think you would agree.

  Thanks again Mandy for sharing this email with me. You are truly a
  JacksonFive family member ^_^  Hope to hear from you again soon.

JacksonFive

  P.S. not every Taiwanese is selfish and not every foreigner is giving.
  Taiwan is still a wonderful place to live, but just has some areas for us to
  improve like any country in the World.

Dear JacksonFive,

  Really, very thanks for your weekly newsletter.  Today is my first time
  receiving your letter.  I don't know what I can say.  I just want to say
  "Thank you very much" to you for I am so happy that I can receive your
  email so fast.

  Tonight I went to visit and read some topics from your website.  I think if we
  don't have Internet then we couldn't have know about you and get so much
  useful information. When I read your letter, it makes me feel that I am
  reading my pen pal's mail rather than learning English.  I can feel that I am
  getting to love English, and I can't wait to share your letter with my
  colleagues.  In fact this evening I don't need to work over time, but I'll stay
  and can not wait to visit your website.  Hopefully this way I can improve
  my English ability.

Thank you very much!

Dear Jacksonfive,

  I am very happy to receive your newsletter.
  I am a freshman in your jacksonfive family.  This is the first newsletter that
  I got from you.  When I read your newsletter, my friend came to see me.
  He found that I was reading the newsletter in English.  He was very surprised
  because he known my English is very poor.

  He doesn't believe who will write a English letter to me, and he doesn't believe
  I will understand it, either.  I told him the letter is very interesting and not
  very difficult.

  When he saw the letter he had the same feeling as mine and he decided
  to join us.  His English is not very well, and me too. I am not sure that you
  will understand what I said.  But I really try my best to write to you. I think
  "Practice makes better", right?

  My friend wanted me to ask you a question, may I?
  He wants to know, do you like to drink "Chinese tea"?  In fact, he plants
  tea trees.  He is a tea farmer . If you like to drink "Chinese tea", maybe he
  can give you some.

  We are very gladed to join your jacksonfive family.

Yours Sincerely
Kristy (May 5, 2000)

Hi Jacksonfive,

  I really appreciate that you offer such a great "place" for learning English.
  It's natural and easy to learn a second language via your newsletter.  I have
  told my students about "Jacksonfive".  They just love it and really enjoy
  reading your newsletter.

Thank you,

Dear Jacksonfive:

  It's wonderful to get your mail again. For some reason unknown, I have not
  get any mail for days. Congratulation! It is not easy to win the 1th prize in
  a hard competetion. I hold no stocks and have little patient to listen to
  technicians' analysis. This topic open a new window for me (issue #10).
  Thanks

Hello JacksonFive,

  This is my first time to e-mail you... ^o^
  Congratulations for being the champion of the speech contest and the
  English debate contest (though it's long time ago)!  Well, I guess you
  must have received PILES of congratulatory mails like this. ^o^

  I regretted that I didn't have the chance to enjoy your outstanding show on
  the stage, but I am VERY GLAD to hear that you've won the
  Championship. ^o^
  By the way, I also appreciate that you send weekly mails to help improve
  our English. It has really given me lots of help! ^o^

  Have a nice day!

  p.s Oh, yes, I love the new logo on the homepage, though I've never seen
  you before! ^o^

Yours Sincerely,
Lisa (April 30, 2000)

Hi JacksonFive,

  I was a subcriber with lots of different kinds of newsletters. Yes, most
  of them were informative but with a common point - dull. Yours is delightful!
  I think you've proved one thing: it's not impossible for people to put an
  equal sign between learning and having fun.

Keep up the good work!
Your to-be loyal reader

Hello JacksonFive,

  Thank you very much for your compliment. I'm flattered. But I think my
  English still has a long way to go. That's why I want to find out an English
  teaching website which can help me to further improve my English ability.
  I found your program through Kimo search engine. And I'm attracted by it
  because I found its content is very practical to me. By the way, I
  appreciate that you accepted my (newsletter topic) request and will bring it
  out on next week (note issue 6).

  This is a good program and I will share it with my friends!

Have a good day!

Hello JacksonFive,

  Thank you so much for your help. I'm so excited when I saw this week's
  newsletter (issue 6) and you really did a great job. I think the methods
  you have written on the newsletter have covered everything I wanted to know.
  Maybe that will inspire me to learn how to cook.

  It's always a pleasure to write to you since I can learn a lot of English from
  you.  Thank you for your effort to collect the information for me at 2:00 in
  the morning.  I will commit myself to be your most loyal reader in return.

I'll write to you if I got any questions. Bye-Bye!

Dear JacksonFive,

  It does make me "drool" while reading your weekly learning stuff (issue #6).
  It is quite helpful and refreshing.

  You are doing a great job. I believe in cyber-learning or e-learning!!
  It's fun.
