English language school in the heart of the Japanese Alps, and English language learners sharing their experiences online. Teachers post regular items about teaching, learning tools, events in the school, their day to day experiences living & working in a foreign country. Students post on whatever takes their fancy - book reports, festivals in home towns, postcards from business trips etc. A little Brit of England in the guts of Japan!

The Client
In the middle of the story when Mark met Reggie Love first, he was nervous and he wasn’t ready to talk with her. Reggie said, ”First you have to pay me something.” She took a dollar from him then said, “Okay, now I’m the lawyer and you’re the client. Let’s hear the story.” I like this scene. I feel her considerable experience and tender thought. I like the last scene too. Mark didn’t know that he would never see Reggie again before he asked her “Aren’t you coming Reggie?” Then for once, Mark who is with sound mind was not ashamed to cry in public. Reggie’s last word was “Thank Mark”. This must be an average last scene but that’s what I like.

After the Sways go to Australia, Mark writes a secret letter to Reggie. What does he say? Write his letter.
(A32)
Dear Reggie,
How are you? I hope you are very well.
We are living a small house near the ocean. Ricky has recovered as soon after the moving here. I’m going to a school with him, we are all well and fine at this new place in Australia. I’m studying hard, because I want to be a pilot. Dianne seems to be happy with her new job at CafĂ© in a hospital.
I’m sorry, I can’t tell you our address at this moment, but I’m looking forward to seeing you again someday somewhere.
Yours affectionately,
Mark

Please say sorry to Detective Klickman, Memphis Police for me, because I ordered forty pizzas by his charge.
