坐看风云

Bob and I just had a short talk about kidnapping of South Koreans a few days ago. Here goes the email context:

Dear Lily,

        This is good work. Kumi and I sponsor a child through World Vision. The child is from Mali, a country we will never see. I hope the effort will help make a difference. There is much hate in the world and it must be countered with love. Sadly, some Koreans who went to provide free medical care in Afghanistan were kidnapped, one was killed and the captors simply think it is ok to attack civilians. The Koreans did not try to spread religious beliefs or participate in the war. It is a shameful thing for good people to be treated so terribly.

        Glad you find the recordings useful. It is a powerful story.

Bob

Dear Bob,

        Yes, I saw that piece of news. I think how important the peace is! Just because of the mess, we will cherish present life compared with that accident! The ordinary people often will be the victims of politics and war!

Lily

Dear Lily,

I have nothing more to add to this topic, but I did correct what you wrote. It was a deletion of the word "the" in front of the word "peace".

Today is a so-called short day. I just teach one class. I will get to go home a bit earlier, so I can work on the sound files for the 2nd Harry Potter novel. I am slowly recording it for the classes that will follow after we finish reading the first book.

Interestingly, I've noticed that people who bought the last book only a week ago now seem to be almost finished with it. It has taken a few adults a week to read through it. Some kids who got the book were reading it day and night to finish it asap. I expect there are going to be a lot of copies of used version up for sale at a low price. :D
