Happy New Year!
Dear Class,
Happy New Year!
Share with you a song that is often heard on New Year Eve celebrations: Auld Lang Syne, means “for old times” or “long time since.”
As the subtitle of the following youtube says, “The New Year lies before you, like a spotless tract of snow. Be careful how you treat it, for every mark shows”, plan your year well.

Happy New Year! Wish you all a productive 2017 and a happy winter vacation.
best,
Shu-li
