Dear Jennifer,

Thank you for telling me about yourself. I'd like to let you know more about me too. As a child, I wanted to be a detective. I thought a detective was really great because he could solve criminal cases to do justice. But my dream never came true. i'm now a librarian, dealing with books every day. The work is nothing thrilling, but I like it. Since there are

more and more electronic materials, I hope that we will have an e library built soon. Looking forward to hearing from you again.

Best wishes,

Lan
