Dear Class,

New Year is just around the corner.
A song to share with you:
AULD LANG SYNE by Sissel

As the lyric says:
“The New Year lies before you, like a spotless tract of snow. Be careful how you tread on it, for every mark will show.”
Plan the new year well. May 2021 bring new goals, new achievements, new happiness, and a lot of new inspirations to your life.

Cheers!
Sally
