Dear Sue,
Thank you very much for your guidance. It was very helpful to me. In the Persian language, we don't have "a, an, the" so, I forget them most of the time.
Today is mother's day. In our religion, we have a woman that she was very virtuous and immaculate and we believe that she was a holy person. Mother's day is her birth day.
Sue, I have a professor that he lived in US for about 20 or 30 years. He is differ with other professors.
In a university most of the professors have a room and they spend their free time there and eat foods and lunch in their room or a special place that is for the personnel but, he eats food in a buffet where student are there and in his free time an break time, he is in a campus of university. He calls student in the first name too and always calls me "Feranak" with a sweet accent, he is very likable.
In Iran, professors are very intimate with students (almost like friends)in some course, specially art, and in a technical course(like my course), relations are friendly an official.
Please say me, how are relations between professor and student there.
My letter is very long, I hope that I can say what I mean correctly and you don't become tired when you read it.
Take care.
Your friend Faranak.
