Tonight I met Chako for dinner. She's applying to become a landed immigrant here in Canada, and has to learn a certain mastery of English. I helped her sort out a practice letter she was writing, and a brief essay. It was interesting; I'd sure hate to have to write something in any other language just to keep on living the life I'm living!
