Dear my Teacher Paula, A good day to you! How do you feel today? As for me, because of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, Koreans are really worried about a spread of the virus recently. Every day, I never miss daily news on TV and check if other people have been infected with that. Now, there have been 35 confirmed cases of that virus, so I am really afraid of this situation. As what I heard, generally, this virus doesn't cause the tertiary infection, but that situation already happened to us. As I know, this virus is based on camels, and it can be mainly found in Middle East countries. The first patient came back to our century from Bahrain about one month ago, and at that time, he had a high fever. Due to our government's late action, now, we can't breathe easily until the virus vanishes. To avoid getting infection, we should wash our hands with soup frequently and shouldn't go crowded places. In my case, I wear a mask in the subway not to be exposed by that virus. Just like what I did, I can see many people wearing masks everywhere. Fortunately, those patients that were infected with that virus were all found in hospitals, and it means that this virus has not spread to communities. Many years ago, when SARS was spreading, our country had the lowest rate of that disease, and we successfully overcame from that. That's why I really can't believe in this situation, and somehow, I am deeply ashamed of our government's incompetence as one of Koreans. Well, we just have to wait and see until this terrible situation ends. I really hope this virus won't spread any further. ㅠㅠ

Dear my Student [이름],   A tremendous day to you! ^.^   I am great! ^^ Thanks for asking! ^^,   By the way, worrying is good. However, worrying a lot is not. I am also worried about the spread of MERS in your country. But, I know that you are doing great there. You are well-informed about it, and you know what to do to avoid being infected. Just do everything to stay healthy, and always stay positive. Don\'t worry a lot! ^^ In no time, MERS will cease to exist. Hahaha! ^^,   Anyway, that\'s all for now! ^^. See you tomorrow in our class! ^.^   ... Teacher Paula ... ^.~     Dear my Teacher Paula, >> CORRECT! A good day to you! >> CORRECT! How do you feel today? >> CORRECT!
