Life is short but lovely.

我後來不斷地與陳老師討論我的想法，大致上已經有個完整的雛形
說真的，那段時間我是一直看paper(在學校工作的好處 :P)
畢竟直接用英文寫出proposal還是一件蠻累的事
我上次用英文寫那麼多字是研究所寫論文
只是，這次跟之前寫論文不一樣的是...論文我是先寫出中文版再自己翻成英文
這次，我是直接寫，寫完給老弟看...他說我的英文有點卡卡的
唉，如果寫得順，我就不會用出國唸書啦
終於在25/11/2006時寫了一封信給Steve Dutton

Dear Mr. Steve Dutton

My name is YenFu Chen from Taiwan, and we have met in UKEAS about 3 weeks ago. I mentioned that I am willing to apply for Phd degree in Sheffield Hallam University. I had showed my short and rough research proposal to you. You asked me I have to send my research proposal to you as soon as possible.

I have to apologise to you that I haven't finished my research proposal, as I was very busy on my business in these weeks. We held an exhibition in our department on the 18th of November, so that I had to help students to show their creations. Fortunately, I will have more free time on next week and I will try to describe my complete concepts in my research proposal to you as soon as possible.

best regards,
YenFu Chen
