Surprise

This morning I got a phone call from my cousin who is studying in Australia.
Let me introduce my cousin a little bit. Mr. Yang Liu (Rocky), still 21 years old boy, handsome and importantly,very very kind. Last year, he got his Bachelor's degree from a Chinese university. Then, he went to Australia for further study. Unfortunately, his English ability is not sufficient to get admission to a graduate school. Therefore, he is still in his pre-master stage.
Wow! It seems I have talked about him. Let us get back to the point.
"Dear sister, I have to re-do the language traning for another 5 weeks."
"What?" It is really a surpirse to me as he has been in the language traning school for quite a long time. How can that happen?"What is your plan? Can you negotiate with the graduate school for arranging a conditional offer to you?"
"No, I can not. I talked to my father this morning and he said there was no option now, just studying harder to pass the language test."
"so, what is your idea about redoing the language training ?"
"I have talked to my surpervisors about my case. It seems i can re-take part of the exam. If I can rewrite the research essay and give another presentation successfully, I can pass the test."
"ur, arr you confident at that?"
"My dear sister, I have sent a postcard to you with lovely sentence....."
"So, What?"
"Can you do me a favor by ...."Ok, I will not reveal the content of our conversation to the public any more. My poor little brother, God bless you to pass the test.
At the end, he revealed to me that he had sent a package to me as well. I am really happy with that, looking forward to get it:)
