Ladies and gentlemen, It is my special pleasure to welcome our new staff member, Mr. Simon Anderson. He has come here from Australia. He has recently graduated from the North Bank University where he majored in TESL ( Teaching English as a Second Language). He is young and full of energy. Mr. Anderson will be working mostly in our day-time classes, and he has also agreed to take some of our evening classes. He will be in Hefei with us for at least two semesters. One mission (使命) of our college is to promote understanding and cooperation between the young people of our two countries. By having people like Mr. Anderson, who are willing to give up the comfort of their friends in their own country to come to a strange country, we feel we are very lucky and that our mission will be all the more easily realized. Mr. Anderson, the other faculty members and the rest of the staff of this college join with me in extending to you our sincerest welcome. We are indeed happy to have you here, and we wish you all the best during the time that you are with us. Thank you. Where is Mr. Anderson from? He is from______.
