Hello, I hope that my comment would help you ;-) I like what you wrote because it is easy to understand. I will suggest some corrections below but don't worry about them. Don't be afraid to communicate even when you feel that you might make mistakes. Good luck with your English! I think you are doing great! Hi Kate, how are you? ( No need for "um") I am well. ( No need for "being here") It has been 8 days since I last saw you. (if you want to study the structure of this sentence I suggest that you make up about 5-10 sentences to practice it) My job is hard, but I don't feel exhausted because the pay is good. And my colleagues are nice. Perhaps I'll be back next week. Bye. Thank you for your help ( not hand) and please teach me more expressions in English. All the best Jang Junha!
