Writing practice

So Far: Verb + 了 + Time + 了

Write an email to a Chinese teacher you haven't seen for years. Tell them how long you've been doing your current job and other things that are still going on, something you did for a while and then stopped, and what is still the same. Write 80–180 characters.

The double 了 for something still going on (工作了两年了)
A finished stretch without the final 了 (学了半年)
Say what's still the same with 还是 or 仍然
Open and close the email politely
