接機連繫

本來誠學弟要安排來接機, 但因臨時有要事需回台灣處理, 剛好錯過我們抵達的時間, 因此安排好的接機突然有變化! 系主任他說要親自到機場接我們, 還開了一部mini van過來, 真是感激!
另外由於剛到的前些天需要趕辦一些手續, 因此打算第一個星期租一部車, 做為交通工具~~~

Dear Professor xxx,

Thanks very much for your message. I think renting a mini van at the Champaign Airport will be a very good idea. I understand that, upon your arrival, you will need transportation, from the airport to your apartment, for a party of five and a fair amount of luggage. You may not be able to transport all using one mini van. We will try to make an arrangement for one graduate student to meet you at the Airport when you arrive. I will have a meeting at 11 a.m. -12 noon on August 11. If you can wait at the CMI for a while, I should be able to come to the Airport to assist you at around 12:15 p.m. This way, we will have one mini van and two passenger cars to take care of your transportation needs. My cell phone number is XXXXXX, just in case you need it.

I look forward to seeing you in Champaign-Urbana.

Best regards,

XXX

Subject: Visiting in UIUC

Dear professor XXX,
I am sorry that it is late to contact with you because I have a messy time
recently in order to arrange the temporary leave with my school work and to
prepare my visiting work.
It took me a long time to find an suitable apartment for my family during
staying in Illinos and YC gave me a lot of help concerning about the
matters of apartment renting. Finnally, I decide to rent a unit of an
apartment for 3-bedroom with two baths located on the S Cottage Grove Ave.
where is in the southeast of Urbana near the Sunnycrest Mall. Although this
apartment is a little far from campus but it seems to have a luxurious
living space and a good living functions. The main reason to choose living
in Urbana instead of Champaign is for my children studying in elementary
school. Although elementary school attendance districts in Urbana are based
on where you live. But, students who are Mandarin speakers and are limited
English proficient have the opportunity to attend King Elementary School no
matter where they live within Urbana. Therefore, I wrote an email to the
principal of The King school and she welcomed my children to attend the ESL
(English as a second language) classes which King school offered. Thus I
will register my children at King on the 13th of August.
As for my flight schedule, I will take the Eva airlines to Los Angels and
then take America airlines to airport Champaign/Urbana(CMI) through Chicago
and arrive in CMI at 11:20 a.m. on the 11th of August. Primarily, YC
will pick us up to my rented apartment but unluckly he needs to come back
Taiwan while I arrive.
Today, YC told me that if you has a leisure time you can pick us up. I
think it is to bother you because I know you are very busy in the
school/research work. Thus, If it is possible I plan to rent a mini-van for
one week in airport CMI as a vehicle so that it is convenent to do many
things about settling in a new place for my family. And I will visit you and
professor Tony in the afternoon of August 11 or the morning of August 12
which depends on your time. Thank you very much for your assistance
concerning about my visiting. You are always kind and enthusistic!

Best regards
