I have discussed it with ms Bao and it appears to be the best decision in the light of the circumstances. Monday is an official public holiday, and next Thursday there'll be an exam (as indicated by all students present at the class last night). So, suddenly our classes have come to a halt. But the good news is that we would continue next semester. Ms Bao would make the necessary announcement early next semester.</p><p>Thank you to all of you for attending the evening classes. I hope that it benefited you and that you can already notice a slight improvement in your English language skills. Good wishes with your upcoming exams, and may you have a good rest during the summer holiday!</p><p>SO JUSTITAE ILLUSTRA NOS!
