Meet Valentin

I am a member of the Computer Department of a Research Center. My job concerns Computer Science applied to medicine: imaging, video, 3D graphics, etc.

Valentin's picture can go here.

In my personal life, I am a Doctoral student of English. I really like travelling (overall, English speaking countries), cinema and sports. I would like anybody interested in these issues or other ones write to me (in English, of course).

Thank you for your time and efforts.

Hi!:

I have been a member of the e-group for a few months. But I am usually very busy, so I can not read the e-mail regularly.

Now I am moving to Winston-Salem, North Carolina, USA. So I am starting to read all my old messages from the e-group in order to practice my English (I am Spanish).

I would like to know if there is any member of the e-group who knows Winston-Salem or lives near there. It would be very useful for me to know some things about this city.

Thank you very much.

Dear Vance,

I am glad to hear from you. I am sorry because I usually do not participate in your eclass at all. It is because I am always really busy. But I say to myself everyday: I will participate tomorrow. I think your classes are wonderful. This is why I am still a member, even though I am not a very active member.

I went to Winston-Salem, North Carolina last October, for two months. It was a very interesting experience. From then on, I appreciate even more your classes.

One of the things I want to do better during the new year is to participate on the eclasses. I hope I can.

Sincerely,

Valentin.

On 27 January, 2001, we congratulated Valentin on his second anniversary with Writing for Webheads. He replied:

Hi Vance,

Thank you for your congratulations about my anniversary. I apologize because I do not participate a lot, but I keep reading as much as I can.

Congratulations to you for your wonderful work and English classes. Keep doing it in this way!

With best regards,

Valentin

On 19 October, 2001, Valentine responded to a request from Michael to respond if they were out there

Hi everybody!

I have not written very often because I am usually REALLY busy. I have had many changes in my work environment, so I have been trying to adjust to new situations.

But, I usually read your messages and I think most of them are really interesting as I keep learning English.

So, thanks a lot for managing this list. And I encourage you to keep on the way. You are doing a great job!

Please, do not close this list.

With kindest regards,

Valentin

Valentin,

Thanks very much for writing. We very much appreciate your keeping in touch with us. It's nice to know you're still out there and still tuned in. It's because of people like you that we will never close this list. As long as there is interest among our members in maintaining our community, our community will continue to thrive.

I have added your message to us to your Webheads web page (above). If you would like to write anything more or send us a picture, we will add these to your page.

We look forward to hearing from you more often.

Vance
