Good-bye Message from David

Hello everyone! How are you?

Of course, you know that my name is David and that I am from Canada.

Now today is my last day working with you, but I just wanted to say good bye and also that I am very proud of you and your English and how much you have improved.

But, before I go I just wanted to remind you about Canada and of course the Canadian flag.

So, remember the colours of the Canadian flag. So, we have of course, red, red and then we have white and in the middle we have a Canadian maple leaf, a maple leaf, wonderful.

And of course, I also wanted to remind you of my favourite Canadian animal, the moose. 

So, this is my moose, his name is Floppy and he just wants to say bye-bye.

So, I hope you all have a great summer and I hope to see you soon. Bye-bye.
