people I have the pleasure to know and you care so deeply about other people. The fact that you continue to see the good in people is a rare
and special quality.
I hope you got everything you wanted to out of your high school years. I hope you made friendships that you will keep forever. I hope you
learned lessons that will carry you into your next phase in life. I hope that you developed skills that will help you to be successful in college.
Knowing you did everything you were given the opportunity to and are happy with how it turned out. You should be, you did an amazing job.
Being an adult can be absolutely terrifying. I get it. But you are so capable and smart; I just know this is going to be a breeze for you, as long

Yours,

The following text is for test item 4-6.
Dear Mom,

Happy Mother’s Day! Now that I am a mother, I’m realizing just what you went through with me. You were always so patient and kind even when
you had to sacrifice what you were doing to help me. I admire your intelligence. I know you gave up your dreams of being a pharmacist when I
came along. I can't imagine all the dreams you actually gave up just for me and because of me, but I am glad you are my mom.
Whenever I had faced hard times in school, you were there to encourage me. Learning how to make friends, dealing with hurts, feeling alone, and
learning how to navigate through the craziness of growing up—I knew I could turn to you for answers.
What I appreciate is that you wouldn’t just see what I went through and just tell me what to do. The point is that you would actually take time out
of your day to listen to me and my problems. I do that with my daughter now, and I realize how much I love doing this.
Thank you for your example to me. Again, I love you and Happy Mother’s Day.
Lots of love,

Seo Ye Ji
