Hi Tom, I'm very happy that you corrected my entry. Thank you very much!

Hi Cathy, I'm a native American English speaker and this would be my correction. By wechat, my daughter Tianrun recently sent me the following vocal message: "Mum, Dad, I have stunning news to tell you! In my music composition class, my teacher praised the trio that I composed and suggested that I put it on the recital! He also told me that the first year is the most difficult, especially for an international student like me, and has noticed my improvement. He told me that I had made great progress and was very happy for me! Ha ha! I am so happy too! Every week, Tianrun reports her studies in the US to her Dad and I after her classes with her music composition teacher. Her classes are one on one, once per week. Her recent TOEFL score was less than 60, but with the help of her English and music teachers, she has worked hard to overcome many difficulties, and finally made her first year successful. I'm am very happy also of course. I listened to her message many times, just like her many other messages. I love her and miss her every day. Every message from her is precious to me and makes me smile. My comments: This is such a lovely story. You must be so proud and lucky to have such a wonderful daughter. Thanks Cathy, for posting a very touching entry. There are many ways to say what you posted. I tried to make my correction as natural as possible. Thanks again for sharing this message.
