It is down to you to throw yourself into your (journalism) studies

An e-mail, carrying enough reasons to cheer me up, is writtern to me by Richard Parsons, a veteran journalist/editor and one of the most respectable newspaper journalists I have ever met in the UK.

Yixiang,

Great news – I’m so pleased for you. It’s a result of hard work and sheer determination on your part.

I know Mr Ward is taking a chance, bearing in mind your acknowledged developing language skills, and now it is down to you to throw yourself into your studies.

I’ve copied this to Andy and Angela, who will be interested to know how you are getting on.

I hope you will stay in touch.

Best wishes

Richard
