今天非常感谢老师和同学们忍受一上午的疲劳轰炸，希望我介绍的内容有助于大家的思考才好。由于时间有限，我们无法展开讨论，但是我很感兴趣知道大家对于设立《文化桥这样一个网站的看法，尤其是你们认为它对于无论是“通过文化教语言”或是“通过语言教文化”的目标有帮助吗？欢迎大家留言交流 (点击上边的“Comments”即可)，或是通过电邮也行。我的电邮地址是 yh2.com /at/ gmail点com （/at/=’@’, 点=’.’）
《文化桥》的网站相信大家已经抄下了，即
CultureBridge.SG。早上所用的简报内容的PDF版本可在此下载。
早上占用了大家那么多的时间，在这里要再次向大家道个歉，我们下周课上再见吧。期盼见到你们的“Comments”或电邮。谢谢！
