正如大卫·麦吉（David McGee）在下面所说：“一棵大橡树只是一粒拒绝放弃的小坚果”。
As David McGee states below: “A large oak tree is just a little nut that refused to give up”.
我自认为是个小疯子，但在我的梦想中，我们的家庭绿洲长成了一棵美丽的树，为许多人提供了覆盖。
I consider myself that little nut, but in my dreams, our Family Oasis grows towards a beautiful tree, providing coverage to many people.
尽管无法与业主交谈对我来说是一个巨大的打击，但我还不能放弃这个美丽但未使用的庄园。
Despite the big blow of not being able to speak to the owner, I cannot give up yet on this beautiful but unused estate.
因此，我决定告诉他我们一直期待着与他交谈。
Therefore, I decided to tell him we always look forward to talking to him.
我以一张明信片的形式做到了这一点，上面有我们一项活动的照片，在卡片上，我写了这样的文字：
I did that in the form of a postal card with a picture of one of our activities, and on the card, I put the text:
尊敬的先生。 。 。 。 。 。 ., 祝您假期愉快。
如果您今年夏天在法国使用您的房子，我们希望您喜欢它。
如果您不使用它，那么我们希望您考虑我们的青少年活动。 最诚挚的问候，
保罗
Dear Mr. . . . . . ., We wish you very happy holidays.
If you use your house in France this summer, we hope you enjoy it.
If you do not use it, then we hope that you consider our youth activities. With best regards,
Paul Schoe
目前，我继续致力于不断发展的青年交流应用程序，但我们还没有放弃我们的家庭绿洲。
For now, I continue my work on our growing Youth Exchange application, but we haven’t given up yet on our Family Oasis.
PS (post scriptum):
“一棵大橡树只是一颗不肯放弃的小坚果。”
“A large oak tree is just a little nut that refused to give up.”
