Everyone needs to sleep. During the day you work and play; at night you sleep. Your body rests while you are {#blank#}1{#/blank#} . In the morning you are ready to{#blank#}2{#/blank#} , study or play again. If you sleep {#blank#}3{#/blank#} at night, you can work or learn better in the day.
Your body grows more while you are asleep. No one can live without sleeping. If a child is tired, he needs {#blank#}4{#/blank#} sleep than usual.

Dear daughter,

    You are a wonderful person and your mother and I love you. It will not be long before you leave school to make your way in the world. Can I give you some {#blank#}1{#/blank#} ? Here are some things that you should never do.

    Never get upset with your look.

    We think you look great. Please be {#blank#}2{#/blank#}with the person you are and the body you have. Eat well, take exercise and be healthy. Some girls worry too much about not getting the perfect {#blank#}3{#/blank#} .You look fine.

    Never put yourself at serious risk.

    You cannot trust people {#blank#}4{#/blank#} you really know them. And sometimes you have to avoid things that look like they might be fun, like smoking.

    Never look down on yourself.

    You are great and able to achieve great things, so believe in yourself. When things go badly, never stop {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. Some girls get upset, doubt themselves and lose confidence (自信). Then many problems can follow.

    Never give less than your best.

    We are very proud of {#blank#}6{#/blank#}you have achieved. You should be proud, too. Keep trying your best at everything you do.

    Never forget that your parents love you.

    Whatever happens in life, your family will {#blank#}7{#/blank#} be your family. Whatever difficulties you have, you can always talk to us. We are here for you and we will try to help.

Love,

Dad
