Dear Alice,
I just received your letter. And I was very surprised to know that you decided to drop out of school and wanted to be a model(模特).
Being a model for a living is not easy. In fact, a famous person like me has a lot of problems that you couldn't see. I can't eat what I like, even though I'm very hungry. Keeping thin makes me look more beautiful on the stage because no one would like to see a heavy model.
Besides, I have to wear a heavy coat in the hot sun, in a swimming suit in the cold air. And practicing walking nicely every day is tiring for me.
You might say I made much money from modeling. But my dear niece (侄女), you have to know that money is nothing, knowledge is everything. School is important and everyone should go to school for a certain period of time. The longer they stay at school, the better they will be. Very often, I hope I can give up my job and continue my studies at school. But it is very difficult for me to go back to school again. I am too old to go back to school now.
You are a pretty young girl with a bright future. You only have one year to finish your studies in high school. A year is really short. Please do consider my words carefully before you decide. Of course, there is only one thing I care about, and that is your happiness.
Love,
Emma
Many people like visiting new places and seeing new things. But before taking a trip, we all have to decide who we want to travel with: is it better to go with family, with friends, or alone?
Traveling with family can be hard work and you may argue a lot. Not everyone in the family wants to do the same things. But traveling with family can be very cheap. And traveling with parents can make you feel more comfortable and relaxed. They won't let you do anything dangerous. Traveling with friends isn't usually expensive, but money always plays an important role. It's normal for everyone to have different budgets(预算) and there needs to be lots of compromise(妥协). This may cause problems. But traveling with friends can be great fun. It also helps you learn more about your friends, and sharing experiences can keep your friendship (友谊).
When deciding who to travel with, young adults can choose to travel alone. Traveling alone has advantages. For example, you don't have to compromise on money problems. You can choose what you want to do and it can also be a good way to meet new people. However, it can be lonely and sometimes dangerous. When you're ill or having trouble, nobody will be there to help you.
