Dear Editor,

    I am writing tell you about the discussion we've had about whether it is necessary of middle school students to have mobile phones. Most students think this is more convenient for them to keep in the touch with their parents and classmates. And what's much, it's a fashion. However, most teachers think middle school students are not old enough to control them. It is a waste of time for students to play games and sending messages on their mobile phones. Therefore, it is easy to make students contact with each other. In my opinion, following the fashion was understandable. But as middle school student, we should put all our energy into our study.

Yours truly,

Mary

    Last month we bought our two-year-old daughter a little dog. There are not many children of her age there we live, and we thought a dog would make her feel less alone. We were right. They play together happy. Our daughter now smiles and laughs a lot more than she used. It is just like having two children in the house. All of them are very untidy, but they cry when they do not get what they want. The dog is easy to look after than my daughter. He always ate up all his food and we don't have piles of dirty clothes to wash. My wife is also happy because that I have given up smoke. The dog doesn't like the smell.
