Dear Mary,

　　You said in your letter that many of your classmates wore fashionableclothes, but you couldn't afford them so you felt very depressed. There are dif-ferent views on people's clothes. The followings are my ideas:

　　Firstly, you shouldn't put too much emphasis on physical appearance.

　　Remember that the most important task for you today is to concentrate on yourstudies. No matter what you wear, you will really look your best when youcome out first in your examinations.

　　Secondly, you should understand that it is a fine virtue to live in fru-gality. Just as a famous saying goes, "Frugality is the mother of virtue."

　　Since your family can't provide you with enough money to buy fashionableclothes, it is all the more necessary for you to try to lighten the financialburden of your family. And you will find the virtue of frugality benefit youa lot in your future life.

　　I hope you understand what I mean. Hope you will take a positive attitudetowards life and will be happy again when you read my letter.

　　Yours,

　　Anne

　　Some people prefer to live in a small town while others prefer to live in a big city. Where do you prefer to live and why?

　　I Love Big Cities

　　I grew up in a small town and now study in a big city, so I have experi-enced the good and bad sides of both. I never thought that I would like to livein a big city, but I was wrong. After two years of living in one, I can't imagineever living in a small town again.

　　I love the excitement of big cities. Small towns have a slower pace. Inlarge cities you have to adapt to a variety of situations, like finding a new routeto work or trying a new restaurant. I enjoy that challenge very much. Anotherpart of the excitement of city life is the variety of cultural activities available.

　　There are various kinds of theatres, musicals and dance performances availablein big cities. These things are rare in small ones.

　　Of course, security is a concern, and that's one area where small towns aresuperior to big cities. Still, I would rather be a bit more cautious and live in alarge city than feel secure but bored in a small town.
