We thank our teachers who give us dreams. (B)对于老师们来说,教育我们不容易。 They teach us a lot of things, but they ask for nothing from us. We are welleducated by them.

Dear Li Hua,
How's everything going Congratulations on your graduation from junior high school!
I hope you have a great time during the holiday, but there is something important for you to think about—a plan for your personal growth. Here is some advice for you.
Firstly,study yourself. Understand what you like, what you value and what you want to be. In studying yourself, you check your strengths (长处) and weaknesses (弱点). Find out what you need to prepare for your dream job.
Secondly, write down your plan. When writing, you can try using mind maps (思维导图). It is a good way to help you to think more clearly. And you may find a proper way to work your plan out.
Thirdly, go over your plan with your teachers, parents or friends. They may give you some advice. Think carefully about their advice and make some changes to your plan if necessary. And then you can go on with it.
Finally,work hard to realize your dream. For example, if you want to be an English teacher in the future, you should spend more time reading English books, learning more about English culture, and practicing your listening and speaking from now on. You can make your dream come true through hard work.
You may find it difficult to make the plan now. Don't worry. All you need is just a rough (粗略的) one. Once you enter the senior high school, you'll get a chance to make it better with the help of your teachers. And your personal growth plan may change with your age, your interests and the social development. So take your time and I believe you will grow into an excellent young man.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Fang
