建议信
Dear Lucy,
I know you are worried about your recent weight gain, and I am writing to give you some suggestions.
The main reason, I think, is that you don't have a balanced diet and enough exercise. Firstly, you should eat more vegetables and fruits, and cut down on junk food. Secondly, it is necessary to exercise regularly. You can go jogging or do yoga three times a week.
I hope my suggestions can be helpful to you. Looking forward to seeing your positive changes.
Best wishes,
Li Hua
