Dear Q 12,
My name is Xiao Hong and I am a middle school student in Dalian. I would like to tell you about two things that I think are very important. Please read what I have to say, because I think it may be helpful to you. I want to tell you about love and friendship.
Love is difficult to explain, but I will try. Love is a feeling between two people. It is a very happy and warm feeling. When two people love each other, they almost become one person. For example, if a father loves his child, he will feel sad when the child is sad and happy when the child is happy. There are many different kinds of love: you can love your parents or children, you can love your husband or your wife, or you can love someone outside your family.
Friendship is also a kind of love. When two people are friends, they try to understand and help each other. A good friend will be there for you even when you are having a difficult time. Friends do things together and share thoughts, feelings and ideas.
love and friendship are necessary if we want a happy world. If there is love, people will not do bad things to each other; if we have friends, we won’t have to fee lonely or afraid. When people fee lonely and afraid, they often get angry with others and do mean things. If we learn to love and be friends, we can live happily together and solve the problems and difficulties. We must face in life.
Your friend

Sample writing
Dear Editor,
I live in a small village. Some people in my village want to destroy an old temple so that they can build a new factory. I am really unhappy about this. I understand that it is important to develop our village, but I think it is wrong to destroy the temple. The old temple is an important part of our history. If we destroy the temple, we are also destroying our past. I think it would be better if the factory was build somewhere else, maybe on the other side of our village. There is a large area south of our village where there are no houses or buildings. Why don’t we build the factory there
Sincerely,
Concerned Villager
