Dear Haiqing,
I hear you are very unhappy these days because your parents cant afford to buy you some brand-name shoes and garments you like very much. And I write you this letter to share with you what I think about this matter.
To begin with, beauty is just skin deep. Dont you think it silly to pay so much attention to your appearance? He is a shallow person who judges others by their appearance; in the same sense, he is a shallow person who thinks that a brand-name garment can add to his glamour. So please, just forget about those brand-name things. What really matters is not whether you wear brand-name shoes or garments but whether your clothes fit you. As a student, you have to wear the school uniform on the weekdays and to be honest, you look very smart in it. Then why do you have to bother to buy the expensive brand-name things?
Secondly, I know your parents are both average workers. Hard as they work, they dont earn much. Despite this, they do their best to give you a lot of things on demand. Look at the callus on their hands and wrinkles on their faces, how can you have the heart to ask for more than they can afford, which will surely break their hearts? Remember, parents dont owe us expensive summer camps; they dont owe us Sony Walkman; nor do they owe us Nike shoes, If you really want those fancy things, you should take a part-time job to contribute to their purchase rather than ask your parents for money to add to their already heavy burden. Dont you think so?
Thirdly, we have such a wide variety of things available these days which are both nice and inexpensive. Whats the point of paying much more for those brand-name things that are not much better? My friend, take my advice, and youll be a wiser consumer as well as a more considerate child to your parents.
poverty, sometimes, is a good thing. It can test a persons character and it makes a man out of a boy faster than anything else. Keep working hard, and you are bound to be able to afford those things in the near future. Now you may as well focus on your study. Anyway, wouldnt it be funny for a would-be achiever to be so preoccupied with brand-name things all day long?
Keep in touch.
Yours
Huangping

亲爱的老师，
我听说你很不高兴，因为这些日子你的父母不能给你买一些名牌鞋和服装你很喜欢。我写此信与你分享我对此事的看法。
首先，美丽只是肤浅的。你不觉得太注重你的外表很傻吗？他是一个肤浅的人，其他法官由外表；在同样的意义上，他是一个肤浅的人认为品牌服装可以增加他的魅力。所以，忘掉那些名牌的东西。重要的不是你穿名牌鞋或服装，但你的衣服是否适合你。作为一个学生，你必须穿校服，老实说，你看上去很聪明。那你为什么要去买贵的名牌呢？
其次，我知道你的父母都是普通的工人。他们努力工作，他们挣钱不多。尽管如此，他们尽了自己最大的努力给你很多的要求。看看他们的脸和手和皱纹的愈伤组织，你怎么能忍心要求超过他们可以负担得起，这必将打破他们的心？记住，父母不欠我们昂贵的夏令营；他们不欠我们的索尼随身听；他们也不欠我们的耐克鞋，如果你真的想要那些花哨的东西，你应该做一份兼职工作来促进其购买而不是问你的钱来增加他们的父母已经沉重的负担。你不这么认为吗？
再次，我们有这样的各种各样的东西，可这几天都很便宜。对，不是更好的那些名牌的东西支付更多的意义是什么？我的朋友，接受我的建议，你会以及更体贴的孩子你的父母，一个聪明的消费者。
贫困，有时候，是一件好事。它可以测试一个人的性格，它比别的男孩会让一个男人。继续努力，你一定能买得起这些东西在不远的将来。现在你也可以把注意力集中在学习上。总之，不会是一个有趣的可能的成就是如此关注名牌的东西一整天？
保持联系。
真诚的祝福
黄平
