June 8th Precious Haiqing I heard that you are very unhappy nowadays because your parents can't afford to buy you some brand-shoes and clothes that you like very much. I give you I am writing this letter to share with you my material considerations. First of all, beauty is merely superficial. Paying so much attention to your appearance. Don't you think about it? A stupid guy? He is one who judges others by their appearance. A shallow person; in the same sense, he is a shallow person who thinks that a trademark-clothes can increase his charm. So please, just forget about those trademark-things. What really matters is not whether you wear trademark-shoes Or clothes but whether your clothes suit you or not. You wear school uniform on weekdays as a student and to be honest, you look very smart in it. Then, its social gatherings where you have to go to the trouble of buying expensive brand-name stuff ?Secondly, I know your parents are two average workers who work hard when they work, those don't get a lot. Despite this, still, they try their best to give you a lot of things as requested. Look at their How can you, with their faces, have the courage to ask for more than they can offer, which will surely break their hearts on the hands of others and the odds are on the crust? Remember parents don't owe us expensive summer camps; those don't You don't owe us the Sony "Walkman"; nor if you really want those fancy things, you're going to need a part-time job donating towards their purchase rather than asking your parents to give to add to their already heavy burden of money. They do owe us Nike shoes. Don't you think about that? Third, it's both true and inexpensive these days that we have such a wide variety of things available. What's better for those who aren't a lot Trader's Mark - Is it worth paying a lot more for something? My advice my friend and you'll be your parents think of a good then smarter consumer as a more considerate child. Poor is sometimes a good thing. It tests a person's personality faster than anything else and it takes a boy to make a man. Keep working the hard ramps and you're jumping can provide those things in the near future. Now you may as well focus on your study. Anyway, wouldn't it be funny for a would-be achiever to be so preoccupied with brand-name things all day long? Keep in touch. Yours Huangping
