Dear Alice,
I just received your letter. And I was
very surprised to know that you decided to drop out of school and wanted to be
a model (模特).
Being a model for a living is not easy. In
fact, a famous person like me has a lot of problems that you couldn't see. I
can't eat what I like, even though I'm very hungry. Keeping thin makes me look
more beautiful on the stage because no one would like to see a heavy model.
Besides, I have to wear a heavy coat in
the hot sun, in a swimming suit in the cold air. And practicing walking nicely
every day is tiring for me.
You might say I made much money from
modeling. Bus my dear niece (侄女),
you have to know that money is, nothing, knowledge is everything. School is
important and everyone should go to school for a certain period of time. The
longer they stay at school, the better they will be. Very often, I hope I can
give up my job and continue my studies at school. But it is very difficult for
me to go back to school again. I am too old to go back to school now.
You are a pretty young girl with a bright
future. You only have one year to finish your studies in high school. A year is
really short. Please do consider my words carefully before you decide. Of
course, there is only one thing I care about, and that is your happiness.
Love,
Emma
