One possible version:

Dear Mike,

I’m very glad to receive your e-mail.

As you said, Super Voice Girls are really very popular these days and the champion Li Yuchun has appeared on the cover of Times magazine. Some people think Super Voice Girls are popular because common people are allowed space to voice / express their own opinions. Besides, they have broken the traditional value of beauty.

But I think it is wrong of young people to admire Super Voice Girls too much, because they may mislead young people. We should have real heroes to learn from and work hard for the future of our country.

What do you think?

Best wishes.

Li Hua
