Dear editor(编辑)，
I used to be a doctor in the children’s department of a hospital．Sometimes I treated (医治)children who had been poisoned by medicines for older family members．The children don’t know the medicines are dangerous，they just know they taste sweet．Children easily open the bottle that we use in China．
Some days ago I talked about medicines with an American．He showed me a kind of plastic bottle．The design was quite simple and I am sure our Chinese factories could produce these bottles．The top of the bottle locks but can be opened by pressing down on it while turning．This is difficult for most children to do，although adults can open them very easily．
I am certain that the cost of making such tops would be very small．As a doctor，I’d love to see this done．And most parents would be grateful(感激)．
Sincerely yours，
Wang Fang
