【题目】Dear Xue Mei,

I am very sorry to learn that you are unhappy now.But as a friend of yours,I don't think you should be unhappy.

I know that your family is not rich,so your parents can't afford to buy you clothes of famous brands(名牌),which makes you unhappy.Although we don't have much money,we can have a good mood every day.Many rich people have too much money,but they often feel bored and lonely.Your parents have sent you to school so that you can receive good education and have a bright future.This is not easy for your parents.So you should thank them.Don't ask for something that is out of your parents' reach.Don't be vainglorious(虚荣的).

I also think you should put your heart into study.Read more books and you can get a lot from reading.Without the famous brand competition,you will become happy.

So you should decide not to feel so sorry and sad.You should smile and think you are luckier in life.

I hope my advice will be helpful to you.Wish you happiness!

Yours,

Lanlan

How important is music? When they are asked this question, students and parents usually answer that music is nice, but not very important. It is often considered only as entertainment, but not the first choice for education. This opinion is shortsighted. In fact, music education is necessary and important for all students.

Music tells us who we are. Music reflects the creators’ thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. For example, just as Mozart music represents a lifestyle, rock music represents a lifestyle, too. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions.

Music provides a kind of ability to know the world in a different way. Science explains how the sun rises and sets. Music explores the emotive meanings. We need every possible way to discover and response to our world because no one way can get it all.

Music is a form of thought, as powerful as science. It is a way we human beings “talk” to each other. Through the language we expresses our feelings, our discoveries, our ideas, our imagination and our hopes so that they can be shared with others. When we do not let our children receive good music education, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses. Science does not tell us what it means to be human. Music does.

So music education is much more necessary than people generally realize.
