Dear Susan,

You are only three years old, and at this point in your life you are not able to understand this letter. But some day when you grow up, I hope you will find something        in what I am going to share with you.

Life can be       . There will be people in your life who won’t be very nice. They’ll laugh at you because you are different,        for no good reason. You will also face heartbreak (心碎) and might be       by those you love. I hope you don’t have to face these too much, but such things happen.

Be open to life anyway. You’ll find cruelty in your      through life, but don’t let that stop you from finding new things. Don’t retreat (退却) from life, and don’t         yourself. Be open to new things, new experiences and new people. You will fail many times, but if you allow that to stop you from trying, you will miss many chances. Do remember that failure (失败) is a stepping stone to success.

You will meet many people who will try to do better than you, in school, in college and at work. They’ll try to have nicer cars, bigger houses, nicer clothes, and so on. To       , life is a competition. However, I believe life is a journey. If you always try your best to        others, you are wasting your life. Learn to enjoy your life danger and you will make it a journey of      , of learning and of love.

Finally, know that I love you and always will. You are        a really wonderful journey, and I will always be there for you.

Love

Dad

                                                             Young People in Britain
    Life used to be fun for "teenagers". They used to have money to spend, and free time to while away (消磨).
They used to wear teenage clothes, and meet in teenage coffee bars and discos. Some of them still do. But for
many young people, life is harder now. 1.            are difficult to find. There's not so much money around.
Things are 2.            , and it's hard to find a place to live in. Teachers say that students work harder than they
used to. They are less 3.             in politics, and more interested in 4.             exams. They know that good
exam results may bring them better jobs.
    Most young people worry more about money than their parents did twenty years ago. They try 5.             
less and save more. They want to be able to get homes of their own one day.
    For some, the answer to unemployment (失业) is to leave home and look for jobs in one of Britain's big
6.            . Every day hundreds of young people arrive in London from other parts of Britain, looking for jobs.
Some find jobs and stay. 7.             don't, and go home again, or join the unemployed (失业者) in London.
    When you read the newspapers and watch the news on television, it's 8.             to get the idea that British
young people are all unemployed, angry and in trouble. But that's not true. Three quarters of them do more or
less what their parents did. They do their best at school, find some kinds of jobs in the end, and get 9.            
in their early twenties. They get on well with their parents, and enjoy their family life. After all, if they don't, they
10.              be British, will they?
