A

I have 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. But 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

Have you ever noticed ads which say “Learn a foreign language in 6 weeks, or your money back! From the first day your pronunciation will be excellent. Just send…” and so on?

1. The only language that is easy to learn is the native language. And think how much practice that gets! Before World WarⅡpeople usually learned a foreign language in order to read the books and newspapers of the country.

Now speaking a foreign language is what most people want. Every year millions of people start learning one. 2.

Some people try at home with books and records or tapes, some use radios or television programs, others go to evening classes. If they use the language only 2 or 3 times a week, learning it will take a long time, like learning a language at school.

3. However, most people can’t afford this, and for many it is not necessary. 4. For example, scientists and doctors only need to be able to read books and reports in foreign languages.

Whether the language is learnt quickly or slowly, it is hard work. 5.

A. It is clearly easier to learn the language in the country where it is spoken.

B. Of course, it never happens quite like that.

C. What we can do is to try our best to learn it well and wisely.

D. How do they do it?

E. They need the language in order to do their work better.
