A Letter to Home
June 25, 2001
My Dear Mother and Father,
School will be over soon. In the previous letter, I said that I would retrain as soon as the summer vocation began. But now, I`m very sorry to say that something unexpected has changed my plan. In order to let students know society better, our school has arranged social practice for us. It is a very good chance and I really appreciate it. We have been notified that we are going to a village in Shandong province. So this makes it impossible for me to return home to spend the holidays with you.
Oh, dear mother and father, please be at ease. I can look after myself and take advantage of this chance to enrich my knowledge and try my best to help the villagers. I am missing you very much. I hope you will have a good time without me. And I wish you good health and may success wait upon your efforts in yonr work!
Your loving daughter,
Lin Lin
