七、【参考范文】

Dear Lin Hua,

I’m happy to hear from you. I understand your feelings, but I don’t think it is right for you to do so. You should be honest.

In my opinion, it’s not necessary for you to change your mobile phone now. After all, it still works well. It’s not easy for your parents to make money. If you love them, please show it by saving the money. Besides, new mobile phones are coming all the time, so you can hardly follow the latest fashion. As a middle school student, you have many more meaningful things to care about.

I suggest you keep using it for a longer time.

Best wishes!

Yours,

Li Lei
