Dear daughter
You are a wonderful person and your mother and I love you. It will not be long before you leave school to make your way in the world. Can I give you some friendly advice? Here are some things that you should never do.
1. Never get upset with your looks.
We think you look great. Please be happy with the person you are and the body you have. Eat well， take exercise and be healthy. Some girls become upset because they try to lose weight or get the perfect shape. You look fine.
2. Never spend money more than your income (收入).
Never spend money more than your income and save a little every month. Don’t borrow others’ money if possible.
3. Never look down on yourself.
You are great of achieving great things so believe in yourself. When things go badly， never stop believing. Some girls get upset and lose confidence (自信)， and then all kinds of problems can follow.
4. Never forget that your parents love you.
Whatever happens in life， your family will still be your family. Whatever difficulties you have， you can always talk to us and we will try to help. We are here for you.
Love
