Dear Miss Kind,
I'm Li Hua, a Senior Three student. I am sorry to disturb you,but could you be so kind as to do
me a favor?
With the summer vacation approaching, I'm planning to find a part-time job. However, my
parents do not agree and insist that I should spend more time studying instead of wasting my
precious time on a job. However, I think taking a job can not only help me earn some extra pocket
money but also gain practical social skills. I don't want to quarrel with them, but what should I do?
I would be grateful to you if you could offer me some advice.
Yours,
Li Hua
