I 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. Bus 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

Confidence is very important in daily life. It can help you to develop a healthy attitude (态度). A study
shows that the people who are more confident are much happier. They can have more chance to make
themselves successful. But how to be more confident? Here are some suggestions:
·Speak loud When you are not confident, you can"t do well what you want to do. You speak in a voice
so low that other people can hardly hear you. Try to speak loud enough so that people can hear you clearly.
The high voice can help you become more confident.
·Play sports Physical exercise makes you tired but completely relaxed. 3.A strong body helps you be full
of confidence.
·Encourage yourself Write down a list of things you did during the day to see how many things you
have done well. Did you finish your homework? Did you tell a joke that made everybody laugh? Give yourself
praise for the good things you"ve done.
·Get rid of (消除) fear Fear comes along with failure (失败). But it"s easy to overcome (克服) if you
know that failure is part of your life. Don"t hide your head just because you said something stupid last time. Try
to start again and believe you can do better.

outstanding. And it will make you happy and confident.
