A Letter to a Newspaper

Hangzhou

Feb. 27, 2009

The Managing Editor,

China Daily

2 Jintai Xilu,

Beijing

Dear Sir,

I am a student of the

Foreign

Language

School. Every Friday afternoon, after the second class, we used to have time to see an English film, which we all took interest in . But from this term , it seems that we are having more and more classes in the afternoon, which makes it impossible for us to see the English films regularly. What is more, we have less time for rest or sports. I am sure it will do harm to our health as well as our study.

Would you please give us some support to stop this?

Yours sincerely,

Chen Ming

(2) 字数：120—140。

Time Is More Valuable Than Money

People often say, “Time is money,” But in fact time is more valuable than money. Why? Because when money is spent, we can earn it back. However, when time is lost, it will never return. This is the reason why we must value time.

The time we have is limited. Every second is precious. We should make full use of our time. But there are a lot of people who do not know the importance of time. They kill away their time chatting, smoking, drinking or gambling, They do not realize that wasting time is simply wasting their valuable life.

In a word, we should get into the good habit of saving time. Do not leave what can be done today until tomorrow. Laziness will not only bring us failure but also lead us to the road of poverty.
