1 A Letter to a Student I helped
Dear Zhang Hua,
I am so excited to receive your letter telling me that you have passed the college entrance examination and will soon go to a local university. All your efforts and hard-work are eventually paid back. Congratulations.
I do hope you will study hard in the future because knowledge and skills are of great significance in today’s world. For one thing, the world is developing so fast, we can only keep up with its pace by acquiring more knowledge to broaden our horizons. For another, the development of our country is in great need for people with knowledge and skills. Besides, only those with specialized skills are able to win in the competitive job market.
Once you are armed with knowledge and skills, you are sure to realize your dreams. I would like to suggest that you try all means to acquire knowledge and skills in college and put them into practice.
Sincerely yours,
Wang Peng

The story is not rare. Nowadays, many college students are not able to get along with their roommates, which does considerable harm to both their college lives and their future development. On one hand, quarreling and fighting ruin the friendly atmosphere, making dorms unpleasant places to stay in; on the other hand, if a person is not able to establish good relationships with his roommates, it is hard for him to develop other interpersonal relationships which are important for his future development.
Therefore, I advise those students to take it seriously.And the following are some of my
