Dear David,

Sorry to learn that you’ve put on weight. Eat too much food in McDonald’s and KFC must be the reason, I guess.

You have to realize that food is not always as healthy as was said in the advertisements. If you know much about them, we will find fried chicken and French fries are rich in fat, sugar and salt. They can make you to gain weight and become sick.

That you ought to have every day are noodles, rice, fruit and vegetables rather than the junk food. Energy-giving food, body-building food and protective food makes up a balanced diet. In word, you must have an idea of how a healthy diet should be and stick to it.

I hope my advices can help you improve your health.

Yours,

Li Ming

【題目】Once upon a time, there was a beautiful bird, which had always wondering what Hell(地獄) was. When she was little, her mother always told her that if she didn’tget the hang of the flying skills, she would go to Hell.

Some said Hell was a place full of water, and others told her that Hell was full of burning fire. However, the bird knew they were lying. She wanted to find out what Hell was.
