Answer 1

Dear Editor,

I’m a middle school student named Wang Ping．Recently, we often have to buy presents for our classmates’ birthdays, and sometimes, we are invited to their birthday parties in expensive hotels, which caused us to think whether students should spend so much money for birthdays．

    About this there are two different views．Some students think it provides us with a good chance to communicate with each other and develop our friendship, and besides, we can relax after hard work at school．However, some other students think it’s a waste of money and time and can lead us to getting into the bad habit of trying to keep up with the Joneses, which has a bad effect on our growth and studies．

As far as I’m concerned, it’s not easy for our parents to make money and keep us at school for education． So there is no need for us to do like that．We must treasure our parents’ labor and put our hearts into our studies．

What do you think about it? I’m expecting your reply．

                                                                                                                       Yours,

                                                                                                                    Wang Ping
