　　A Letter to a Newspaper

　　234 Renmin Road

　　Hangzhou

　　Feb. 27, 1990

　　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

　　How to Make an Announcement

　　At times we have to announce some event we are going to have. Our announcement, which may be an oral one or a written one, has to be easy to understand.

　　In general it must contain four W's and one H, which are Who, What, Where, When and How. These are important items to which attention is to be paid. How we arrange these things is entirely up to us.

　　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.
