Apology for being unable to accept the invitation
Dear Li Hua,
I"m so sorry I can"t come to Tom"s birthday party。 These days my mother has been falling ill, so I have to attend to her。
Thank you for asking me, Li Hua。 I certainly hate to miss any of your parties。 They"re always such fun!

We have received education since the very young age. The elder always tells the young generation that study makes them become an useful person, so as to make a lot of money. As a result, in children’s mind, the purpose of reading is to make money. Indeed, when we learn, we will master the skills and find our place in the world. First, we need some skills to make money and make ends meet, but the meaning of reading is more than that. Reading can teach us the positive and different ways to treat life. A painting’s value will be appreciated by the people educated well, but for some people, it is just a picture. Reading endows us the beauty from life. It makes us happy and see a bigger world.
我们从小就开始接受教育。大人们总是告诉年轻一代,学习能让他们成为一个有用的人,才能赚很多钱。因此,在孩子们的心目中,读书的目的是为了赚钱。的确,当我们学习时,我们会掌握到技能,找到我们在世界上的位置。首先,我们需要一些技巧来赚钱,需要满足正常需求,但读书的意义不止于此。读书可以教会我们用积极和不同的方式去对待生活。一幅画的价值会被受过良好教育的人欣赏,但对一些人来说,却只是一张图片。读书赋予我们生活的美,它使我们快乐,看到一个更大的世界。
