一封家書

　　My Dear Mother and Father，

　　School will be over soon. In the previous letter， I said that I would retrain as soon as the summer vocation began. But now， I'm very sorry to say that something unexpected has changed my plan. In order to let students know society better， our school has arranged social practice for us. It is a very good chance and I really appreciate it. We have been notified that we are going to a village in Shandong province. So this makes it impossible for me to return home to spend the holidays with you.

　　Oh， dear mother and father， please be at ease. I can look after myself and take advantage of this chance to enrich my knowledge and try my best to help the villagers. I am missing you very much. I hope you will have a good time without me. And I wish you good health and may success wait upon your efforts in yonr work！

　　Your loving daughter，

　　Lin Lin
