　　Dear Editor

　　In the countryside a lot of children are leaving school at an early age for various reasons. Some have to leave school because their families are too poor to pay for their education. Some find difficulties¹³ in study. Some have to help their parents to earn money. And some simply do not like studying. In my opinion the main reason that the children can not finish school is the poor living conditions of their families.

　　I think every child has the chance to receive education. As a student I can't do much about it. but I would try my best and now， I would like to give them all my pocket money and hope it will help some children.

　　Your truly

　　Li Hua
