My dear Alice,

I'm very happy and exciting to write this letter to you before you go to high school. first, I still want to say congratulations to you for your great achievements you got in the important test.

The score?is beyond your and my imagination.You couldn't believe what you saw?on the screen, 596,?a?remarkable number. You must think a lot about this number. I think the most important thing you got from this examination must be confidence.?More than 2 years ago, you came back from Xingcheng to Hengshui when all the families didn't have any hope on your score.?I thought it would good enough if you stayed in the school safely. Although you experienced a tough?year, you conquered yourself, you stayed there, struggled?and studied?hard, then you got progress day by day, month by month. Finally, you got the fantastic score.?Confidence can bring you amazing power, make you believe that you can do whatever you want to do, and you will achieve your goal.

After a happy and relaxable summer holiday, you will enter high school.The next 3 years are very important for your whole life. You are going to university in 3 years. The better the university is, the more you can learn, see and experience, and the more colorful?your life will be.?So my dear daughter, try your best, believe in yourself, don't ?worry to much. I will support you?forever regardless of your score.

I'm sorry I can't be with you,?Karen and your mom.?As a man, I have to spend the most of my time to serve our country. I try?to set an example for you?and Karen: working hard.?I have past?the master examination.?I'll try my best to get a master degree.?Only if we study?hard, can we have more choice to choose.

Alice,?remember to be happy and keep smilingwhatever you?face.?I hope you can make new friends and have ?different experiences in?high school. Take care of yourself and be healthy.
