Subject: DAD,PLEASE SEND ME TO MONASH
Dad,
It’s the first time I communicate with you in this way,and it’s also the first time I talk to you about my ideal.
I have already looked into Monash University,which is one of the best in Austria.I’m determined to go to there no matter what it takes.
There are several reasons for me to go there and I want to tell you faithfully.First of all,I got known Monash from a girl,who is my first love when I was in the middle school.I have known her for over 5 years but haven’t said a word to her.I haven’t seen her for ages and recently heard from her.She is now in Monash and feel homesick.I desire to see her in Monash again.Second,Monash is more famous than any other university in China.I desire to go there,also for my better future.There will be more chances than in China.Third,as you know,I once got the 3rd prize in the national English contest.I believe I can easiliy adapt to the new environment.It’s time for me to explore the outside world now.And you know,I don’t want to lead my life in an ordinary way.
Please respect my decision.I know what I’m going to do,and I’m really determined.
I’m not making a joke and perhaps you can feel it’s the first time I take my life so seriously.
I know,for so many years,you have done a lot for me.It’s not easy for you to support me to study abroad.However,to realize my dream,you are the only person that can be helpful and that I can rely on.
Trust me,I’m independent enough.No pains,no gains.I know life there is not easy too.But I promise to get the scholarship befor the end of the 2nd year.And I also promise not to take on a girlfriend befor I get a job.
Monashi is my choice.I am ready to overcome all channellings to come.Please send me to Monash as soon as possible.
PLEASE SEND ME TO MONASH!
Love from,
Swissti.
相信我的承诺，透过我用感情写的这封信；
Trust my promise, through my emotion in this letter;
相信我的能力，通过我用英语写的这封信。
Trust my ability, through my English skill.
这是我在高中时候写给我爸的,
I wrote this to my father in Senior High,
他只回复我两句话:
He only replied two things:
英语只是一种交流的工具,而不是值得炫耀的技巧,除了英语好,你还有什么大本事?
English is only a tool to communicate, not a skill worthy to show off. Except English, what else have you mastered now?
我们家经济能力摆在这里了,能不能去你自己看不出来吗?
Whether we can afford you to go there, can’t you know?
也想要建立一个独立博客打造自我品牌吗？
