Dear Alice,

I just received your letter. And I was very surprised to know that you decided to drop out of school and wanted to be a model（模特）.

Being a model for a living is not easy. In fact, a famous person like me has a lot of problems that you couldn’t see. I can’t eat what I like, even though I’m very hungry. Keeping thin makes me look more beautiful on the stage because no one would like to see a heavy model.

Besides, I have to wear a heavy coat in the hot sun, in a swimming suit in the cold air. And practicing walking nicely every day is tiring for me.

You might say I made much money from modeling. But my dear niece （侄女）, you have to know that money is nothing, knowledge is everything. School is important and everyone should go to school for a certain period of time. The longer they stay at school, the better they will be. Very often, I hope I can give up my job and continue my studies at school. But it is very difficult for me to go back to school again. I am too old to go back to school now.

You are a pretty young girl with a bright future. You only have one year to finish your studies in high school. A year is really short. Please do consider my words carefully before you decide. Of course, there is only one thing I care about, and that is your happiness.

Love,

Emma

What is the hottest English word now? It’s “selfie”. Selfie is a photo that one takes of oneself. People usually take selfies with a smartphone(智能手機(jī))and send them to a social media website.

The word was first used in 2004. In the past 12 months, its frequency(出現(xiàn)頻率)in the English language has increased by 17, 000 percent. Now, almost everybody knows it.

“Almost every day, I take a photo of myself at school, and save it in my Qzone(QQ空間), ”said Huang Xu, 13, from Hunan. These photos record her happy and sad moments.

Pop stars also take a lot of selfies. Li Chunping, 14, from Harbin, is a big fan of Yang Mi. “She has used many selfies to tell us what’s going on in her personal life, ”said Li.

What makes people love selfies? Some people say it’s narcissism(自戀). “The rise of the selfie is a perfect symbol for our narcissistic culture. We’re crying out: Look at me! ”said US psychiatrist(精神科醫(yī)生)Carole Lieberman.

But some people don’t see it that way. Young people are using selfies to make friends online, Jonathan Freedland wrote in The Guardian《衛(wèi)報(bào)》. “The usual purpose of taking a selfie is to share online. They express a human need to connect with others, ”wrote Freedland.

Huang Xu agrees with that. “During summer vacation, my classmates and I shared many selfies online. Hair or clothes were not our interests. Through these photos, we got to know each other’s holidays and feelings, ”said Huang Xu.
