Dear Barbara,
How are you?Today I've got a wonderful news to tell you.I have admitted to Berkely school in California.More than 3,000 students took exams for it,but only a few was chosen and I was one of them.Therefore,my parents are not happy about it.They are strong against me going there.They say it is too far away that they will not see me for a whole year and they are afraid that we will feel homesick.They can't imagine so young a girl like me live alone.They advise me to choose a university near my home instead.Then I would be able to continue living with them.How can I persuade them to accept the fact what I have grown up?
Yours Faithfully,
Jane Blair
