英语 || A letter from《Study abroad

友人劝戒吸纸烟

Original text :

“I'm very much worried about you ，for the boys told me at Iowa city that your health was in bad shape.I wonder,Oh man, whether you have still keep up your furious smoking ?I was dead in earnest when I told you last summer, that I thought it was a mistake for you to smoke as incessantly as you did.In fact as a non-smoker myself, I am of the opinion that you would be better off without the use of tobacco .

please don't think about I want to preach to you or try to boss you. The fact is that I have seldom taken as intimately to a foreign friend as I have to you, And I  honestly and without flattery believe you are a rare genius. I think it is your duty to society to preserve your intellectual powers to their fullest extent.

And for that reason, I think you ought to take every precaution to keep in good health if the cause was something else than smoking， then remove that cause.”

                                                                                                                          Louis P. lochner

My note:

From this later. I know how to write a letter to your friend.Say something honestly to care about him,We need to care about others from our hearts, not just say some superficial word，Or say some cliches.

For example,in this letter:

In the begin, you should directly say your major meaning of this letter ,in here , that is I care about your health,Because I heard somebody say you are in bad shape.

secondly ,you need to say some  reasons why I want to you pay attention to your  health , in this letter, this is hu shi should be have a responsibility to his country， he is not a man lonely.he need to do a lot of public thing in the future.in other word， a Chinese saying；“when you have more ability,you have a more responsibility”.that is a society duty for the genius people，they need to devote their energies to the world.that is a good point put on  hu shi, in fact ，when he comes back from unite states,he devoted his live to chinese literature revolution、elected to be the headmaster of Peking university、China's ambassador to the United States etc.....

anyway， In the end, remember to repeat your  opinion,to refine the letters's keynote.
