Dear Abby,
How are you? Today I've got （exciting） news to tell you. Last monthuniversity in Australia (offer） me a scholarship for my further education. One hundred and twenty students took exam for it, but only a students got the scholarship and I was one of them. I am so excited that I can't sleep. , my parents are(worry） about it. They say it is so far away that they will not see me for a whole year and they are afraid I will feel lonely. They can't allow such a young girl (live) alone. They give me some (advice), and tell me to study in my hometown. Then I'll be to live with them.
But I'm unhappy. Because I have grown up. I still want to go to Australia. How can I persuade to agree with me?
Best wishes,
Jane
