Dear Mr. Smith, I am a boy from a junior high school. My friends are always taken to eat out in restaurants such as McDonald's and KFC by their parents. They always talk about how delicious the food is. I feel bad because I haven't eaten out once. My family is not very rich and I am out of place among them. I am afraid that my friends will not want to make friends with me. Tom |

Dear Tom, In the world, there are always many people who live better than us. For example, they have nicer houses or better jobs. Even in your case, they eat out more often than you. It's very common that we always want what we don't have, but instead, to appreciate (感激) what we have now is the most important for us. In fact, the fast food in McDonald's or KFC is harmful to people's bodies. It will make you become fat. A fat student may take a high risk of some diseases. On the other hand, eating at home is quite good for your growth. According to research, the one who often eats at home can get more happiness than the one who often eats out. Besides, a true friend makes friends with you just because of who you are. He doesn't care about whether you are rich or not. Remember, if someone cuts off the friendship between you two for your family, he will not be your real friend. And it is wise of you to give up this kind of friendship. Mr. Smith |
