Dear Editor,

    I’m writing to tell you about a recent discussion our class have had on whether or not university students should be financially independent.

60% of the students think that university students don’t have to be financially independent, because trying to make money will have a deep influence on their studies. In addition, they think that they can repay their parents in the future.

25% of my classmates hold the view that doing part-time jobs will help one gain work experience and learn more of society. Besides, when students find it hard to make money, they will know it is not easy for parents to earn money and won’t waste their money any longer.

15% of the students, including myself, partly agree with the opinions above. Personally I think that as grownups, we should not depend on our parents any more. However, if our parents can afford to pay the tuition for us, we should put our studies in the first place.

Thank you for reading my letter.

Yours,
