范 文：

Dear Editor,

I study at a middle school and I found a surprising thing in school. In our school reading – room there is a large collection of used English papers and magazines, such as English World and China Daily. They were sold as rubbish although they are still useful. I suggest they should be sold at suitable prices to the students in our school. I think this will meet the need of the students who like English, and the school can also collect some money.

It is not easy for the school to get these English papers and magazines, so we must make good use of them.

Yours,

Li Hua
