71、ring to them when they become old.Dear editor,Im writing to talk about the problem of education for rural children. Now in the rural areas, there are many children out of school. I think one of the reasons is that their families are too poor to afford their schooling. As a result, they have to stay
72、at home to earn money to support their families. Another reason is that many parents think its useless for the girls to study and they would not like them to go to school. The third reason is that some children are not interested in their lessons, and would not like to go to school. In my opinion, all children including girls should have the chance to receive an education. People should pay more attention to the education of children because they will play a very important part in the future of our country.Yours sincerely,Li Hua
