Dear Friends,
I’m writing to recommend to you a wonderful book, The Seventh Key, which is not only advantageous to your English study but also beneficial to your life.
The book tells a story that two nephews of an old man try hard to find the seventh key first in order to win the legacy. It discloses the “money-first” attitude and heartlessness of people. More importantly, it tutors people about the life philosophy of “No pains, no gains”. What’s more, the beautiful language in this original English book may contribute to your study of English in listening, speaking, reading and writing.
I hope you would enjoy the book and share your opinion on the next reading session.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming

The chart reflects the Spring Festival spending types and their respective proportions. Chinese people's money is mainly used for three purposes during the Spring Festival: traveling, New Year's gift giving and having dinners with friends or relatives. They account for 80% of total spending. Most spending is used to maintain or facilitate interpersonal relationship. This finding is not strange, since the Spring Festival is a Chinese traditional festival for family reunion. Developing relationship is beneficial and necessary for a person's fulfillment and investing on people we love is sweet and happy. However, we should not go to extremes. In China, there are many people fond of appearing extraordinary and hating to be known as weaker or poorer. They use handsome money to blindly pursue pride. Such intention causes huge waste of money and imposes heavy economic burden on people involved. The pride gotten by squandering money is transient and can only be a topic for gossip soon forgotten by others. Therefore, we should think rationally before opening our purses. We should remember it is happiness that is the main concern. （180 words in total.）

表格体现了春节开销的类型和各自的比例。人的钱在春节期间主要有三种用途：交通、送新年礼物和与朋友、亲人聚餐。它们占了花费总额的80%。 绝大多数开支被用来维护和促进人际关系。鉴于春节是传统的家庭团圆的节日，这个调查结果并不奇怪。发展人际关系对一个人的幸福是有益和必须的，在我们爱的人身上投资是甜蜜而幸福的。 但是，我们不能走向极端。在，很多人喜欢显得不凡，讨厌被认为比别人弱或穷。他们花大量的钱去盲目追求面子。这样的意图造成了金钱的大量浪费，给相关人带来了沉重的经济压力。靠挥霍钱获得的面子是短暂的，知识作为一个八卦话题，很快被其他人遗忘。因此，我们在打开钱包前，应该理性思考。我们应该记住幸福才是主要值得关注的事情。
