How are you?Today I’ve got a wonderful news to tell you.I have offered a scholarship at a university in Australia for my further education.One hundred and twenty students took exam for it,but only a few was chosen and I was one of them.However,my parents are not happy about it.They are strong against me going there.They say it is too far away that they will not see me for a whole year and they are afraid of I will feel lonely.They can’t imagine a girl so young live alone.They advise me to studying in the capital instead.Then I’ll be able to continue living with them.How can I persuade them to accept the fact I have grown up?
Best wishes,
Jane
