一封公开信 An Open Letter

Dear Editor,

I'm writing to tell you about the discussion on whether an entrance fee should be charged for parks. Opinions vary from person to person on this issue.

50% of the students disagree with the idea of entrance fees. In their opinion, parks are public places where all the people can have a rest and enjoy themselves. So if an entrance fee is charged, some people will surely be kept away from the park. Besides, in order to charge entrance fees,gates and walls must be built. They think that it will do harm to the appearance of a city.

40% of the students agree with the idea of entrance fees, because the gardeners need to be paid and new plants and flowers need to be bought.But fees should be charged reasonably.

Yours truly,

XXX

亲爱的编辑:

我写信告诉您关于公园是否要收门票的讨论结果。在这个问题上，意见有分歧。

60%的学生不同意收费。他们认为公园是公共场所，所有人都可以在那休息娱乐。所以如果收门票，必然有些人会被拒之门外。另外，为了收门票，就得建大门和围墙，他们认为这会破坏城市的形象。

40%的学生同意收门票。因为需要付给园丁工资，而且需要购进新的花木。但是收费应该合理。

XXX 敬上
