Dear children，

How time flies!As your teacher，I'd like to talk about"behaving like a grown﹣up"with you before you leave school．

During our lives，we need the strength of other people to achieve our goals．（16）　　of us can make it on our own．

Maybe you're now too young to behave like a mature adult．When you run across a problem，try to stay calm and think more about before taking actions，then you're really on the way to be grown﹣up．

Yours faithfully，

Vivien
