Dear classmates,
It is exceedingly great to hear the news that Students’ Union is planning various activities to inspire some traditional virtues. And today, this open letter is for the purpose of advocating thrift.
China is best characterized by its many virtues, and thrift is one of them. However, compared with before, the phenomenon of wasting is more serious: water, food, money and time are not cherished in daily life. It is this ignorance that leads some youngsters to lose their awareness of saving and respecting others’ hard work. Accordingly, it is advisable for us to change/ reverse this trend.
Please consider our sincere hope/ suggestion, and look forward to your actions and participation!
Students’ Union

亲爱的同学们,
很高兴听说学生会正在策划多种活动来激发一些传统美德。今天,本公开信旨在于倡导节约。
中国的突出特征是其众多美德,勤俭即是其中之一。然而,与过去相比,浪费现象更严重:日常生活中水、食物和时间都没有被珍惜。正是这种忽视使得一些年轻人失去了节约和尊重他人劳动的意识。因此,我们应该改变这种趋势。
请考虑我们诚挚的希望/建议,期待着大家的行动和参与!
