Dear Editor,

親愛的編輯，

I'm writing to tell you about the discussion we've had about whether an entrance fee should be charged for parks．

我寫信是要告訴你關于我們是否要收公園門票的討論。

Opinions are divided on the question. 60% of the students are against the idea of entrance fees. They believe a public park should be free of charge. People need a place where they can rest and enjoy themselves． Charging entrance fees will no doubt keep some people away. What is more, it will become necessary to build gates and walls, which will do harm to the appearance of a city．

在這個問題上我們意見有分歧。60%的同學反對這個收門票的想法。他們認為公園應該是免費的。人們需要一個可以休息和玩樂的地方。收門票，無疑會推開一些人。更重要的是，建大門和圍墻是必須的，這會損害城市的形象。

On the other hand, 40% think that fees should be charged because you need money to pay gardeners and other workers, and to buy plants and young trees. They suggest, however, fees should be charged low．

另一方面，40%的人認為收費是應該的，因為需要錢來支付園林工人工資，并購買新花木。然而，他們建議收費應低。

Yours truly,
