Dear editor,
I am writing to tell you about the discussions we’ve had about whether real friendship exists between boy students and girl st udents.
Opinions are divided on the question. Most of the students ar e for the idea that real friendship exists between them. They bel ieve that it is human nature to seek friendship. It helps them lea rn from each other and improve themselves together.
On the other hand, a few of them think that there is no real fri endship between boys and girls. Because it can easily lead to f alling in love at an early age and thus affects their study.
In my opinion, boys and girls can develop their friendship prope rly.
Yours truly,
Li Hua
