Answer 1

Dear Haiqing Xu,
I am writing to tell you about vanity, if someone spend a lot of time in pursuit of famous brand, pay more attention to how to dress every day,it would has no extra energy to do the more meaningful things. To buy many famous brand would make your parents spend a ot of money.they have to bear the heavy economic burden. So vanity is harmful, gorgeous appearance could not hide mind of empty, This people would not be succeed, because they had never be steadfast in work and life
So be more happier.Looking forward to your early change in your opinion .
亲爱的徐海青:
我给你写信是想跟你说说关于虚荣心的话题。一个人如果花很多时间追求名牌，每天过于注重穿什么，戴什么的话，他就没有多余的精力去做更有意义的事。追求名牌会花掉父母很多钱，使父母的经济负担加重。可见虚荣心是有害无益的，华丽的外表无法掩饰心灵的空虚，这些人是不会成功的，因为他们不曾扎实地生活和工作。
所以快乐些吧。期待你早日改变你的看法。

英文文化中对名牌并不十分看重，量力而行。而且，那位好友并不是用英语生活的，应该用中文谈。这是把英文学反了。是不是？
