——致哥伦比亚号宇航员的父母们

Dear parents of the Columbia astronauts.
亲爱的哥伦比亚号宇航员的父母们：
I am a student from X X Middle School in China. My name is Li Ming. I was very sorrowful when I learned from TV that SpShuttle Columbia broke up during re-entry and seven astronauts all lost their lives. You have lost your lovely sons arid daughters. You must be very grieved. However, you must also be proud of your children, because they have done great contributions to space projects. So please restrain your sorrow.
我是一个来自中国xx中学的学生，我叫李明。我从电视上得知哥伦比亚号宇宙飞船在返航过程中解体，七位宇航员全部遇难，我感到非常悲痛。你们失去了可爱的儿子和女儿，一定非常悲痛。然而，你们一定也为你们的孩子感到骄傲，因为他们已经为航天事业作出了巨大贡献。所以请节哀。

Although this time they thiled, we could I get some experience from their failure. We will continue developing space projects, because we can explore the space through those projects and search for more information about sion that they haven' t done.
尽管这次他们失败了，但我们可以从他们的失败中汲取经验。我们会继续发展航空事业，因为通过它们我们能够探索外层空间，搜索有关这个世界的更多信息。我们会继续完成他们未完成的任务。
Yours Sincerely
你诚挚的朋友
Li Ming
