Dear editor,

I'm a middle school teacher. I'm writing this letter to tell you something.

Recently I've founded that some of the students in our school often go to the cyber café near our school. I visited the cyber café and found something surprising. Some students were playing computer games. Some were seeing films and what's worse, a boy was talking love on the screen. And also some students were watching something bad.

I don't think cyber cafés are places for fun. We should do some useful surfing there. So I suggest that we should persuade the students not to do those things again.

                          Yours,
