Answer

Dear John,

I hear that you are not sure about becoming an artist because of your family’s objections. As far as I am concerned, you should stick to your dream and try to become an artist.

For one thing, it has been your dream since you were a child. For another, being an artist doesn’t necessarily mean that you can’t have a stable job or high salary to support yourself. On the contrary, if you try your best, you will be a success artist all over the world. In addition, being an artist is something great, as artists are like bridges that connect human and nature.

I hope you will find these suggestions useful. I’m looking forward to your reply.

Yours

Li Hua
