Dear Editor,

亲爱的编辑，

I'm writing to tell you about the discussion we've had about whether an entrance fee should be charged for parks．

我写信是要告诉你关于我们是否要收公园门票的讨论。

Opinions are divided on the question. 60% of the students are against the idea of entrance fees. They believe a public park should be free of charge. People need a place where they can rest and enjoy themselves． Charging entrance fees will no doubt keep some people away. What is more, it will become necessary to build gates and walls, which will do harm to the appearance of a city．

在这个问题上我们意见有分歧。60%的同学反对这个收门票的想法。他们认为公园应该是免费的。人们需要一个可以休息和玩乐的地方。收门票，无疑会推开一些人。更重要的是，建大门和围墙是必须的，这会损害城市的形象。

On the other hand, 40% think that fees should be charged because you need money to pay gardeners and other workers, and to buy plants and young trees. They suggest, however, fees should be charged low．

另一方面，40%的人认为收费是应该的，因为需要钱来支付园林工人工资，并购买新花木。然而，他们建议收费应低。

Yours truly,
