Love is difficult to explain, but I will try. Love is a feeling between two people. It is a very happy and warm feeling. When two people love each other, they almost become one person. For example, if a father loves his child, he will feel sad when the child is sad and happy when the child is happy. There are many different kinds of love: you can love your parents or children, you can love your husband or your wife, or you can love someone outside your family. Friendship is also a kind of love. When two people are friends, they try to understand and help each other. A good friend will be there for you even when you are having a difficult time. Friends do things together and share thoughts, feelings and ideas. love and friendship are necessary if we want a happy world. If there is love, people will not do bad things to each other; if we have friends, we wont have to fee lonely or afraid. When people fee lonely and afraid, they often get angry with others and do mean things. If we learn to love and be friends, we can live happily together and solve the problems and difficulties. We must face in life. Your friend Xiao Hong,The structure of the sample letter The 1st paragraph: Self-i
