【題目】A letter to school
Dear Alcohol，
You’ve been around forever. I can remember all the pain you’ve caused me.
Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car? He died the next morning, too. His sister walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio, She didn’t realize her brother was in the middle of it at all. She never saw him again. And it’s all because of you!
Do you remember the night of my first high school party? You were with my friends. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again. I spent about two hours that night helping my friends, “I’m sorry,” they said when I called taxis for some of them and took another two to hospital. Thanks to you, poor girls slept in hospital beds that night.
Do you remember the night you almost took my father’s life? I do! He loves you. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. He is addicted to(沉迷)you. You have brought him much more trouble instead of taking his problems away. One night, he drank too much of you and that nearly killed him! You just sat back and laughed when his car went like a flash through the street, crashing into two other cars. And he wasn’t the only one hurt by you that night.
I wish you’d walk out of my life forever. I don’t want to have anything to do with you. Look at all the pain you’ve caused. Sure, you’ve made people happy once in a while. But the damage you’ve caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable. Stop hurting the people I love and stop hurting me, please.
Sincerely.
Stella
