己的感想；词数100左右。

参考词汇：大学录取通知书the university admission notice 学费 tuition fees

参：

参考范文：

Recently I have seen a picture which shows a student climbing a ladder to reach a university admission notice.However, it isn't a real wooden ladder.It is made of a large amount of money.Actually this is the high tuition fees of the university.Under the heavy burden stand the poor parents, their legs trembling because they can hardly afford it.

Going to university is a beautiful dream not only for students, but also for their parents in China.Maybe it is a good chance for them to change their lives.But the tuition fees often make them feel sad, for so much money is far more than they can ever earn.I think the government should try to reduce the tuition fees and take effective measures to make sure that everyone can have

access to advanced education.
