Dear Alice，
   As your school counselor（學(xué)校輔導(dǎo)員），I would like to give you some advice.I know that you are usually a very careful student and study very hard.But recently I can see that you keep to yourself more than before，and some of your teachers told me that you often seem upset or worried.
   I know that you took part in several singing competitions this year，and that you are preparing for another one.It seems that you are very interested in being famous.
   I know many students think that famous people have wonderful lives.Alice，life as a famous singer is very hard；you must practice and write new songs all the time.You must prepare for recordings，which is not easy.You must go on singing tours，which are very tiring and will often take you away from your family and friends.
   Also，famous people have no private lives.Strangers follow them everywhere.Safety is a big problem.If they marry，they often worry if their husband or wife truly loves them.If you make a lot of money，you will certainly have friends and family who ask you to do many things for them.Many famous people have very unhappy family lives.
   Alice，please think about the bad side of fame，not just the good.Now，when you are young，it is best to carefully study and prepare yourself for normal life.In the future，I'm sure you will be glad that you did so，whether you become a star or not.
Sincerely yours，
Mr.Anderson
