In it, my friend tells me to believe in myself and encourages me to be brave when facing difficulties. Every time I read the letter, I feel warm and become strong in the face of challenges. What’s more, the letter reminds me of my good days at primary school. I regard it as a symbol of our friendship. That’s all.
