Dear Sir,

I would like to recommend Liu Hua for this year’s Youth Service Award.

Liu Hua is a clever girl. She is very good at drawing and she often teaches children how to draw after school.

Liu Hua is kind and friendly. She comes to our community center every day. She does a lot of things for the center. Sometimes she comes to the center at the weekends to teach English. All the members of the community center like her very much.

Last month, Liu Hua broke her arm while playing tennis, but she did not stop coming to the center. She said that she felt happy to help others.

Many members think that Liu Hua should get an award for her hard work. We look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Xiao Hong
