Dear Amy,

  I couldn’t read your two e-mails until today because my computer was broken.I’m sorry to hear about your problem, but I’m glad you’re feeling better and are recovering(康復(fù)).I’m surprised that in China someone’s liver(肝臟)matched yours!

  You’re right.We shouldn’t care too much about our weight.I’m happy you stopped taking those weight-loss pills.From your photo I can see you are now looking very well in the hospital.To keep slim is important, especially for an actress, but nothing is more important than health.Your doctor’s advice is indeed very good– exercise for at least half an hour every day and eat lots of fruit and vegetables.

  It’s not only in your country.It’s the same here with us Chinese-many people are always going on diets or taking weight-loss pills, which are often dangerous.But in fact, some of them are not overweight(超重)at all.I hope these people can learn something from your story.Hope you will leave hospital as soon as possible.

Love
