Dear Auntie Em，

Great news! Mrs. Mumford just told me I had been chosen as one of the school           （61）　　 （student） to visit the University of Cape Town in South Africa this summer! She said the program （62）　　 （design） for some of the brighter teenagers to experience a different culture．（63）　　 a good chance!

The only problem is：mom and dad （64）　　 （simple） won't let me go．They said it was dangerous for me，a girl，（65）　　 （travel） alone．But my guess is that they think it too expensive．I kept telling （66）　　（they） I had been on a plane alone to visit you in Texas before．They needn't worry about me（67）　　 this trip would be almost the same as that one．（68）　　．They just won't listen!

Will you help，Auntie Em？It will be （69）　　 very important experience to my personal growth．

Love，（and love you even （70）　　 （much） if you manage to make mom & dad agree with me．）
