Dear editor( 編輯),       

Can't your newspaper do something about the custom (習(xí)慣) of hitchhiking?

A short time ago, on a car travel I counted at least 50 people standing beside the road, asking for rides. Many of them were young women.

Don't they understand how dangerous it is to get into the car driven by a stranger? How much do they know about the driver? Is he a good driver or not? They know nothing!

Many of these young hitchhikers may come from good families. Don't their parents teach them anything about the world? I always taught my children not to talk to strangers. I never let them take rides from people they didn't know.

Isn't there enough crime (犯罪) today without asking for trouble by hitchhiking? On the other hand, hitchhiking may bring some traffic trouble. Don't you think what I said is true?

A．the newspaper to let its readers know the danger of hitchhiking

B．young women never to go on a long travel alone

C．young people to listen to their parents at home

5. What do you think a good editor is going to do after he gets the letter?
