Dear Elli,
I’m a senior student. I like make friends with people but I do my best to get on well everyone. But in last week I found that one of my friends wrote in her English diary that she disliked me and that he didn’t want to be my friend any more. Now she has started to make fun of me because of I’m fat. I’m kind to her, but why can’t she be friend of mine? Other problem is about my weight. Should I do less exercise or use pills? And do you know any other way? Please give me some advices.
Yours,
Mary

Have you ever heard from the saying: All work and no play make Jack a dull boy? What this means is that if you study all the times you will bee a boring person. You must go out and having fun with your friends, otherwise you will lose him. No one wants to be friends with the person who that only works and studies. Perhaps you have a confidence problem. Please try remember that the work you do is for yourself rather than for anyone else. You do not have to pete your classmates. No one can be happier in studying seven day and seven nights a week.

Dear Tracy，
Although I'm 1 6 years old，but my father still treats me as a careless children. He doesn’t value my opinions. He is very strict with me and often punishes me about leaving things lying around in the house while he did this all time. I think he fails to set an example me to follow. But he often says：“Doing as I say，not as I do.”Even worse，he points out my past mistakes to guests，making me feel hurting. I love my father, but I can’t bear what he does. I have been tried many times to talk with he but he never listens. Please, help me.

Good morning, everyone. Yesterday I received a letter from a elderly gentleman. He told me the other day he saw that some student in our school uniform crowded onto a bus without waiting their turns. On the bus they refuse to offer their seats for old people. What was worse, they even said dirty words to each other. I am very much sorry for this. Today’s youth are tomorrow’s old people. Respect the old and caring for the young is a fine tradition of our Chinese. Every one of us have the responsibility to keep it up. I hope that you can learn something this incident and you will have good manners whether you are inside or outside the school. Thank you.

At the first class, the teacher asked us do a pronunciation exercise, in which he would say one word or two in French, and each student would do their best to copy.
