Dear Aunt Carla,

I'm having a problem with my classmate, Joan, at school. The other day I wrote an email to another classmate, Beth, in which I said something about Joan that perhaps wasn't very nice. Unluckily, when Beth was writing back to me, she sent it to HYPERLINK "mail to: Joan@163. com, " Joan@163. com, which is Joan's email address!Now Joan is really angry with me and won't talk to me, and Beth is unhappy as well. She has said sorry to me a hundred times already, but the harm is done. I feel bad, because I would never have said those things to Joan's face, but how do I get her to forgive(谅解)me? What should I do?

Dear Eric,

This problem is more common than you might think!Email is very useful, but also very dangerous, as you don't know where your message might end up!First of all, you should say sorry right away to Joan. Explain that it was a mistake, and that you didn't mean to hurt her feelings. It may take time for her to be able to forgive you, but that's up to her. Then you might want to do something nice for her. Perhaps send her some flowers to show that you're truly sorry. Also, you should remember that old saying: "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. "And good luck!

Carla

Some people say today we don’t need to read to get information ( 信 息 ). These days we have photos, films and television. Why do we read a passage when we can look at a photo? Why do we read a book when we can see a film? Why do we read a newspaper when we can watch TV?

Photos can give us a very clear idea of things. But we also need words to explain (解释) the photos. A photo of an elephant may give us a very clear idea of what an elephant looks like, but it can’t tell us how heavy it is.

In the same way, a good film has pictures, sounds, and music. But reading a book needs you to imagine (想象). A man with good imagination can understand the book better. Each of us imagines a story differently.

Watching news on TV can be exciting. But we need newspapers as well. Some important news stories happen when there are no cameras ( 摄 影 机 ) around. More importantly, newspapers can explain why something has happened (发生).

Reading is part of our life. We need to be good readers to enjoy a full life as a man. Reading is a skill. It needs practice. So read every day!
