Dear Paul,

I haven’t seen you for a long time and I miss you very much. Now I’m writing to you to ask for your help. My doctor is a woman and I feel nervous about it,especially when I have to wear nothing at the doctor’s office. What should I do? I’m afraid to see the doctor even if I have a bad cold. Is there something wrong with me?

Please help me. I’m looking forward to your reply.

Peter

Dear Peter,

I'm happy to hear from you and I miss you,too.

As for (关于) your trouble, there is no need to worry about it. Little kids often run around wearing nothing and feel natural about it. But as you get older, you care more about your body and want to have your own room. So it’s normal to feel shy when taking off your clothes at the doctor’s office. But your doctor does need to examine (检查) you to make sure if you are healthy.

To make you more comfortable, you can ask your mom or dad to come into the examine room with you. You can also ask for a gown (长袍).Most doctors’ offices have these gowns for patients. So just relax, and your doctor can examine you better to keep you in good health.

Paul

Now students’ English handwriting (书写) gets worse and worse. Their teachers worry about that. Is your English handwriting beautiful? If not, here are three steps that really work!

Slow down

If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. For some kids, going a little slowly makes the handwriting clear. If you write too fast, it’s hard for you to stop where you should, and even worse, you may make more mistakes.

Hold your pencil correctly

When you hold your pencil correctly, writing is much easier. Some kids press down really hard when they write. That makes the handwriting not nice. Try to be relaxed and don’t hold the pencil so hard. Let your writing appear nice and clean. If you do so, people will guess you are a student with a good habit.

Draw more pictures

Drawing can improve your handwriting. You need to use the skills to control your pencil better when you are drawing pictures. Even though you have no chance to draw at school, you can practice by yourself at home.

Handwriting is very important. Imagine you are a world-famous movie star or a well-known sports player, what do you do when your fans run up to you? Give them your autographs, of course!
