题目内容
Dear Ms White,
I used to have a lot of problems and I always tried to fix them. I used to do badly in English. To fix it, I read English newspapers and went to the school English corner to improve it. Now I’m quite good at it. I used to be weak. To fix it, I ate right and joined a sports club. Now I’m strong and healthy. I used to be afraid of speaking in public. To fix it, I took part in all kinds of school activities. Now I’m outgoing and everyone likes making friends with me.
But now I have a problem that I can’t fix. I have the ugliest nose in the whole world! It’s not only fat but also big! I want to have a nose job (鼻子整形), but how can I get my parents to agree?
Yours,
Ann, 12

Dear Ann,
It sounds like you’re a really proactive (积极主动的) person, always fixing problems. That’s good, but when it comes to things like your nose, you have to stop. It sounds to me that you’re looking for things that are wrong with your body. That’s very dangerous. Also, I’d like to point out that nobody is perfect. A nose doesn’t reflect who you are, so there’s no need for you to feel bad about yourself at all.
In my opinion, as a student, you should pay more attention to your schoolwork instead of your looks.
Best wishes,
Ms White
