Xia Ming was worried about his study, so he wrote a letter to a magazine.
Dear editors, I’m a slow student in my class. Most of my classmates are much better than me. So I get very stressed out. It’s difficult to keep on working hard and it’s really not fun. And I think although I spend much time studying for the tests. I can’t get good grades. My father gives me some help sometimes. He tells me not to worry about it. But what do you think I should do? Xia Ming |
Two readers read the letter from the magazine and here are their answers:
Dear Xia Ming, Many famous people are not so good at the age like you. Edison, the famous scientist, had a bad headache for his studies when he was a 12-year-old boy. But everyone knows that he did a lot for the people in the world. And Newton had the same story like him. You should take it easy, then try your best. I believe you can do better. Thumbelina |
Dear Xia Ming, When you are feeling stressed out, just smile and take a deep breath(深呼吸), you should believe tomorrow is another day. Mr Unsmart |
