Dear Mandy，
I'm not doing well in my lessons at school，especial in maths．My dad says I must try hard because he wants me go to university．He thinks I'm lazy，but it's not true．I work really hard，often study late into the night!I've tried to talk to my mother，but she always said I have to work as hard like my brother does．My brother doesn't study very hard，and he always gets excellent grades．It's not fair!The only thing I like it is art．My teacher says I'm the best student she's had for year．When I told my dad，all he said was，"You mustn't waste your time in art．You must focus your mind on your lessons!"I'm feeling quite puzzling as to what to do now．Would you please help me out？
Thanks a lot!
Yours sincerely，
Lisa．

Qu was a minister of the State of Chu （235）situated （situate） in the present-day Hunan and Hubei provinces，during the Warring States Period（战国时期）．He was upright，loyal and highly respected．（236）However，he was dismissed from office．（237）Realizing （realize） that the country was in the hands of evil officials，Qu leapt into River Miluo on the fifth day of the fifth month．Nearby fishermen rushed over to save him but were （238）unable （able） to recover his body．
