下面是一个中学生给某报编辑写的一封信，仔细阅读并就信的内容以编辑的名义给此中学生写一封120词左右的回信。
Dear Editor，
I am an active girl，and I speak and laugh loudly in the classroom，like a boy. I don’t care about small matters.On the contrary, my neighbour，the girl who sits next to me，speaks quietly and dare not do the things I often do.I can understand this.
What I can’t stand is that she often gets angry with me about small things.How can I get along with her?
Yours sincerely，
Sunny
