Dear Chairman,

I’m a student from Class 1, Grade 3. I want to join in your club. At school, I study very hardly. I’m always ready to help others. I got on well with my classmates but I like to help them with their lessons. I often help the old to crossing the road. On the bus, I often give my seat to others. On weekends, I usually go to the park pick up rubbish. I want to join a club very much. For one reason, I like to make friend and work with others. For other, I will have more chances to help others. I would be glad if accepting.

                                                     Yours,

                                                     Li Ping

As physics is hard enough, I _____ study it.  

I was feeling a little blue. My mother had been laid off from her job, but she said she was OK since her boss wasn't the nicest person   36 .

I got off the college bus and started walking. That's  37  I heard piano music and singing rising above the  38 of the people and the traffic. I walked a little slower  39 I could find out where it was coming from.   40 the crowd I saw a young lady sitting at a piano with a   41 next to her, singing songs about love. The way she was singing  42 me a bit. I stood there watching her   43 for about fifteen minutes, thinking that it must take  44 to perform on her own in public.

Feeling my presence, she looked in my  45 . I walked over and put some money in her carriage. “I have been going through a   46  time lately, but you’re made me hopeful again.”

"I'm happy that I could   47 . Why are you so sad?"

"Well, my mum had got  48 from her job, but I’m not sure what to do….”

"You see, the way you were   49 ," she explained. “Don't look defeated,   50  comes in different ways. If your head is down you might never see it. Smile more ...   51  your head up."

I smiled slightly, amazed by how she was  52 me.

“Why are you playing here?” I asked.

“I am not making music. I study psychology. I often see many  53  people and hope to relieve their   54  and make them think positively by sharing music.”

I smiled a little wider. She was doing a good thing. My heart was touched by a   55 soul.

Dear Michelle,
My mother is not a good example for me and my sister. She smokes, stays out late, and she curses. I love her but I am ashamed of her. I do not want to bring home my friends because she does not act like any of the other mothers. She says I am a loser because I sit at home and I study. I wish I could live in another family that is normal, but that will not be for another 5 years when I am 18 and legal. What am I supposed to do until then?
Prisoner of a Crazy House
Dear 7th Grade,
I am glad that you love your mother because the rest of your feelings about her may change as you mature and get older.
While it is true that your mother’s smoking, partying and cursing bring you shame, the fact that you want to stay separate from her doing is notable and very smart. It shows that you are a winner, not a loser.
I am guessing, therefore, that you do not bring shame to yourself, and that is a good thing. So, keep it that way and keep away from your mother’s habits.
In the meantime, get the best grades as possible and join clubs and after-school activities. Offer social service on weekends and visit with your friends at their homes.
Unfortunately, you are not alone. Many teens live in homes with immature, misguided, selfish parents. Those kids often feel lonely and separate from the rest of their friends because of their parents’ terrible deeds.
Yet, despite this, some of these very teens grow up to be just fine. They develop good friendships with nice kids, do well in school, and often find a teacher of guidance advisor who makes all the difference!
Do it, Miss Winning 13-year-old, and keep looking forward to your own fine future. Maybe by then your mother may even see the light and realize how surprising you really are.
Best luck!
Michelle
