　　One of the most popular items in the class newspaper is the advice column. No one knows who writes it. The students think their teacher does, but it might be a student using a false name.

　　The students enjoy thinking up problems for the advice column. Here are some of them and their answers.

　　Q: I'm always late for school. I try not to be, but I can't help it. Please advise me what to do. Tommy.

　　A: You are probably late for school because you don't really like school. My advice to you is to try and enjoy school more, then you won't be late so often.

　　Q: I find it difficult to make friends. What do you think I should do? Sara.

　　A: I can't advise you until I know more about you. Your problem may be that you are shy. On the other hand, it may be the opposite. You may be too bold. Write and tell me more about yourself.

　　Q: I'm always at the bottom of the class. What do you advise me to do? Molly.

　　A: I advise you to concentrate on improving your grades in one subject to start with. If you can do this, you should move a little way up from the bottom (末位). Next try to improve your grades in another subject, and so on.

I tried to make him change his mind, but I failed. “You should reconsider your decision (决定),” I said. “You have already spent five years in the bank and you could have a wonderful future (将来). You might become a bank manager (经理) by the time you are thirty-five.”

　　“I know,” Henry answered. “I have got no complaints (抱怨) with the bank. It is a pleasant job. The bank manager told me that my future was excellent (杰出的).”
