      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
