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 （持续）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 sometimes gives me some help. 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 and you can get good grades. Mr Unsmart |

Young People in Britain
Life used to be fun for “teenagers”. They used to have money to spend, and free time to while away(消磨). They used to wear teenage clothes, and meet in teenage coffee bars and discos. Some of them still do. But for many young people, life is harder now. 1. are difficult to find. There’s not so much money around. Things are 2. , and it’s hard to find a place to live in. Teachers say that students work harder than they used to. They are less 3. in politics, and more interested in 4. exams. They know that good exam results may bring them better jobs.
