Dear Editor,
I’m a middle school student. And I am very interested in English. I think English is very useful and important to us. Every day I try to listen to English on the radio and write diaries. But it’s not easy for me to remember words. We have many chances to speak English, but I’m very shy. So when it’s my turn to speak, I often feel very nervous of making mistakes. Now no matter how hard I work, I can’t improve my English. What should I do now? Please give me some good advice.
Thank you very much for helping me.
Looking forward to receiving your reply.
Peter

How is he ever going to get into college if he doesn’t get 49 at maths?
Needless to say, my worries never really amounted to much. Moms 50 to worry and worry, while whatever they are worrying about usually disappears on its own or is quickly replaced by another 51
During high school，Joe slowly improved at maths. He 52 algebra l， geometry and algebra l , our state requirements for maths. One day he said to me：“I would be taking pre-calculus(学习微积分前必修课程)in my last year of high school. 1 want to do really well in college.

No，my oldest son wasn’t perfect. He ash’s a maths genius，either. But he knew what was important：he Was focusing on his future while I was worrying over his 54 . Joe was trying to do his best even when he knew how hard that was going to be. And that, to me. is even better than being 55
