 Dear George,

      I’m fourteen and I’m much shorter for my age. What’s worse, I’m very fat. I want to lose weight to be 55 kg and to be taller and then I can go to the school basketball team and enjoy myself. Can you help me?

Bob

 Dear Bob,

Don’t warry if you’re shorter than your friends. Teenagers（青少年）grow at different times.

 It doesn’t matter how heavy you are. You are still the same person. Plan your meals with your mum, and she can help you lose weight. Also, try to take more exercise.

 George

You are right. You shold never give up, and I’m sure that you’ve mde more progress than you think. You can talkto your teacher and ask her what you should do to get a better grade. Talk to your friends who are good at French. Find something that helps you.

I knocked into a man as he passed by．"Oh，excuse me ，please，" I said．He replied，"Please excuse me too．I didn't notice where I was going．"

Later that day，while I was cooking，my son stood behind me quietly When I turned around，I nearly knocked him down．"Move oat of the way，" I shouted．He walked away with his little heart broken．

That night while I was lying in bed，a voice crone to me，"When saying to that man，you used good manners．But to the child you love，you seemed to act in a bad way．Look at the kitchen floor，and you'll find some flowers there by the door．Those are the flowers your son brought for you．He picked them himself He stood quietly to give you a surprise，and you never saw the tears in his eyes．"

By this time，tears began to run down my face．I took the flowers and went to his bed．I asked him，"Are these the flowers you picked for me?"

He smiled．"I found them by the tree．I picked them because they're pretty like you．I know you'd like them"

"Son，I'm sorry for the way I acted today．I shouldn't have shouted at you that way．"

"Oh，Morn，that's OK．I love you anyway．"

"Son，I tore you，too．And I do like the flowers．"

If we die tomorrow，the family we leave behind will feel sad for the rest of their life．Why don't we spend more time with our family，and why aren't we nice to them?
