Dear Mr. Hu,

My family moved here from England three months ago. I can’t speak Chinese well, and it’s difficult for people to understand me. I’m losing confidence.

Could you please tell me what I should do?

Katie

Dear Katie,

I’m glad that you let me know about your problem. Here are some things you can do：

1. Your class is going to have a Story Time this month. All of you should tell stories. You should tell one, too. I’m sure you can learn a lot from doing so.

2. Try to practise speaking with your teachers and classmates. Don’t be afraid.

3. Talk to Nanako and Yu­kim. Nanako is from Japan，and Yu­kim is from Korea. They might be able to give you some advice.

4. Some foreign students told me that watching Happy Times on TV can help. The language is easy.

Please try these ideas and see if you can do better. Don’t worry too much. I have confidence in you.

Mr. Hu

Dear editor,

  My English teather is very strict(严厉) with us. Several days ago,when we are in class. Tom asks me a question. But she thought we were speaking. She asks us to stand at the back of the classroon for a few minutes. This made me uncomfortable. After that,I feel nervous in her class,so I don’t like her class. However ,I really want to learn English well. What should I do?Please help me.

Yours.

Mike

Dear Mike,

  I am sorry you are having difficult with your English class. Every teacher wants his or her student to study hard. So I think you should have a talk whit you English teacher and tell her what you were doing with Tom that day. If she knows your worries,maybe she will help you with your English. And she will be pleased to hear that you want to learn English well. I believe when students are not trying as hard as they can,a teacher is forced(被迫) to take action.

Yours,                                                                Editor
