Dear Xiaogang,

　　Perhaps your problem comes from shyness（害羞）. You might be afraid of meeting new people, because you feel you are too serious(严肃的). You must push your shy side away and show your classmates how interesting you can be.

　　It is OK to do this slowly. It takes time to get to know a person and it takes time to find someone with whom you really get on.

　　The first thing you must do is smile to your classmates. One smile speaks louder about your wish to make friends than any words. Do this as often as you can, until your classmates become used to（适应）your smiles and smile in return.

　　The next thing to do is try to talk to your classmates. The best time to do this is between classes or during your lunch time. Make sure that they are not busy. You may find it easier to start by talking to people when they are alone, instead of in a group.

　　There must be someone else in your class who is also quiet. It might be easier to try and talk to someone who is as shy as you.

　　Your problem is mainly（主要地）about confidence（自信心）. Smile first, talk next and slowly you will make friends. Once you have more confidence, you can make as many friends as you want.

Information is received into our brain by attention, and its quality determines (决定) how well it will be processed, saved and used afterwards.
All information we receive is chosen by our attention. Factors (因素) affecting (影响) our attention are personal interest, experience, ability, feelings, knowledge, environment, timing, and so on. The same information may attract different forms and levels of attention from different people. Some people can get and save the information easily; some may have great difficulty; while others may just turn a blind eye to it. To the same information, one may even pay different levels of attention at different times. But if the facts work together, the quality of attention may be better. Therefore, it is not surprising to see that somebody with average intelligence (智力) can have excellent performances in some fields.
The good news is that a person's attention can be shaped, trained and made stronger by effective exercise. With this in mind, we should keep improving the quality of our attention.
