I find it _______ to do some reading every day.
---- Me too.

Dear Maggie,

I have a problem! I really don’t know what    21    (say) to people when I meet them for the   22   (one) time. I find it hard   23    (talk) to new people because I think they might laugh at me. I’m not as interesting, clever or funny as my friends. If people   24    (start) talking to me, they’ll realize I’m just   25   (bore). Please help!

Don’t worry. You are not alone. We have all   26   (feel) this way before.  If you enjoy   27   (do) things like acting, find a course to join. It can make you  28    (feel) better about yourself, or join a sports or hobby club. These can help you have fun and meet people. But remember, if you are really  29  (interesting) in someone, they  30   (not think) you are boring. So ask them lots of questions about themselves, and smile, and they’ll think you are great!

One of the most popular items in the school newspaper is the advice column (专栏). Here are some of the questions asked and their answers.
Q: I’m always late for school. I try not to be late, but I can’t help it. Please advise me about what to do. Tommy.
A: You are probably late for school because you don’t really like school. My advice to you is to enjoy school more, and then you won’t be late so often.
Q: I find it difficult to make friends. What do you think I should do? Sara.
A: I can’t advise you until I know more about you. Your problem may be that you are shy. On the other hand, it may be the opposite. You may be bold(大胆的). Write and tell me more about yourself.
Q: I’m always at the bottom (末尾)of the class. What do you advise me to do? Molly.
A: I advise you to try to improve your grades in one subject at first. Next, try to improve your grades in another subject. If you do this, by the end of the year you should be quite a long way up from the bottom in all your subjects.
