Dear Ms White， I used to have a lot of problems and I always tried to fix them.I used to do badly in English.To fix it，I read English newspapers and went to the English corner to improve my English.Now I'm quite good at it.I used to be weak.Then I ate right and joined a sports club.Now I'm strong and healthy.I used to be afraid of speaking in public.So I took part in all kinds of school activities.Now I'm outgoing and everyone likes making friends with me. But now I have a problem that I can't fix.I have the ugliest nose in the whole world! It's not only fat but also big! I want to have a nose job(鼻子整形)，but how can I get my parents to agree? Yours， Ann，12 |
Dear Ann， It sounds like you're a really proactive(积极主动的)person，always fixing problems.That's good，but when it comes to things like your nose，you have to stop.It sounds to me that you're looking for things that are wrong with your body.That's very dangerous.Also，I'd like to point out that nobody is perfect.A nose doesn't reflect who you are，so there's no need for you to feel bad about yourself at all. In my opinion，as a student，you should pay more attention to your schoolwork instead of your looks. Best wishes， Ms White |

It is school time again，a new start of a new period.
You are probably feeling excited and a little sad that summer is over.Some kids feel nervous or a little scared on the first day of school because of the new things，new teachers，and maybe even a new school.Luckily，these new worries only stay for a little while.
On your first day，most teachers start the school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the things you'll do that year.Maybe you'll have a chance to tell something about yourselves to the others of the class.The most important thing for you is to learn new rules and follow them.After all，rules can make the school life better.Besides，the most exciting thing for you is to meet new friends in a new place.The first day of school doesn't sound bad，but there is some advice for you to make you a better person，such as developing good learning habits，making a good plan and taking your new schoolwork seriously.The last but not the least is to have fun in your new school.
As the saying goes“Good beginning is half done”．
