Dear Jin Jing,
Your problem is common one among middle school students．Maybe the following advices can help you．First in all, believe in yourself．Your greatest problem is that you lack self-confidence．The first thing you must do it is to smile at your classmates．One smile speaks loud about your wish to make friends than any words．Your smile will show that you are friendly to him．Next, trying talking with a student who is as shy as you or who share the same interest with you．You can discuss your studies with a classmate and you can also talk about your hobbies．Unless anyone is in trouble, you should be ready to help him or her．Once you have confidence, you can make as many friends as possibly．
Yours,

Michael Joseph Jackson was born on August 29, 1958. He was born in Gary, Indiana. He was the seventh child out of nine children in his family. Michael was often physically abused (虐待) by his father, beaten up and also verbally （口头地） abused. But Michael also owed his success to his father’s being strict.
Michael was always an entertainer（艺人）. Even when he just joined school, he would perform in front of friends and classmates. Michael started his professional music career at the age of 11, as a member of the Jackson Five.
He’s well-known for increasing the popularity of MTV through his music videos. Before this, music videos were made just to promote the albums （专辑）. But Michael’s videos managed to change that in videos being made as an art, and for big business. Some of the music videos that are good examples of this fact are Beat It, Billie Jean, and Thriller. Through these works of his, the world got caught onto the idea of music videos and dedicated music video channels.
Michael enthralled his fans and audiences with his style of singing, dressing, and his complex dance moves, especially the “Moonwalk”. The moonwalk is something that people from every part of the globe loved and try to copy People have also done mass moonwalks all around to show their love towards him.
Michael Jackson supported 39 charities （慈善机构）. Through his work and various foundations, he raised and gave millions toward charity, much more than any other showman. He had great love for children, especially the poor ones, and he felt children were the next best thing after God.
Michael planed to start a 50-concert tour in July 2009. Sadly, on 25th June, 2009, Michael passed away at home.

A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms, though my teacher emphasized(强调)the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience
One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be surprised . Gently shaking his head, shrugging his shoulders, he said, “You don’t say!” “You don’t say!” I was puzzled. I thought , perhaps this is not an proper topic. “Well, I’d better change the topic. “ So I said to him, “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was wonderful.” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it.” Soon I was stopped again by his words: “You don’t say!” I couldn’t help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it ?” “Well, I didn’t ask you to do so,” he answered, greatly surprised. I said, “Didn’t you say ‘you don’t say’?” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, ‘You don’t say.’actually means ‘really’! It is an expression of surprise.
