There was once a boy who was afraid of the dark. He thought that his bedroom was filled up with monsters when it was dark. But there came a time when he was too old to be allowed to keep sleeping with the light on.
That first night he was filled with fear, his mind full of monsters. Therefore, he went over to his wardrobe to get a torch. But when he opened the wardrobe door, he saw a monster, face to face, and he let out the loudest scream in the world.
The monster took a step backwards, grabbed his colourful hair, stared at the boy with his single red eye, and …started crying! The monster cried for so long that the boy's shock and fear disappeared. He calmed the monster as much as he could, and started talking to him, asking him why he was crying, and what he was doing there.
The monster told him he lived in the wardrobe, but almost never went out, because he was afraid of the boy. When the boy asked him why, the monster told him the boy's face seemed to him the most horrible thing he'd ever seen with eyes, ears and a nose. The boy felt the similar way about the monster with a huge head full of mouths and hair.
The two of them talked so much that they became quite friendly, and they came to know that both of them had been afraid of the thing :the unknown. To lose their fear, all they had to do was to get to know each other. Together they travelled around the world, seeing lions, tigers, crocodiles and dragons. It was the first time either of them had seen such creatures, but they made the effort to get to know them. In the end, they ______and________.
And, although his parents weren't too happy, because they thought he was too old to still believe in monsters, the truth of it was that all kinds of creatures visited the boy's bedroom each night. And, instead of fearing them, he had learned to get to know them and be friends with them.

Dear Ms White, I used to have a lot of problems and I always tried to fix them by myself. I used to do badly in English. To fix it, I read English newspapers and went to the school English corner to improve it. Now I'm quite good at it. I used to be weak. To fix it, I ate right and joined a sports club. Now I'm strong and healthy. I used to be afraid of speaking in public. To fix it, 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(招致非议) 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 |
