Mr. Helpful,

    I'm not a top student .Most of my classmates are much better than me, so I usually get stressed out. Although I spend much time studying for the tests, I can't get good grades. Sometimes my father gives me some help. He tells me not to worry about it, but it doesn't work. What do you think I should do?

Dear Wang Tao

    Many famous people were not so good when they were young. Edison, a famous scientist, did poorly in his studies when he was a young boy .But , as an adult, he made many discoveries (发明)that helped a lot of people .When I was at a young age, I didn't do well at school. I just kept working hard and at last I succeeded .You should take it easy (慢慢来) and try your best .Tomorrow is another day. I believe you can do better.

Mr. Helpful

    Friends are an important part of our lives. We spend time with them, have fun together, and share our opinions, feelings and even secrets. Life would be boring without friends.

    Friends' influence who we are. help us learn, support(支持)us in good and bad times, and care for us even when we are not happy.

    Often. We have many happy moments with our friends. We need someone to share things with to make them more enjoyable. Being lonely for long periods of time is not a great feeling.

    That is why it is important to spend time making friends and nurturing (维持), a close group of friends.

    It is important to have a friend to talk to，whether(不论) it is about a sad or happy subject.

    In good times, it is wonderful to be able to celebrate with someone. It is also important to have someone support you if you have just had an unpleasant experience. Friends arc important pillars(中心人物)of support.

    Friends teach us important lessons. No one person is the same. As time goes by, we learn to respect one another's differences. This acceptance of others' differences is important as we meet more and more people in our lives, such as new family members, neighbours and new friends.
