Sandy: Please help me. I am a girl from America. I cannot learn Chinese well. My Chinese teacher always speaks too fast. Many of my friends think Chinese is easy. But I don’t ! I cannot get high marks(高分). Sometimes, I cannot understand what the teacher says in class. How I hope I can have a Chinese pen friend.
Jim: I am too short. I am only 1.4 meters tall. I like playing basketball, but they all say I cannot be a good basketball player. How can I be as tall as all my friends? Can short boys play basketball? I hope someone can teach me how to be a good guide(后卫).
Joan: I want to be a slim girl. Some of my friends say I am too fat(胖). Is it because my parents are fat, too? Am I a pretty girl? When I see those slim girls, my eyes are green. I hope to know some ways to be slimmer.
Danny: I need friends. I am sad because I don’t have many good friends to chat with. I am not good at talking. And my face turns red when I am with many people. But I really want to have many friends. Can you tell me how to make friends with other children?

Recently there are about 55,000 children who don’t go to school each day in England. According to the law（法律）,all children between five and sixteen must go to school on weekdays, and their parents must make sure of this.
The number of children missing school is increasing. The government is worried, because, according to a research, children who often don't go to school are more likely（可能的）to smoke, drink under age or do some other bad things. Also, it’s difficult for them to do well in exams. What’s more, it’s harder for them to get a job after they leave school. Since 2002,the police have kept checking town centers where truants（逃学者）often go. These happen twice a year. During each check, a student will be stopped and asked why they are not in school. This will happen even if they are with an adult. The police will stop and question（盘问）children who they think do not have a reason for being out of school. The police are not allowed to catch truants, but they can take them back to school. The police said there were nearly twice more boys playing truant（逃学）than girls.

Some students think it difficult to learn English well. That’s because they don’t find the right way. I think reading is very important for students. The more you read, the better you’ll understand. Reading is helpful to listening, speaking and writing.
If you often read English aloud, you’ll improve your listening. On the other hand, listening a lot can help you to read better. Reading English everywhere when you are free, if you wish. You can get a lot of knowledge when you read. Sometimes you need to express your ideas, you can either speak or write. That means you are using what you learned from reading. The same as Chinese, the more you read, the better you can write. If you want to remember something, you should read again and again. So from now on, you’d better do more reading.

As a child , Alain Robert was afraid of heights. One day, when he was 12, he returned home from school. At the front door of his building, he looked for his keys. He didn’t have them. It was 3:30 pm and his parent worked until 6:00 pm. Alain looked at his apartment on the eighth floor.
He saw an open window. He closed his eyes and imagined himself climbing the building. When he opened his eyes , he told himself, “I can do it.” Fifteen minutes later, he was in his house and his fear of heights was gone.
Today, Alain still climbs buildings. In 2003, he climbed a building in London dressed as Spiderman to advertise the movie. In 2004, he climbed Taipei 101(one of the tallest buildings in the world). To reach the top of a building, Alain uses only his hands and special shoes. Alain climbs as a hobby. He also does it to make money for charity--- for children and the homeless. When he climbs, he wants to send a message to people. If you have a dream—something you really want to do – it can become real. But you must be brave and keep trying. If something bad happens, don’t give up. Close your eyes and tell yourself, “I can do it”.
