Dear Alice,

You really have two different questions here, so we’ll discuss them one 31 a time. Your problems at 32 may be a result of many things. You don’t say much about 33 these classmates get along with each other. It’s possible 34 all the students are 35 a little cautious(谨慎的)in the first term.

It’s also possible that the others are unkind. If this is so, you have to 36 out why you are the class“outsider”. In your letter you say often help others with their work. Is it possible that your 37 didn’t understand your offers? Could it seem that you were trying to“buy”friends with these offers?

Is it possible that you 38 no notice of your classmates when you had your good friends near you? They may have felt hurt at that time. If so, try to ask one classmate 39 what the problem is. If you hear a negative answer, at least you’ll know 40 to do.

Yours truly

Shelia

where easy in develop nice while everything look parent safe

Let’s be honest: no matter how old we are, most of us feel happy when our parents do things for us. It makes our life 41 , and we have less to worry about.

Some parents are used to doing almost 42 for their children. They see their older children(and sometimes even adults) babies! It can be a very common problem in China, 43 parents only have one child. Some parents care so much about the 44 of their children that they are afraid to let them go anywhere or do anything by themselves. As a result, their children fail to learn necessary skills, and come to depend more on the parents!

In fact, no children really enjoy being 45 after by their parents all the time. On the other hand, no parents would be happy knowing that their children don’t know much about the world as a result of too much care! Children need their own time to 46 into adults and to learn how to deal with problems. Too much care spoils(破坏)their fun 47 they are growing up. And when suddenly they can’t depend on their parents, these“children” will be 48 big trouble!

It is nice that parents show their care and attention to their children. It is nice that children know that their 49 care and attention is the result of love. And it will be 50 if the children let their parents know how much love they really need, and how much love is too much.
