ASK THE WISE OWL

Q: I’m always late for school. I try not to be, but I can’t help it. Please advise me what to do. Tommy.

Q: I find it difficult to make friends. What do you think I should do? Sara.

A: I can’t advise you until I know about you. Your problem may be that you are shy. On the other hand, it may be the opposite. You may be too bold（大胆的）. Write and tell me more about yourself.

Q: I’m always at the bottom（底部）of the class. What do you advise me to do? Molly.

A: I advise you to concentrate(全神贯注) on improving your grades in one subject to start with. If you can do this, you should move a little way up from the bottom.
