下面是21世纪报中学生版（21st Century School Edition）刊登的一封读者来信，请你以编辑的身份给这位中学生写封回信。

Dear editor,

I spend most of my time studying. I hardly talk to my classmates. Sometimes I don’t care much about others, but I do want to talk. I just don’t know what to talk about and how to begin a conversation.

I feel so lonely. How I wish I had a good friend! Could you give me some advice?

Yours,

Jin Jing

（3）先试着与一个和你同样害羞的或和与你有同样爱好的同学交谈，可以问一些学习上的问题，谈谈共同的爱好；

（4）帮助学习和生活上有困难的同学。

2．词数100左右。信的开头已写好，不计入总词数。

3．参考词汇：自信self-confidence n.     缺乏: lack  vt.

Answer 1

One possible version：

Dear Jin Jing,

    Your problem is a common one among middle school students. Maybe the following advice can help you. First of all, believe in yourself. Your greatest problem is that you lack self-confidence. The first thing you must do is to smile at your classmates. One smile speaks louder about your wish to make friends than any words. Your smile will show that you are friendly to them. Next, try talking with a student who is as shy as yourself or who shares the same interest as you. You can discuss your studies with a classmate, and you can also talk about your hobbies as well. If anyone is in trouble in life or study, you should be ready to help him or her. Once you have confidence, you can make as many friends as possible.

                                                 Yours,
