Hi, everyone, I’m Jane. Two years ago, my husband bought me a bicycle. If you live in a town, it is often faster than a car and you don’t have to worry about parking. You can leave it anywhere. As it has a seat at the back and a basket in the front, I can take my small daughter to school, to the library, to the shops, and to anywhere.
I use it most in summer when the weather is warm and dry. It can be very unpleasant in winter when it is cold and the snow is heavy. Of course, you must be careful on a bicycle. Accidents are not the only problem. One day I went shopping with my friends. But when I came back, I found that my bike’s front wheel was missing. It was a long walk to the bicycle shop. Now I have three strong locks(锁).
My husband uses my bicycle sometimes for short journeys. He says it is better than waiting for a bus. He still uses his car for longer journeys, but I think that all the sitting down is making him fat and lazy. I like riding on my bicycle because I can exercise a lot and get much fresh air, and this makes me feel much younger.

Dear editors,

I’m a slow student in my class. Most of my classmates are much better than me. So I get very stressed out. It’s difficult to keep on （持续）working hard and it’s really not fun. And I think although I spend much time studying for the tests. I can’t get good grades. My father sometimes gives me some help. He tells me not to worry about it. But what do you think I should do?

Mr. Wise,

I’m a slow student. Most of my classmates are much better than me, so I usually get stressed out. I spend much time studying for the tests but 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? 　　

Li Lei

Dear Li Lei ,

　　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 inventions that helped a lot of people. When I was at young age, I didn't do well at school. I just kept working hard and, at last, I succeed. You should take it easy and try your best. Tomorrow is another day. I believe you can do better.

Mr. Wise
