I am the Earth．Once I was in good health，but now I feel quite uncomfortable．

Yesterday I went to see Doctor Moon．She asked me，“What's wrong with you，Mr. Earth?”

I told her，“My children--the people--have destroyed the ozone（臭氧），so the sunshine is too strong．Now I have a high fever．Many trees have died．The dust（灰）always gets into my eyes．I smell the waste gas of cars every day．I can't take in clean air．I often suffer from earache，because I hear loud noises all the time．”

“Oh，Mr. Earth，” said the Moon，“Your illness is so serious．You must have a good rest and drink a lot of water every day．”

“That’s fine，but it often rains acid rain（酸雨），so I have no clean water to drink at all．” I replied．

“That's terrible! I'm very sorry，but I can't help you．” The Moon was very sad．

Oh，dear! What can I do? Who can save me?

Dear editor,  My English teacher is very strict (严厉)with us. Several days ago, when we were having class, Tom asked me a question. But she thought we were speaking in class. She asked us to stand at the back of the classroom for a few minutes. This made me uncomfortable. After that, I feel nervous in her class, so I don’t like her class. However, I really want to learn English well. What should I do?  Yours,  Mike

 

Dear Mike,  I am sorry you are having difficulty with your English class. Every teacher wants his or her students to study hard especially in class. So I think you should have a talk with your English teacher and tell her what you were doing with Tom that day. If she knows your worries, maybe she will help you with your English. And she will be pleased to hear you want to learn English well. I believe when students are not trying as hard as they can, a teacher is forced（被迫）to take actions.  Yours,  Editor
