　　Dear Alice,

　　You really have two different questions here, so we'll discuss them one at a time.

　　Your problems at school. may be a result of a number of things. You don't say much about how these classmate's get along with each other. It's possible that all the students are feeling 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 find out why you are the class “outsider.”

　　In your letter you say you often offer to help others with their work. Is it possible that your classmates don't understand your offers? Could it seem that you were trying to “buy” friends with these offers?

　　Is it possible that you took no notice of your classmates when you had your good friend near you? They may have felt hurt at that time. It may take a time for them to believe in you if so. Try to ask one classmate directly what the problem is.

　　If you hear a negative(负面的) answer, at least you'll know what to do.

Yours truly,

Shelia

I was downtown (进城) yesterday , and decided (决定) to stop at the bank (银行) to see Alice Green. I thought she might have time to go to lunch with me. When I got to the bank, they told me she was just out for a few minutes. I asked them if she would be back by 11:30 or 11:45 and they said yes. I had some time, so I decided to wait for her. Then I walked over to some chairs by the windows and sat down. I decided to watch the front door because I knew she would come back in that way. I waited and waited, but she didn't come through (穿过) the door. Finally, I decided not to wait any longer. It was 12:30, and I was sure that she wouldn't be back until after lunch. I got up, and as I started to walk to the door, somebody called my name. I turned around and was surprised (惊奇) to find out that it was Alice. When I said that someone told me she was out, she told me she hadn't left her office all morning.
