答案: One possible version

Dear Jin Jing,

　　 Your problem is a common one among middle school students. Maybe the following advice may help you.

　　 First of all, believe in yourself. Your greatest problem lies in the fact that you lack self-confindence. 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 your classmates. Next try talking with a student who is as shy as yourself or who shares the same interests as you. You can ask a classmate about your studies,and you can also talk about the hobbies in common with your classmate. If a classmate is in trouble in life and study,you should be ready to help him or her. Once you have more confidence, you can make as many friends as you can.
