Dear Mr. Hu,

My family moved here from England three months ago. I can’t speak Chinese well, and it’s difficult for people to understand me. I’m losing confidence.

Could you please tell me what I should do?

Katie

Dear Katie,

I’m glad that you let me know about your problem. Here are some things you can do：

1. Your class is going to have a Story Time this month. All of you should tell stories. You should tell one, too. I’m sure you can learn a lot from doing so.

2. Try to practise speaking with your teachers and classmates. Don’t be afraid.

3. Talk to Nanako and Yu­kim. Nanako is from Japan，and Yu­kim is from Korea. They might be able to give you some advice.

Please try these ideas and see if you can do better. Don’t worry too much. I have confidence in you.

Mr. Hu
