Dear　editor,　

I　spend　most　of　my　time　studying.　I　hardly　talk　to　my　classmates.　Sometimes　I　don’t　care　much　about　others,　but　I　do　want　to　talk.　I　just　don’t　know　what　to　talk　about　and　how　to　begin　a　conversation.　

I　feel　so　lonely.　How　I　wish　I　had　a　good　friend!　Could　you　give　me　some　advice?　

Yours,　Jin　Jing

（1）要相信自己。你最大的问题是缺乏自信；　（2）微笑面对同学，让他们相信你是友好的；　（3）先试着与一个和你同样害羞的或和与你有同样爱好的同学交谈，可以问一些学习上的问题，谈谈共同的爱好；　

（4）帮助学习和生活上有困难的同学。　

2．词数100左右。信的开头已写好，不计入总词数。　3．参考词汇：自信self-confidence　n.　　　缺乏:　lack　vt.
