（主编）,

My English teacher is very strict with us. Several days ago, when we were in class, Tom asked me a question. But my English teacher thought we were speaking in class. She asked us to stand at the back of the classroom for a few minutes. This made me unfair （不公平）. 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. 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. Of course, you should know that what your teacher did was good for you. When you are not trying as hard as you can, she has to stop it and try to help you. Wish you have a better life!

Yours, Editor

In your life, there are a lot of people around you. They are your relatives(亲戚), neighbors, friends or classmates. Sometimes you get along well with them, but sometimes don’t. What can you do when someone hurts you? Most people may be angry or even fight with him. But it’s not a good idea. You’d better forget all this and forgive(宽恕，原谅) him.

Maybe it’s not easy for you to do that, but it’s possible. Please remember: Keep a good mood, and you will keep healthy. Staying angry with others, in fact, means letting others’ mistakes treat yourself unfairly.

How can you forgive others?

First, think of something pleasant and try to get yourself happy.

Second, don’t wait others to say sorry to you. If anyone hurts you, he won’t say sorry to you. He may just want to hurt you or just don’t see things the same way.

Third, try to see things in others’shoes. You can understand their minds better and make yourself a little happier.

At last, try to know yourself very well. Whose mistakes caused that, yours or others’? If it’s our fault, try to say sorry to them. If it isn’t, smile at the thing.
