*成长中每个人都要面对烦恼，并解决问题。假设你叫刘明，是美国中学生艾丽的朋友，你收到了她的电子邮件，请给她回复，回答她的问题，提出你的建议，并就此事谈谈你的看法。
范文
Hi! Alice,
I’m glad to hear from you. Yes, I sometimes have the same problem. I think if she really needs the money, you’d better lend it to her. You don’t need to worry too much. She’ll probably pay you back when she has money. If you don’t lend her the money, I’m afraid you may lose the friend.
I think everyone may have trouble in life and we should help each other. So when my friends need money, I will try my best to help them. Maybe I’ll get it back, or maybe I won’t.
I hope what I said can help you.
Yours, Liu Ming

Less Pressure, Better Life
Hello, boys and girls!
Pressure is a serious problem in today’s world. Students in our class are under too much pressure. Some students can’t get on well with their classmates, while others may worry about their exams。
I’m always under pressure, too. My parents want me to be the top student in class. So they send me to all kinds of training classes at weekends。
Last Monday evening, I had a talk with my mother. I told her I was not lazy. I really felt tired. I needed time to relax. My mother agreed with me at last. So I think a conversation with parents is necessary to solve the problem。
That’s all. Thank you!

Dear Dave,
I’m glad to get your letter asking for my advice on how to learn Chinese well. Here is my advice. First, As a foreign, you need to go and join a Chinese learning activity group, the most important thing is to remember as many Chinese words as possible.
Second, if you want to improve your listening ability, you’d better read Chinese books, listen to the tapes and radio programs in Chinese. You can watch the Chinese TV programs or DVDs.
Third, you make some Chinese friends. Your friends can teach you a lot of Chinese songs and introduce some Chinese festivals to you, too.
I think we will have a good time .write to me soon.
Yours

人们对于学生网上交友持不同意见。请你用英语写一篇关于学生网上交友的短文，介绍人们的不同观点，并表达自己的看法。
1.广交朋友 1.浪费时间
赞成的理由 2.可自由表达思想 反对的理由 2.影响学习
3.有利于外语学习 3.可能上当受骗
你的看法是？
【参考范文】
Should students make friends on line? Some people say yes. Internet helps people make many friends. Chatting on line, students can express more freely their feelings and opinions, and even get help for their foreign language studies。
Others, however, think students should not. They say making friends on line is a waste of time, which should be spent more meaningfully on study. Besides, some students get cheated on line。
It is my opinion that students should place their study, health and safety before other things. As for friendship, we can readily find it in our classmates and other people around us。

Dear Alice,
As a teenager, I met the same problem as you. But now I can get along better with my mother. Here are some ideas/advices for you.
Your mother talks much, because she cares about you. Maybe it’s not a good way, but it shows your mother’s love. So I think you should listen to her. If your opinions are different from your mother"s, you can communicate with her, and tell her what you are thinking about.
If your mother doesn’t take your advice, just keep silent and give her a smile.
I hope what I say here can help you a lot.
假如你是初三学生杨帆，在复习备考阶段遇到烦恼时。你的笔友Mike给过你很多鼓励。现在请你给他写封回信，感谢他对你的鼓励和帮助。
内容提示：1. What troubled you? 2. How did he encourage you? 3. Thanks for his help.
参考答案:
Dear Mike,
Although I haven't written to you for a long time, I'd like to thank you from my the bottom of my heart.
Since I failed in the PE test, I've lost interest in studying anything. I believed no matter how hard I worked. I wouldn't realize my dream to be a famous senior high school. It's you who encouraged me to overcome myself.
What you said is right. Whether to enter an ideal school is not my real goal. The most important thing is that one should always dream to be better. As long as I try my best with the spirit of not giving up, everything will be OK.
Having a friend like you, I'm sure we'll make progress together. Thank you.
Yours,
Yang Fan
