Mei

Dear Knowledgeable,

My best friend, Mei, has a problem. There is a really important English

speech contest for our whole city next month. Our classmates want her to

represent the class in the school contest. Everyone is sure she will win. It’s

probably true. Mei is very clever, and can speak English really well. In fact,

she always comes top in the school exams. The problem is that she’s very

shy. She doesn’t want to let friends down, but she’s terrified of speaking in

front of other people. She’s my friend, so she can tell me that she’s shy. but

she can’t tell everyone that. I don’t think they would believe her. I can’t think

of any good advice to give her, but you always come up with good solutions

to people’s problems. What do you think I should tell Mei? What do you think

I should tell the rest of the students?

Dear Fran, I’m very glad to hear that Mei is so good at English. In my opinion, she should take part in the contest. It is a chance to show herself andlearn from others, She is very clever. There is no need for her to be shy. Tell her that the teacher and the whole class will help her with the contest and encourage her to practice in different ways. With the help of the teacher and the classmates, she will succeed. Do remember: try, then you’ll make it.
