I understand how you feel. It is common for teenagers to feel lonely when they live away from their parents. I think you can try joining a volunteer group that helps other people. This will give you a chance to meet and be around others. It will also help you realise that you are not alone in having problems and that many other people have problems， too. Helping other people also makes us feel better. You can also connect with your parents online. Just because your parents are far away，it doesn’t mean you can’t talk to them. I am sure that you’ll make new friends and get a chance to speak to your parents more often. This will help drive away your loneliness. Best wishes， Susan Luo 30 10 September 2018 Dear Eric, You wrote that you are worried that your parents won't listen when you tell them things. I understand that you are anxious and feel terrible. I think you must always keep in mind that you have to respect them because they are your parents. Try to understand your parents. Your parents may think differently from you. Tell your parents what you think, what you care about and why. I am sure that if you can put yourself in their shoes, you may find a better way out to communicate with your parents. Best wishes, Susan Luo 10 September 2018 Dear Xu Ting， You wrote that you always feel lonely after school because your parents work in another city. I understand that you need parents' love and care greatly, which is natural/necessary. I think you can find another way to communicate with your parents Besides, why don't you talk about these feelings with your friends/ teachers? They will be helpful, because they spend lots of time with you and may understand you better. I am sure that in this way you will feel relaxed and much better Best wishes, Susan Luo 31 Consolidation 32 假设你是校英文报编辑李华，近期收到一封署名为Anxiety的求助信，在信中该同学表示由于考试临近压力剧增。请用英文给该同学回信，内容要点如下： 1.表示安慰； 2.提出建议； 3.表达祝愿。 注意： 1.词数80左右； 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 33 Dear Anxiety, I’m sorry to know that you are experiencing a tough time now. Actually, everyone will encounter such a period when they are under great pressure, so there is no need to worry too much. In my opinion, sharing your feelings with your friends is a wise choice as you can remove your negative emotions. Another effective suggestion is that you should take more physical exercise, which can lift your spirit. Also, keep an optimistic attitude towards life about your future.
