I love it very much. It makes me feel brave and warm. Every time I see it, I remember your love. Life in junior high is very different now. The school is much bigger than primary school. We have more subjects like history and geography. I also need to do homework every day. It's busy, but interesting! Sometimes I feel worried. Science is a little hard for me, and I'm shy to talk to new classmates. But don't worry! I will study harder and take notes carefully. I'll try to join clubs to make friends. I promise to be brave like the paper boat in the river. Thank you for always helping me! Love, Mia 写作支架对照：致谢句（Thank you so much for...
