Sandy: Please help me. I’m a girl from America. I can’t learn Chinese well. My Chinese teacher always speaks too fast. Many of my friends think Chinese is easy. But I don’t! I can’t get high marks (高分). Sometimes, I can’t understand what the teacher says in class. How I hope I can have a Chinese penfriend!Jim: I’m too short. I’m only 1.4 meters tall. I like playing basketball, but they all say I can’t be a good basketball player. How can I be as tall as my friends? Can short boys play basketball? I hope someone can teach me how to be a good guard (后卫).
Joan: I want to be a slim girl. Some of my friends say I am too fat. Is it because my parents are fat too? Am I a pretty girl? When I see those slim girls, my eyes are green. I hope to know some ways to be slimmer.
Danny: I need friends. I’m sad because I don’t have many good friends to talk with. I’m not good at talking. And my face turns red when I’m with many people. But I really want to have many friends.
Can you tell me how to make friends with other children?
