Subject: Can you
help? From: Fran |
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 her 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?
