Dear editor,
My English teacher is very strict with us. Several days ago, when we were having class, Tom asked me a question. But she thought we were talking in class. She asked us to stand at the back of the classroom for a few minutes. This made me uncomfortable. After that, I feel nervous in her class, so I don’t like her class anymore. However, I really want to learn English well. What should I do?
Yours,
Mike
Dear Mike,
I am sorry you are having a difficult time with your English class. Every teacher wants his or her students to study hard especially in class. So I think you should have a talk with your English teacher and tell her what you were doing with Tom that day. If she knows your worries, maybe she will help you with your English. And she will be pleased to hear that you want to learn English well. I believe when students are not trying to study as hard as they can , a teacher is forced（被迫）to punish them .
Yours,
Editor

In your opinion, how should a man dress, behave and talk? There is no single Standard(标准). Many girls today love xiaoxianrou, or "little fresh meat", which refers to young male stars who are delicate(精致的) and cute. Of course, there are also people who still appreciate the traditional male image of being muscular(肌肉发达的) and strong.
This topic caused some heated discussions across China in September.
It started when CCTV invited four young actors to perform on First Class for the New Semester(《开学第一课》), an educational TV show for primary and secondary school students that aired on Sept.1. The four actors all appeared feminine(女性化的)， having slender frames(苗条身材）and wearing makeup.
Afterwards, criticism(批评) of their appearance(外表) was everywhere on the Internet. Some called the actors "sissies", a word that is used to refer to men who have a "soft" appearance. Some parents believe that popularizing this kind of soft male image is in poor taste and could have an influence on their children's personal development.
"As famous stars, the male idols(偶像) focused too much on their appearance and failed to act as proper role models, "Xinhua said. "If men behave this way, China will never become the strong country it hopes to be", Xinhua added.
However, others have a more open mind toward it. "It's a stereotype(刻板印象）to think all male stars should be as masculine as Jackie Chan. As society diversifies( 多样化), there are more options(选项) for fans to choose from, "Liang Yurou,19, a college student from Fujian Province, told China Daily.
Some people also pointed out that gender can be expressed in different ways. As a male, caring about one's appearance has nothing to do with one's degree of "manliness".
"No matter what kind of personal style or quality he or she chooses to present, whether it is strong-willed or gentle, that doesn't stop them from being an excellent person, "China Women's Daily said in a report.
This was echoed( 附和)by People's Daily. "A man's strength should be judged (评判)according to their inner qualities-not their physical appearance, "it said in an article.

What do you know about failure?(失败) In one way of thinking, failure is part of life. In another way, failure may be a way towards success. The Spider Story is often told. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a cave form the English. He watched a spider spinning a web (结网). The spider tried to reach across a rough place in the rock. He tried six times and six times, he failed. On the seventh time, he made it and went on to spine his web. Bruce is said to have taken heart and to have gone on to defeat (击败) the English. Edison, the inventor of the light bulb made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one.
