Answer 1

Dear John,

　 Your problem is a common one among middle school students. Maybe the following advice can help you. First of all, believe in yourself. Your greatest problem is that you lack self-confidence. The first thing you must do is to smile at your classmates. One smile speaks louder about your wish to make friends than any words. Your smile will show that you are friendly to them. Next, try talking with a student who is as shy as yourself or who shares the same interest as you. You can discuss your studies with a classmate, and you can also talk about your hobbies as well. If anyone is in trouble in life or study, you should be ready to help him or her. Once you have confidence, you can make as many friends as possible.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Yours,
