You can always find the advice column ( 建议栏) in the school newspaper. No one knows who writes
it. The students think their teacher does, but it might be a student using a false (假的) name. The students
enjoy thinking up problems for the advice column. Here are some of them and their answers.
ASK THE CLEVER MONKEY
Question: I'm always late for school. I try not to be, but I can't. Please advise me what to do.
Tommy
Answer: You are late for school probably because you go to bed too late. My advice to you is to go to
bed earlier, buy a clock to wake you up on time.
Q: I was brought up by my grandparents and began to live with my parents three years ago for a better
study environment. They love me; I can see this in their eyes. But I don't know how to show my love for
them. What can I do to let them know I love them back?
Sara
A: If you feel the need to show your love for your parents, that's great. Make sure you remember their
birthdays and buy them cards and presents. Try to spend time with your parents. Tell them how you feel.
Try to enjoy your life. Your parents want you to be happy-if you are happy, they will be happy, too.
Q: I'm one of the best students in my class. But I always make some mistakes which I should not make.
And now, I'm afraid to see my teachers. I just don't know how to face them. Can you tell me how I can solve
this problem?
Molly
A: The first thing you need to do is relax. Worrying about your studies is not going to help. If you have
any difficulty, tell your teachers. No teacher is going to get angry with a student who wants to improve
himself.
