Dear Mr. Scott, I'm writing to complain about my deskmate, Lana. She likes junk food (垃圾食品) and she always brings some to school. After she eats it, she drops the litter into my desk. She also has a bad habit. After she borrows my pencil, she doesn't return it. I get angry when she copies (抄袭) my homework. And she sometimes makes ink marks (墨迹) on my clothes with her pen. These things always happen and she doesn't care about my feelings. I need your help. Can you let me have another deskmate? Celia
Dear Celia, I'm sorry to hear that Lana has so many bad habits. And I'm glad that you discuss your problems with me. I talked to Lana yesterday. She said she did these things because of her carelessness(粗心). She wanted to be polite with our help. She agreed to put the litter in a bag. She said she would do her own homework and be careful with her pen. She asked you to remind (提醒) her by saying "Would you mind returning my pencil?" Would you mind not changing your deskmate? She is a nice girl. It's important for you to help each other and you will understand each other better. Scott
