Hi， Congratulations on your great English mark. I am proud of you. I wish I were doing as well in my English class. I try really hard but I just dont seem to get any better. For example, we have to learn 40 new words every week and the teacher tests us on Mondays. I spend half an hour every afternoon learning the words, but I still get only about 20 out of 40 correct in the test. And Im not much better at reading. I read the passage and half the time it doesnt make sense. It takes me ages to read because Ihave to keep looking up words in the dictionary. Then I usually forget what Ive read. Have you got any suggestions? I need help. :-(.Best wishes， Donghua Read for general idea Donghua is writing this letter to ask for _ on how to solve her problems in _ and _. II.
