Dear Brad,
In about 3 months, I will take a very important test. If I pass the test with good grades, I can get to the
10th grade and choose a good school to study in. Now I am trying my best to achieve this. At the same time, I"m the monitor in my class, which means I should do lots of things for my class. ① I am so busy with my
school-work and duties as monitor that I don"t have enough time to keep a balance between them. Gradually
I become lazy. ② The other day, my head teacher told me that she was disappointed in my poor performance
as class monitor. Her words really discouraged me.
What should I do now, to give up or not to give up as class monitor? I must do my best in school because
how well I do will influence where I go after this school year is over and it can affect the rest of my life. Being
class monitor is also a valuable learning experience because my teacher trusts me to be a good leader. ③ I
don"t want to go to my parents for suggestions, for they will get worried about me. Can you tell me how to
choose?
Yours,
Gates

balance between them.

| One afternoon, my son came home from school and asked me, "Are all people the same even if their skin color is different?" I thought for a moment, then I said, "I"ll explain. Let"s go to a fruit store first. I have something interesting to show you." At the store, I told him that we needed to buy apples. And we bought some red apples, green apples and yellow apples. After we got home, I told Adam, "It"s time to answer your question." I put one of each type of apple on the table: first a red apple, followed by a green apple and then a yellow apple. Then I looked at Adam, who was sitting on the other side of the table. "Adam, people are just like apples. They come in different colors, shapes and sizes. See, some may not even look as delicious as others." As I was talking, Adam was examining each one carefully. Then, I took each of the apples and peeled them, placing them back on the table, but in a different place. "OK, Adam, tell me which one is the red apple, the green apple and the yellow apple." He said, "I can"t tell. They all look the same now." "Take a bite (一口) of each one. See if that helps you tell which one is which." He took big bites, and then a huge smile came across his face. "People are just like apples! They are all different, but if you take off the outside, they"re pretty much the same on the inside." "Right," I agreed. "Just like everyone has their own features but they are nearly the same." He completely got it. I didn"t need to say or do anything else.
