unit 1 如何写劝说性建议信

Dear Miss Wang,

I ’m a student from Huzhou Senior High School. I have a problem. I ’m not very good at communicating with people. Although I try to talk to my classmates, I still find it hard to make good friends with them. So I feel quite lonely sometimes. I do want to change the situation, but I don’t know how. I would be grateful if you could give me some advice.

Yours, Xiao Dong
