Dear Pet,

Without knowing more about you, it’s hard for me to give you some good advice.

But first, I am sure that you are 39  . You said that nobody would care if you left home. What about your   40  ?  And other family members? It seems that you are very 41  . You’d better go to a doctor or talk   42  your parents. They will be able to help you.

Second, I’m sure there’s someone else in your class who feels lonely,   43 . You never know   44 other people feel. Try to make friends with your classmates. And you could 45 a club to meet new people and make friends, too.

You 46  find happiness in yourself. So my  47  advice is to write a list of all the good things about yourself, learn to like yourself, and then  48  will see your confidence (信心)and like you, too.

In today’s world many people seem to be hungry for money. Some of them even lose their lives for it. Money does have its most useful affection to the poor, but once a person has a rich life, a lot more money doesn’t mean more happiness.

If money was everything, all millionaires would have true love, true friendship, good health and a long life. However, this is not always true.
