Dear Aunt Ada,
亲爱的艾达阿姨：
I'm a new student. Some girls in my class are not friendly to me although I tried to be nice to them. I want to be friends with them but I'm too shy to talk to them. They never talk to me. No one helps me because I have no friends in class. Can you help me?
我是一名新生。班上有几个女孩对我不友好，尽管我努力对她们好。我想跟她们交朋友，但是我太害羞了，我不敢跟她们说话。她们从不跟我讲话。没有人帮我，因为我在班上没有朋友。你能帮帮我吗？

Dear Linda,
亲爱的琳达：
I am sorry to hear about your problems and hope I can help.
听到你的问题我感到很难过，希望我能帮到你，
Maybe the girls don't understand you so they are not friendly to you. You don't need to feel bad about yourself. How about joining a club? Maybe you can meet friends this way.
可能女孩们不了解你，所以对你不友好。你不需要为自己感到难过。加入一个俱乐部怎么样呢？可能这样你能结交朋友。
If you are too shy to talk to people, they can't get to know you. You can start by saying hi to some of your classmates and have some short conversations with them. It may be difficult at first but the more you try, the easier it will become.
如果你太害羞不敢跟人讲话，他们就不能了解你。你可以从跟你的同学们打招呼开始，与他们进行一些简短的对话。一开始可能会困难，但是你尝试得越多，事情就会变得越简单。
I hope my advice helps. Please write to me again if you need any more help.
我希望我的建议能帮到你。如果你还需要帮助，请再给我写信。
Aunt Ada
