“I believe you’re the right person to write an advice column (专栏) for the students called Dear Amy!” Jenny, editor of the school newspaper, said to Andy, who finally agreed to accept the job if Jenny promised not to tell it to anyone else.

At first it wasn’t too bad. Most of the letters he received were interesting and quite easy to answer. Then came a letter from a person named Joe.

“Dear Amy,” it began, “I’m in real trouble. I’ve wanted to be a songwriter all my life, but my parents don’t even let me take music lessons. I have a guitar, but they both get angry if I play. I’ve tried explaining, but they didn’t listen. I feel sad. Should I run away from home? Maybe that will make my parents agree.” The letter signed “Joe”.

Andy thought about this letter for a long time. Should he advise someone to run away from home? Probably not. But didn’t Joe have a right to be a songwriter if he wanted to? Andy thought hard, but couldn’t think out a good answer. Andy couldn’t sleep. He just worried about poor Joe.

At a bar a few days later, Eleanor, a girl in Andy’s maths class, sat down next to him and asked, “ What’s wrong with you? You look a little worried.”

“I guess I do,” said Andy.

“If you get a problem, why don’t you try writing to Dear Amy about it?” asked Eleanor.

Andy sighed. But Eleanor continued, “In fact, I guess Dear Amy is rather busy with other problems. She still hasn’t answered the phony letter I wrote her last week. You’d better read it — it may even make the most hard-hearted person cry! It was supposed to be from a songwriter named Joe.”

Respect your teachers.
First of all, students should respect the teachers. You should      your teachers in the classes. That means to give your respect to him, to stand from your chairs when the teacher enters the classroom, etc. Attend any class attentively. In class of a certain subject or a teacher you don’t like very much, if it is totally anarchy(无政府状态), how can we talk about respect?
Play by the     .
If your teacher wants you to take notes in class, do it. If she tells you to sharpen your pencils only before class starts, listen to her. If she     late homework, do yours on time. Sometimes classroom rules seem strict or even silly, but most teachers know what’s necessary to make things run well and what it takes to let the learning begin. And the better the learning environment, the      you will be!
Expect him/her to like you.
Teachers are teachers because they like kids. Given the chance, most teachers want to be your    , too. Respect your teacher, but do not be afraid of him/her. He/ she wants you to have a great school year just as much as you want to have one!
Put first things first.
Friends are a fun part of school. But they are not the most important part. When your teacher is teaching, give him/her full attention,      when it’s hard to do. Class will end and the ten-minute break will come soon enough, and that’s the time for playing with your friends
