Dear Lucy,

Your letter came as surprise to me yesterday．I don't know you were suffering so much lately．I should have written to you earlier! We must admit that life sometimes is not such easy．Failure is part of life，especial when we are growing up，right? Your classmate laughed at your failure? Forget it! It is certain that they didn't mean to．If possible，have a chat about him or her, telling him or her how you are doing with your inside．Never say you want to drop out of school．because it is not a good way to solving the problem．What you should do right now is to calm yourself but try to think of the things that make you happy．Just cheer up whatever you face problems．

Yours，

Li Hua
