Dear Mr. Black，
My English teacher is very strict with us. Last week, Frank asked me a question in class. But she thought we were speaking in class. She reproved(责备) us and told us not to talk in class again. This made me upset. After that, I felt very uncomfortable in her class. However, I really want to learn English well. What should I do
Yours，
