Dear Hopeless,
Thanks for believing me. I am sorry to hear that. Please don’t worry.
You can learn math well, so I think you are very intelligent. As for English, I think first you should listen to cassettes every day and then it’s not difficult for you to understand the teacher in class. Also, you’d better read the text aloud every morning. Why don’t you borrow some English storybooks from school library
I hope my advice can help you a lot and you can enjoy learning English and catch up with others soon.
Yours,
Knowledgeable
