Dear Miss Wang,
I am having some trouble with my best friend Lucy. I feel quite
(1) at the moment. We are in the same class. Some of our classmates give her a nickname. She doesnˈt like it and usually gets annoyed when they call her like that. However, yesterday, I accidentally said that name. I didnˈt know why I did it. She was really angry and thought I laughed at her
(2) . I wanted to
(3) that I was sorry but she refused to talk to me and went away. I want to tell her she is my best friend and I
(4) her. But up to now, she still seems angry and ignores me. I know I should wait until she

Yours, Lily
Dear Lily,
I have received your letter. I am sorry this makes you so worried. (6) on my own experiences, I think your friend may be as worried as you, because she trusts you a lot and doesnˈt believe you may call her that nickname as other people do. If she is reluctant to talk to you (7) , I suggest you send her a letter or an e-mail about what you want to say. Or you can leave a note inside her desk or some book. In this letter or email, you can write that you did something wrong promise her that you will never do it again. Please remember, that respect (8) in keeping friendship. There are a number of things we should not do, (9) lying to our friends, laughing at our friend, breaking our promises… Otherwise they may get angry and the friendship will be at risk.
Hope you can make it up with her!
Best Wishes,
Miss Wang
