Dear Nancy,
I was an outgoing boy. I had a group of good friends. I always did well in class and I was good at sports. Then a new boy called Alan came to our school. First, he got a higher score than me in a test. Then he joined the school soccer team. He is a good soccer player. Some students started to think he was better than me. I am really angry about it. What's worse, some of my best friends became his friends. What can I do?
Nick Dear Nick,
You are a very smart boy. But you can't be the best in the world at everything.
This is my advice. You should do your best in everything. But if Alan is better than you at some things, you should congratulate him and be happy for him. When your friends see that you can。
