A．You'd better tell your mom the truth and explain why you failed the test．Ask her if she can help you study in the future，so you'll do better on your tests and also have time for the soccer you love． B．Just be yourself and try not to care about what others think．The more you think about it，the worse you will feel．Always act strong and confident．Even if you are a little unsure of something，don't doubt （懷疑） your abilities to do things right．Just relax． C．You should tell him about your dream and that if you work really hard，it might happen even though you started late．The sooner you tell your dad how you feel，the sooner you'll be able to work on making your dream come true． D．You should take more exercise to prepare for the Olympic team． E．Nobody knows you at your new school．You have nothing to lose，so gather up all your courage and go over to someone who looks friendly and introduce yourself．You can ask that person about your teacher or the other kids in your class to break the ice．Good luck! F．I think you should be patient to listen to what your parents say．Because they have more experience than you．Their suggestions are good to you． G．You can make a speech in front of a mirror every day，and it will make you more confident to give a speech one day．
