下面是一個(gè)中學(xué)生給某報(bào)編輯寫的一封信，仔細(xì)閱讀并就信的內(nèi)容以編輯的名義給此中學(xué)生寫一封120詞左右的回信。

Dear Editor，

I am an active girl，and I speak and laugh loudly in the classroom，like a boy. I don’t care about small matters.On the contrary, my neighbour，the girl who sits next to me，speaks quietly and dare not do the things I often do.I can understand this.

What I can’t stand is that she often gets angry with me about small things.How can I get along with her?

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Yours sincerely，

Sunny
