湖南长郡卫星远程学校 2013 年下学期制作 13 As high school students ， we often have some problems and we always try to solve them by ourselves.

湖南长郡卫星远程学校 2013 年下学期制作 13 and friends for help ． My friend Ma Jie Was in the same situation ． This is what he did ． Ma Jie has been playing for the city basketball team for a few years and he plays quite well ． His coach thinks he has a chance to become a real star ． The coach thinks that Ma fie needs to spend more time working on his basketball skills ．

湖南长郡卫星远程学校 2013 年下学期制作 13 However, as he has always been an average student ， Ma Jie‘s parents feel that he needs to spend more time improving his grades ， so that he can go to a good university ．

湖南长郡卫星远程学校 2013 年下学期制作 13 The problem is that Ma Jie does not have time to study more. because he plays basketball so often. Neither does he have time to work harder at basketball, because he still has to study. He wants to go to a good university, but he also wants to play basketball ．

湖南长郡卫星远程学校 2013 年下学期制作 13 I talked with an older student about Ma Jie’s problem and asked for advice ． He made some good suggestions that were really useful. He suggested that Ma Jie should talk ． with his parents ， his teachers and his coach about what he was thinking ．

湖南长郡卫星远程学校 2013 年下学期制作 13 Ma ． Jie has promised his parents that he will study as hard as he can at school ． Everyone is satisfied and happy now ． So ， from this we can see ， if we have problems ， we should talk about them with our parents and teachers, and ask them to help us. Then we can find good solutions ．
