2 Read the emails and complete the table.
Dear Sue,
I’m a teenage student. There’s nothing special about me. I get average grades in all my subjects except English. Although I‘m a little better at English, sometimes I make bad mistakes. My friend Lisa, however, is talented and smart. She is good at everything.
形容词修饰不定代词，应后置。
I want to be like her, but I know that’s impossible. I feel bad about myself.
What can I do
A sad girl from Washington
长难句分析：这是一个并列复合句，由并列连词but 连接两个并列分句。第一个分句中be like 意为“像……”； 第二个分句的主语是I，谓语是know，that's impossible 是省略了that 的宾语从句。
Dear Girl,
Nobody is perfect in this world. Not even your friend! We all have our strong points and weak points. Think about your strong points. For example, you are good at English, and I’m sure you are a kind and friendly girl. What do you like about yourself Make a list and read it every morning.
Don’t be too hard on yourself. We all make mistakes. The important thing is to learn from them.
Look at yourself in the mirror and smile every day. Be your own best friend, and be happy with yourself. You are a special person and unique in your own way!
Sue

寻读法
寻读法是一种快速阅读的技巧，通过扫读文本迅速查找某项具体事实或特定信息。在做阅读题目之前 ,可先浏览问题或特定信息，以便快速精准地找到答案。例如Problem一栏中“There’s nothing _____ about me. ”，可快速定位到第一段第二句话“There’s nothing special about me. ”，故填special。
