【答案】例文：
Dear Rose,
I’m sorry to hear that you are having some problems in the new city. But take it easy. I believe with your sincerity and friendliness, you will win more friends.
Here are my suggestions. First, overcome your shyness and communicate with your classmates. Try to be brave and open yourself up to them. Second, take part in more social activities that interest you. When you are doing things you like, you will subconsciously talk to people because you have topics in common.

Yours,
