Dear Sam,

How are you doing? It’s sad that we are not in the same class this year.

Our friend Natalie had some bad behaviour at school this week. I’m very concerned about her because she is our good friend. In the past she behaved well, but lately she has been very different.

On the school bus, we should sit quietly. Instead, Natalie shouts and throws things at other students. She even pulls the hair of other girls. No one wants to sit with her.

We should listen carefully during our lessons in the classroom, but Natalie is always talking to other classmates. Also, she shouldn’t run in the corridor because it’s very dangerous. However, she ran very fast and knocked me over. I didn’t get hurt and, of course, I wasn’t angry with her.

Today Natalie talked rudely to our English teacher Mr Chan. She shouted loudly in the classroom and she said some very bad words. Mr Chan was very mad and asked her to see him after school.

Now, classmates in our class dislike Natalie. No one even wants to have lunch with her. However, I believe something happened to her and made her behaviour different. Do you want to have lunch with her together next Monday? I hope we can listen to her and show our care.

Love, Eric
