Read Phoebe's email. What did her grandfather give her advice about?
Dear Granddad,
I'm writing to thank you for your advice about my new school. I felt really lost at first! The work here is harder and the teachers give us lots of homework. I found some subjects very confusing, but you were right, I just needed to explain that to the teachers. They realised I wanted to get better and since then they've been helping me a lot. Luckily, I'm hard-working!
Making friends wasn't easy. You know how shy I am, and as it's Year 7 they all knew each other already. I found it difficult to join in. Your advice to smile and ask questions vorked, though. As you predicted, people smiled back! They've been happy to help me and now I've made a few friends. They've been showing me the town, and I'm feeling really happy now! So thanks again. I don't know what I'd do without you! Lots of love, Phoebe xx
