Dear Fran,
I’m very glad to hear that Mei is so good at English. In my opinion, she should take part in the contest. It is a chance to show herself and learn from others. She is very clever. She can speak English really well. And she always comes top in the school exam. So she is sure to win the contest. There is no need for her to be shy. Tell her that the teacher and the whole class will help her prepare for the contest and encourage her to practice in various ways. With the help of the teacher and the classmates, she will succeed. Do remember: Try, then you’ll make it.
