Q
Dear Dale,
I have a bad relationship with one of my classmates since I sometimes gossiped (说闲话) about her private life, which annoyed (惹恼) her. I’ve realized my mistake, but I don’t know how to make it right. And what I worry about most is whether she’ll forgive (原谅) me. Gossip Child

Dear Gossip Child,
Most people have probably gossiped about a friend before, so you’re not alone.
However, that doesn’t make it acceptable for us to do this. If you value your friendship, you should apologize (道歉) to your friend.
When it comes to situations like these, many of us feel uncomfortable having to face someone alone to talk with them.
In those cases (情况), writing a letter is always a good idea. That way, we can say everything we want to say to the other person without being interrupted (打断) or forgetting to say certain things.
If you choose to write a letter to your friend, you should try to explain why you gossiped about her. Tell her that you won’t do it again.
If you tell your friend how much your friendship means to you, she may forgive you for what you did.
Friendships are very important, especially at school, so you should try to keep as many of them as possible.
So just remember: the next time you have some gossip about someone, it’s probably best to keep it to yourself.Dale
