dear ben,
i am sorry to hear that you are having trouble getting used to life in middle school. in your letter you said that you always felt lonely because of having few friends. i think it is a good choice to join some clubs in your school. in this way. you can make * friends who share the same interest with you. besides, you d better be friendly to others. smile at others and you are sure to get a smile in return. on the other hand, you found it difficult to remember english words. reading * english stories and news can * you learn english words in a practical way. in addition, if you can d*lop a ha*t of keeping an english diary *ry day, it will be easier for you to remember * words. i hope you will find these suggestions useful.
