My deskmate (同桌), Lana, often asks me questions in class, so I can't hear what the teacher is saying. The other students are quite angry with us.

I'm going to take the mid-term exam next month. Will I do well in it? Will my parents be angry if I don't? I am really worried. I Can't eat well and I'm not sleeping very well.

Alice, my good friend, will have her 15th birthday party next week. She has invited me to it, but I don't have money to buy her a gift. What should I do?
