短文填空

这是一段妈妈鼓励杰克学好英语的对话。
1. do well in 句意：你当然可以做得很好。此处应是妈妈认为杰克能做得好，do well in 意为“在某方面干得好”。
2. tried my best 此处表达自己尽管尽力学习英语，但没有取得好成绩。
3. next door 句意：她住在隔壁，对吗？妈妈建议杰克向住在隔壁的米莉请教英语。next door 意为“在隔壁”。
4. By the way 句意：顺便说一下，我认为你有另一个问题。妈妈在谈到杰克的英语问题时，突然转到另一个问题，By the way 符合语境，意为“顺便说一下”，句首首字母大写。
5. careless 句意：你有时候太粗心了。根据后文“You often forget about things.”可知，妈妈应是认为杰克太粗心，careless 意为“粗心的”。
