A
I want to take part in the school violin competition this year,
but I am not sure whether I should or not. I practise the violin
for three hours every day. However, I have never won a prize,
although I have entered the competition several times. I came
fourth last year. That was my best. I feel quite unhappy with
the result. I wonder if I should just give up.
Kate
Your advice:
Don’t care about the result too much. The most
important thing is you attend it and do your best.
B
My best friend Linda and I both love action and singing. I
have just found out that I have got the biggest part in the
school play. Linda has only got a small part. She is not
happy about it. I feel sorry for her. I know she wants me to
refuse the big part. She says that is what a good friend
should do. But it is really important to me. What should I
do?
Susan
Your advice:
You should have a talk with Linda and let her know
that there is no bigger part, but better actor.We
should try to be better actors.
C
My friend Peter finds maths very difficult. He wants me to let
him copy my homework. I want to refuse because I do not
think it is honest to do that, but I do not want Peter to get into
trouble with his parents. They have warned him about not
working hard. But he does work hard–it is just that he does
not understand the work.
Jack
Your advice:
You should try your best to help Peter to understand
the work and persuade him to do it by himself.
