My easter holidays.
This year my Easter holidays were very relaxing because I was tired of the 2nd term. Every day I met my friends and we went to different places and we did a lot of different things. I have enjoyed these Easter holidays a lot!
In my opinion I was too relaxed and now it's difficult to do the things again. But I'm not worried about that because these holidays were fantastic.
GIVING ADVICE
Dear Mariona,
One of my friends has started acting quite strangely. She's always looking for money and she sometimes misses school. She's going out with a guy, Steve, who I don't know very well. Steve doesn't speak to me when the three of us are together and he looks at me very angrily.
I don't really know what's happening. What's your advice?
Clare.
TASK:
Dear Clare,
If I were you, I'd be very worried about this because unfortunately it's possible that the problem is serious.
Obviously you should talk with Steve soon and with her too because if you didn't talk to them soon the problem would be worse. It's very important that you talk quickly. If she didn't tell you anything she would talk to another friend.
As for Steve, I think that he's a problem because he probably influences her in many things. Your friend should talk to him clearly before the problem will be bigger.
Mariona.
