Question

 Do you read advice columns in newspapers and magazines? Do you think they are helpful to everyone who reads them? Here are some.

Dear Sally,

I’ve got a problem. In my science class,my good friend Lana asked me to lend her my exercise book so she could copy my answers. Should I do it,Sally? I don’t want to,but I’m afraid that if I don’t give it to her she won’t be my friend any longer.            

                                                                   Carmen  

Dear Carmen,

Of course you can’t give her your exercise book. That’s cheating,and you could get into big trouble if you do that.

                                                                    Sally 

Dear Sally,

I was at my friend's house for dinner last Saturday. During dinner,I broke a beautiful plate. It was my friend’s favorite wedding gift. I wanted to pay for it,but she didn’t agree with me. I feel bad about it.

                                                                     Kay

Dear Kay,

I think you did the right thing. It was important to offer to pay for it,but it’s not surprising that she said no. Perhaps you could give her a special gift instead.

Sally Dear Sally,My son is 24 years old. He finished college last year,but he can’t seem to find a job that he likes. I’m worried that he’s not trying hard enough to get a job and live on his own. He sleeps till noon every day. Also I’ve been cooking his meals.

                                                                      Lisa 

Dear Lisa,

You’re making it too easy for him to stay where he is. Tell him he has two months to find a job (any job) ，and get his own place. He,s old enough to take care of himself.
