Problem:
     I'm bored. We have a day off because of the heavy rain. If you didn't go to school today, what would
 you do? Why? Linda Some advice:
     If I were you, I would be at home doing something, such as making my bed or helping my mother do
 some chores. That way, my room would be clean and my parents would be happy.Tina
     I would do what I love! Maybe I would help Mom do some cooking. I would learn how to make
