There would be a school party on Friday evening. The girls were talking about what they were going to wear.

“I’m going to wear a black dress, so everybody will notice me,” said Emily. “How about you, Linda?”

“I’m not sure. Maybe jeans, an old shirt, and a hat. People will notice me more than you!” Linda said.

“What are we going to do about the boys?” asked Jane. “Do you remember the last school party, last year? They just stood there, and we girls had to dance by ourselves!”

  “I hear that some of the boys learned how to dance this summer. Maybe it’ll be better

this time,” said Mary.

   The party was held on Friday evening. Groups of students arrived. The music began. The girls stood in a line on one side, and the boys on another side. Mr. Green, their teacher, tried to get them together, but failed. After a while, Tim said, “I don’t want to stand here the whole time. The party is only for two hours. It’ll be over soon.” He started to dance. All the others watched him. Then David asked Emily if she wanted to dance. Then Jack and Linda. Then, all began to dance. Soon there were more dancers than watchers.

Here are two letters to George and his replies.
Dear George,
I’m fourteen and I’m much shorter for my age. What’s worse, I’m very fat. I want to be 55 kg and to be taller and then I can go to the school basketball team and enjoy myself. Can you help me?
Bob
Dear George,
I’m learning French but I don’t get good marks. I don’t know why. Sometimes I want to give up, but I know I shouldn’t because languages are going to be very important. What should I do?
Alice
Dear Bob,
Don’t worry if you’re shorter than your friends. Teenagers grow at different times. It doesn’t matter how heavy you are. You are still the same person. Plan your meals with your mum, and she can help you lose weight. Also, try taking more exercise.
George
Dear Alice,
You’re right. You should never give up, and I’m sure that you’ve made more progress than you think. You can talk to your teacher and ask her what you should do to get a better grade. Talk to your friends who are good at French. Find something that helps you.
George
