Worried sister, Bath
A. Read the letter to an advice column of a magazine
and answer the questions.
Having probs?
We all have problems but
I want to know about yours.
So write to me.
I’ve got a problem and I’m not sure what to do. Last week, my
friend Kevin needed a bike to go to the shops. I couldn’t give him
mine because it had a flat tyre. My brother has a new bike, so I
gave him his. However, now I’m in big trouble because my friend
had an accident and crashed it. What should I do? I’m so upset!
My brother really likes his bike! Should I say that I crashed it? If
I tell my brother I did it, he will be really angry. But if I tell him I
lent it to Kevin, he’ll be even angrier. I’d like to fix it so my brother
won’t notice, but I need a lot of money to do that and I’m only 14.
Can you please help me?
