Reading Jeff Is anyone out there??? Hey, I have a problem. I fight with my parents about pocket money all the time. I never have enough money to go anywhere at the weekends and, because of school, I don’t have time to work. My parents tell me to get a job in summer, but in summer I want a break from school. I need the time to relax. I think parents should have to give their kids pocket money. How can I get my parents to give me more? . . . . 5 . . Anna Hey there! I really like a boy a lot.

Workbook p. 62, ex. 8 14 47–50Ó listening fu5g8g Match the texts above with the answers below. A It’s not good that you don’t eat for some days. You should definitely go to the doctor and have a check-up. Perhaps there are some foods that you are allergic to. If you can talk to your parents, you should definitely do that first! B I can really understand your problem. It’s not easy when other pupils make fun of you. I think the first thing that you should do is talk to your parents. Make an appointment with a nutritionist and check your eating habits. Maybe you can do some sports with your dad to lose weight. C It can be hard to talk to your parents. Every teenager has that problem sometimes. Maybe you can make a deal with your parents. Ask them if you can help around the house for more money. Say that you will help for 30 minutes or one hour every day and that they could pay you for your help. Maybe that’ll work. D Have you talked to your best friend? Maybe this is all just a misunderstanding. Maybe the boy that you are talking about just has a lot of things to do at the moment. Have you talked to your friend or to the boy? Maybe you can ask this boy why he is not spending time with you anymore. Do you have a problem? Do you want to talk to someone who understands, like another teenager? We’re here to help!
