a) same as yours,

b) different from yours.

A

Dear Jackie,

Can you help me? I need more pocket money, so I can buy some new computer games. All my friends have Saturday jobs, but my mum won't let me get one. She says I'll be too tired to do my schoolwork. What can I do, I'm so depressed about it.

Maisie (age 12)

B

Dear Jackie,

I'm in year 9 and I have to choose the subjects for next year. My parents and my teachers want me to continue History because I've got good marks, but I really hate History and the teacher is so boring. I want to continue French and German because I want to travel when I leave school. But my marks aren't very good. No one listens to me, I get so angry. Who should I listen to?

Joshua (age 13)

C

Dear Jackie,

I need your advice so much! I'm the only child in my family. I've got good marks, do sports twice a week. I clean my room and help my mum with dish washing. I walk our dog every evening. What I really want is just free time for skateboarding. But my parents are sure skateboarding is too dangerous. What can I do?

Sophia (age 14)

D

Dear Jackie,

What do you think I should do? All my friends smoke, they think it's really cool but I don't, I'm fed up with them telling me to try. I really don't want to. They call me names and say I'm frightened of getting into trouble, but it's not true. I just don't want to.

Greg (age 13)

123 Прочитайте письма со страницы проблемного раздела журнала. Скажите, чьи проблемы:

a) такие же, как ваши,

b) отличаются от ваших.

Ответ:

a) Same as yours:

Sophia's problem with balancing chores and hobbies while dealing with parental concerns about safety feels very familiar. (Проблема Софии с балансированием обязанностей по дому и увлечений, при этом справляясь с родительскими опасениями по поводу безопасности, кажется очень знакомой.)

Joshua's dilemma about choosing subjects for the next year when your personal interests clash with what parents or teachers recommend is something I can relate to. (Дилемма Джошуа по поводу выбора предметов на следующий год, когда твои личные интересы расходятся с тем, что рекомендуют родители или учителя, — это то, с чем я могу себя соотнести.)

b) Different from yours:

Maisie's problem about needing more pocket money and her mum not letting her get a Saturday job due to schoolwork is quite different, as my situation regarding pocket money or part-time work is not the same. (Проблема Мейзи, связанная с необходимостью большего количества карманных денег и тем, что мама не разрешает ей работать по субботам из-за учебы, довольно сильно отличается, так как моя ситуация с карманными деньгами или подработкой не такая.)

Greg's problem with peer pressure to smoke and being called names for not doing it is very different for me. I haven't experienced that kind of serious peer pressure. (Проблема Грега с давлением сверстников по поводу курения и оскорблениями за отказ от него для меня очень отличается. Я не сталкивался с таким серьезным давлением со стороны сверстников.)

123 Match the letters and Jackie's replies.

Jackie is a teenage magazine correspondent who writes answers to teenagers’ letters.

Write her answers next to the letters:

Letter A □ Letter B □ Letter C □

1. This is a very difficult situation. I’m sure your parents and teachers want you to do well in your subjects. They are thinking about your school life. You will have to do a lot of extra work if you want to continue with languages. But it’s also very important that you enjoy your lessons. Perhaps you could speak to other teachers and see what they think?

2. You are right, smoking is disgusting and bad for your health. It’s very difficult to stop smoking once you have started. So don’t listen to them and then perhaps your friends will be more like you.

3. Have you explained your situation carefully to your mum? If you promised to do all your homework on Saturday mornings, maybe then she would allow you to have a job in the afternoon?
