Exercise 1a: Fill in the gaps 1) you should do 2) how about 3) Another suggestion 4) It's better than 5) Let me know Full text: Dear Annie, Thank you for writing to me about your problem. I was sorry to hear that you are unhappy at your new school because you don't know anyone there. I have some advice on how to make new friends. The first thing 1) you should do is try to become part of the new school. For example, 2) how about joining the drama club? This way, you show people you really want to be part of things. 3) Another suggestion is to invite a few of your classmates to study with you. 4) It's better than studying alone and, by doing this, you will get to know people better. I hope you find my advice useful. Don't forget, it's up to you to make things happen. 5) Let me know how things go. I think that you will soon have lots of new friends. Best wishes, Paula Exercise 4: Match each piece of advice to its reason 1 — c: Tell your teacher now before you fall behind. — The teacher can't know what your problem is if you don't tell her. 2 — b: Ask her to give you more exercises for practice. — By showing that you really want to learn, your teacher won't get angry. 3 — a: Explain that you sincerely want to keep up in class. — Teachers are there to support you with extra help when you need it.
