　　Do you read advice columns in newspapers and magazines?Do you think they are helpful to everyone who reads them?Here are some：

　　I've got a problem．My good friend Lana in my science class asked me to lend her my exercise book so she could copy my answers．Should I do it．Sally?I don't want to, but I'm afraid that if I don't give it to her she won't be my friend any longer．Carmen

　　Of course you can't give her your exercise book．That's cheating, and you could get into big trouble if you do that．Sally

　　1 was at friend's house for dinner last Saturday．During dinner, I broke a beautiful plate．It was my friend's favorite wedding gift．I wanted to pay for it, but she didn't agree with me．I feel bad about it．

Kay

　　I think you did the right thing．It was important to offer to pay for it, but it's not surprising that she said no．Perhaps you could give her a special gift instead．

Sally

　　My son is 24 years old．He finished college last year, but he can't seem to find a job that he likes．I'm worried that he's not trying hard enough to get a job and live on his own．He sleeps till noon every day．Also I've been cooking his meals．

Lisa

　　You're making it too easy for him to stay where he is．Tell him he has two months to find a job(any job)and get his own place．He's old enough to take care of himself．

　　Do you enjoy reading?Here readers of your age from all over the United States recommend great books for you to read:

　　My favorite book is Don't Die,My Love by Lurlene McDaniel.I love all her books,but this was the first one I read and I have to say,it is by far my favorite.It doesn't end like other books.and I cried while reading.

　　I think Nancy Drew is great!Nancy is a detective(侦探)who has many fantastic ideas!I love it because it's a book from when my grandma was my age,and I can share the fun with her!

　　I highly recommend Skinny Bones by Barbara Park.It is funny so please add it on your book list.You don't want to miss out funny stories!

　　I would suggest ________ by Judy Blume.It is based on real things that happened to Judy Blume.It is about a girl,Alice,who meets some girls at a new state.They become friends,make a club and meet once a week.They stop after two weeks because they all like a boy in their class and put him as number one.I think every girl should read this because it is about our growing up.

　　I read a book called Neela：Victory Song and it was so good I read it twice!It takes place in India in 1936 and this 12-year-old girl named Neela tries to save her father!It has lots of history in it!I also learned a lot about different cultures!The author's name is Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni.

Dear Sir,

　　I read your article(of the 4th of February)about the cost living in the country rather than the town, and I agree with most of the points that you made．My husband and I lived in the middle of Horlton until two years ago－a seaside town of nearly five hundred thousand people．When my husband stopped working, we moved to our present house in a small village at the foot of Roland Hill, and our costs are higher now．

　　I have to do my shopping in small shops, where the food is more expensive than in city supermarket; it costs more to travel by bus; and because the men who come to mend the TV set．or the washing machine, have to come further, we have to pay them more．

　　But it does not cost us as much to enjoy what is beautiful in the country; and peace and quiet are cheap．Many people spend a good deal of time and money driving into the country to enjoy the simple things of life; yet we can enjoy them just by going out of the front door．It costs more to live here than it did in Horlton, but now life is really worth living．

Yours faithfully,

Edith Randall(Mrs)
