The other day I was doing some shopping. A man, who was untidy, walked towards a group of us at the checkout(收银台). I heard him talk to the man in front of me, “I don’t want to steal (偷)from this store… would you ______ me some food?”

The cashier(收银员) looked at me doubtfully(怀疑地) and then added them to ______ order. After I was through, the man said he wanted something to drink, too. The cashier seemed to be keeping a close eye on him. I admitted(承认) I was too, as I didn’t want him to steal nothing ______ ! I told the cashier that if he got a(n) ______ , I’d just pay for it.

Dear Marjorie,

I’m having troubles at school. I find it difficult to get down to work in the evenings and I can’t concentrate(全神贯注) on anything at the moment. I spend most of my time listening to music or watching TV instead of doing my homework when I am at home. The other students in my class are much better than I am and I have problems with following the lessons as well. I can’t always take down the important things my teacher says because I write so slowly. She has told me that I’m falling behind with my studies. I’m not good at writing and I usually hand in my homework late because I put off doing it until the last minute. So I often have to invent different excuses to tell my teacher why I haven’t done the work. I’m sure I’ m not going to get through my final exams in July. I’m now so far behind that I don’t know how I’ m going to catch up with them. My teacher spent some time going through my homework with me but she found so many mistakes that I felt even more depressed(沮丧). What do you suggest I do?

Yours,

George
