Dear Sally,
     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.

Dear 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
Dear Sally, 
     I 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
Dear 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.

Dear 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
Dear 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.
