Question

Dear Claire, I don't enjoy using the phone! It makes me very nervous to call my friends because an adult might answer. What should I do? Tara

Dear Tara, A good way to beat nervousness is to know what you want to say before you make the phone call. You can say, “Hello, this is Tara. Could I speak to Nelly?” If your friend isn't at home, then you can say, “Would you tell her that I called? Thank you.” Practice these loud until you feel comfortable to say them, and try to be calm before you call. Good luck! Claire

Dear Sarah, I bought a pair of hearing aids(助听器) during the summer vacation. Now I wear them to school. But everyone is asking, “Hi, what are those?” I don't know what I should tell them. Laura

Dear Laura, The best thing to do is to give a polite but quick answer. You can say, “They're hearing aids. They're just like glasses, but for ears.” Questions like this can be difficult to answer, but try not to show that they get to you. If you don't worry about hearing aids, most people will not. Sarah
