A six-year-old British girl, Mollie Price, is opening up her third candy store. She is said to be one of Britain’s youngest bosses. Her stores are called “Mollie’s.” She sells both British and American candy. The girl would like to open more candy stores. “It might sound crazy, but believe me,” Mollie says.

“It was Mollie’s idea to open up the shop. It is Mollie who runs the candy stores,” her mother Becky, her “business partner” says.

Her mother says all the stores are put together and stocked(进货)by Mollie. Mollie works in one of the stores every Saturday, then gets up early Sunday to go to the company’s product supplier(供应商). She asks her friends to test the sweets to decide which ones are good. She’s good at smart marketing. For example, if the weather is really cold, she sells the Mr Whippy ice cream cheaper than when it’s hot outside.

“Children have the best ideas. I tell my mum what I think and she always says I have good ideas. It’s just because I know what other children like,” Mollie says.

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.
