2Dear Jenny,
I want a mobile phone, but my parents won't buy me one. They say they won't be
able to pay the money for it. What should I do?
Nina, 14

3 Dear Jenny,
My dad has got a new job and he works long hours. He often has to work at weekends,
too, so we spend very little time together. I miss him. What should I do?
Jim, 13

A. You should discuss this problem with your parents. Have you talked to your father? Surely he misses
you, too. Tell him how you feel, and perhaps he can spend more time with you. You can also ask your mother
to make something special when your father isn't working.
B. You shouldn't worry so much. If you study hard, you'll do well. Try to relax, find time to go for walks
and eat three healthy meals every day. Don't drink coffee or tea because you won't be able to sleep. You
should drink a glass of hot milk before you go to bed and think in a positive (积极的) way. Good luck.
C. Can you afford it? Can you pay for the huge bills (帐单) to run the mobile phone? Mabee you ahould
save your pocket money. Anyway, you are still at school and you should concentrate on your study. Why not
give up this idea?
