Reading

1. Read the two letters: one from a girl and the other from Miss Wiselady.

Đọc 2 bức thư sau: 1 bức từ 1 cô gái và một bức từ cô Wiselady.

Dear Miss Wiselady,

I am in grade 9 at a school in town. I absolutely love my school, and I love my classmates, except one thing.

it seems that the girls are always saying negative things about our teachers, even our headmistress. This kind of gossip makes me uncomfortable and upset. 1 don’t think it’s good for the study atmosphere, and it would be terrible if the teachers found out. I don't know how to face up to this issue. What should 1 do?

Upset

Dear Upset.

Well, that is a nasty problem. If you really wanted to do something, you could explain how you feel. Tell them that they should not go on with the gossip. But it might be too direct for some people. I suggest you try to keep away from it as much as possible. Keep quiet, or better still, just leave them if you are not comfortable with the topic of discussion.

Wiselady.
