Activity l

Objective: to practise expressing problems

Culture Note: In the USA and the UK there are many magazines, especially for teenagers, which have a 'Problem Page'. There is a person, usually a woman, who answers readers' letters. The woman is usually like a wise aunt or elder sister. People write about their problems expecting to get some advice. Usually the advice is published on the same page as the letter. Recently, in magazines aimed at boys and men, the 'wise aunt' is a man.

Ask PP to read the example and write any problems they have.
