Reading and Listening
Dear Lisa,
There is nothing wrong with you and this boy being friends and studying together. Of course a boy and a girl can be good friends. Ending your friendship with this boy would be a stupid thing to do. You would lose a good friend and someone to study with.
Teenagers like to gossip, and they often see something that isn't real. Perhaps your classmates cannot understand your frinedship with this boy. That's no reason to stop it. My advice is to ignore your classmates. That way you will show them that you are more grown-up than they are.
Yours,
Miss Wang |
