Dear Laura,
Your problem is big but it has a
solution. You should put some
distance with this friend until the
problem is fixed or you can talk with
your friend.

Thiago, 12 years.

Dear Thiago,
Thank you for contacting us. You must talk with your mom if you really think that you need one.
Tell her you need it because the school is changing and you need one to be connected. We
recommend a Huawei P8 lite. The price is very good. You don’t need an expensive mobile
phone. Your parents can also supervise the things that you do using apps for that.

I'M ALWAYS
BORED
D ear Júlia and Jan,
I’m always bored, I want to start a
new hobby. I’m free all evenings
from Monday to Friday, I don’t like
music and I prefer practising a sport.
I don’t have too much money, could
the inscription be cheap or free?
What hobby should I do? What
hobby do you recommend me?
Philippe, 16 years
Dear Philippe,
You could go running in the
evenings, but if you don’t like it, you
could ask sport activities at school.
You can also ask to the local
government if they do some sports
activities for free. To join a club, (that,
costs too much), you could work as a
delivery man to earn more money.
We hope that our idea would be
nice for you.
Júlia and Jan.

MY LIFE IS STRESFUL
D ear Bruna and Raúl,
I’m Pepe. I’m 11 years old. I have a lot of homework, three dictations, a Maths exam and two of
Science, which are very difficult. I can’t sleep at night and I don’t have free time to spent with
my family and friends and that makes me sad.
What should I do? I need your help!
Pepe, 11 years.
Dear Pepe,
You should make a timetable to organize yourself and find time with your family. If you need it,
you should ask help to your parents. Maybe you need to go to the doctor, but you must change
your lifestyle in order to be happier.
You mustn't worry about your grades, your health is the most important.
We believe in you.
Bruna and Raúl.

SCHOOL CONTEST
Dear Ana, Pablo and Miguel,
I’m Nora. I am 12 years old I live in New York. I want to learn to dance because I have a contest
in my school. I like classical music but I don’t like Rock and Roll. My mother doesn’t want me to
dance reggaeton and I want to do something original. What kind of dance should I learn? 
Nora, 12 years.
Dear Nora,
To do something different you must try to talk with your friends and practice in a hip hop
group. You can ask your parents if you can join some classes with your friends.
If not, you can practice in the playground of the school or ask your parents if you can stay at
home.

I WANT TO
HAVE A DOG
Dear Noa and Ivan,,
Hi, I am Pepe and I have always dreamed
about having a dog, but my parents do
not want a pet because we live in a small
apartment. I have asked my friends to
leave me a pet, but they do not let me
because they don’t trust me. What
should I do?
Pepe, 12 years old

Dear Pepe,
You should talk to your parents to tell
them you will take care of everything:
take the dog out, feed him … but you
must keep your word. If they don't agree,
you need to try to convince them to have
a small pet like a hamster or a fish ... In any
case, a small animal is one of the best
options to start. I hope I helped you,
Good luck ;)
