A letter to an Agony Aunt


Some children have problems and don’t know anybody they can talk to because their parents
don’t understand them and their friends just laugh at them. So they write a letter to an agony
aunt to ask for help.
In the following letter Janet writes about a girl in her form who is bullied by other children
and is very unhappy:

Read Janet’s letter to the Agony Aunt.

Camden Town, 3rd June 2009


Dear Agony Aunt,
I’m writing to you because I need your help.
Lisa, a girl in my form, is overweight and very bad at sports. That’s why a
group of other children in our form bullies her. They call her bad names,
take away her things and sometimes they even push and hit her when the
teachers aren’t around.
I think that this is very unfair. Last week I tried to help her, when I saw
that the others hit her and she fell on the ground and cried.
But there is a big problem: this group of pupils is very strong and all the
other children in my form are afraid of them.
So when Timothy, the boss of the group, saw me talk to Lisa he just said:
“Be careful and don’t tell the teachers or we’ll hit you, too!”
What can I do? I’m a bit afraid, too, but somebody must be on Lisa’s
side!
Have you got any ideas? Please help me.
Yours,

Janet (14)

London – a city with lots to see and do!


The city of London is one of the most famous European capital cities
capital of England
1 in the world. It is located in South East England. Many people live in
the city, but there are also lots of tourists who come to visit it. There
are many things to see and do.
Tourists love to come to London to see some of its famous sights.
Buckingham Palace, for example, is a very famous building where the
London’s famous sights
Queen of England lives. If the flag on top of the palace is flying, this
means she is at home! Another popular place is Hyde Park, a large
park where people can go for long walks and enjoy the trees, lakes and
flowers. There are also hundreds of museums, art galleries and
theatres to visit.
The River Thames is a large river that runs through the middle of
The River Thames and Tower Bridge
London, and there are several bridges built over it. Perhaps the most
well-known is Tower Bridge, which lets both cars and people cross
over it, as well as ships sail under it. When this happens, the bridge
has to lift up to let the ship pass underneath it.
London transport
Since London is such a big city, the transport system is important.
People need to get around quickly and cheaply. London’s big red
double-decker buses are popular with tourists , but there are now new
buses, too: “bendy buses” – buses which bend in the middle! There
are also many black taxis which can take you anywhere you want to
go (for a fare, of course!). There is also The London Underground,
which is one of the oldest underground rail systems in the world. It is
often called ‘The Tube’ because of the shape of the tunnels.
