Reading 2

Dear Mary,
I have a problem. I need your help. I always thought my cousin Joan and Igot along well. We are of the same age and I think she is very nice. But she likes listening to music and she always turns on the radio when I am doing my homework. She also always borrows my things and doesn't return them. Last Sunday she took away my English book and hasn't returned it yet. I argued with her yesterday. What should I do? Could you please give me some advice?

Yours,

Cathy

Dear Cathy,
There are lots of things you can do. First, don't be unhappy. Have a good talk with her and ask her to turn off or turn down the radio when you do your homework. Next time she wants to borrow your things, don't lendthem to her. Maybe you could ask your aunt to buy one for her. I hope you will be happy again, and that you and she can continue to be good friends for a long time.

Yours,

Mary
