I want to take part in the school violin competition this year, but I am not sure whether
I should or not.
I practise the violin for three hours every day.
However, I have never won
a prize, although I have entered the competition several times.
I came fourth last year.
That was my best.
I feel quite unhappy with the result.
I wonder if I should just give up.

Your advice:
My best friend Linda and I both love acting and singing.
I have just found out that
I have got the biggest part in the school play.
Linda has only got a small part.
She
is not happy about it.
I feel sorry for her.
I know she wants me to refuse the big
part.
She says that is what a good friend should do.
But it is really important to
me.
What should I do?

Your advice:
My friend Peter finds maths very difficult.
He wants me to let him copy my homework.
I want to refuse because I do not think it is honest to do that, but I do not want
Peter to get into trouble with his parents.
They have warned him about not working
hard.
But he does work hard -- it is just that he does not understand the work.
