WRITING
Read the letter to a magazine advice column. Then read the opening paragraph of a letter which a reader of the magazine wrote to ‘Friendless, Duluth’ and correct the spelling mistakes in the underlined words.
I have a major problem at school and don't know who I should turn to for advice. It all started when I
refused to go to hockey practice one day. I like being on the hockey team, but I was feeling sleepy because
I had stayed up late studying the previous night. The coach was very angry and Bob, another guy on the
team, called me a name. Stupidly, I took revenge by making up a story and telling a teacher that I had
seen Bob cheating on a test. Now, none of my friends will talk to me. Please help me find a way to get
my friends back.
