Dear Jonathan,

I just got your letter and I think you shouldn't worry so much. Things will get better soon if you have a positive attitude.

    If I were you, I would apply for a better job. This way you'll have more money and you'll also be able to go out more.

    I hope this advice is of some help to you.

    Good luck.

Helen

    B) One possible version:

    Technology has made it possible for us to listen to our favourite music wherever we go. One of the advantages of listening to a Walkman is that we can listen to music without disturbing other people. It also keeps us from getting bored on long journeys.

    However, listening to a Walkman can cause some problems. Sometimes it can be dangerous because we  can't hear traffic. What's worse, Walkmans stop communication between people.

    All in all, although Walkmans are popular among young people, I think we should be careful with them.

Jane: That's why I want to work. Then, I won't have to ask you for money.

Father: You have a lot of homework every day. How can you work and study at the same time?

Jane: Yes, I can. I know I can.

Father: Jane, your school work is the most important thing. But I have an idea. Once a week, you can come to my shop and help out a bit. You can clean the floors and the windows — that sort of thing. I'll pay you for each hour you work. How does that sound?
