6. ACTIVITY 5: PROBLEM PAGE
People often write to problem page (advice columns) in magazines for help. Why do
people resort to this type of help?
Do you think the sort of advice is useful? Is it reliable? Why? Why not?
Five people - Tomi, Andri, Kendra, Reza, and Junita - have written to the problem page
of a magazine. Find who wrote each letter by matching the problem letters with the
advice.
PROBLEM
LETTERS I’m very overworked. I’ve got a full
time job and two children, but my wife
never helps with any household jobs and
never looks after the children. It’s so
unfair! (5)
Dear Andri,
It is necessary to ask your wife to
help with housework. If she doesn’t
want to, you should leave her at once
or you’ll be a slave all your life.
